Tip:

In some circumstances, a utilization run batch job can fail to complete successfully and not report the error. This might happen if, for example, you abort a utilization run batch job that is in progress. If this happens and you want to run the job again, you must first check that the process has definitely failed. If it has, delete the process lock record before running the job again.
