Choose which background jobs run for a credit association

Summary

Turn the background jobs on or off for one credit association, so its automatic processes run as intended. About 4 minutes - 7 steps. Also called: scheduled tasks, automated jobs, job configuration.

Prerequisites

  • A superadmin sign-in for the CAMS Superadmin Portal. Only superadmin users can open or change this tab.
  • The name or ID of the Sacco you are configuring.
  • Agreement from your operations team on which jobs this Sacco needs.

Step-by-step

  1. Sign in to the CAMS Superadmin Portal.
  2. In the left menu, click Credit Associations. You'll see the list of Saccos.
  3. Search for the Sacco by name or ID, then click it. Its profile opens.
  4. Click the Jobs tab. The jobs appear in two columns, each with a checkbox.
  5. Read the job names before you change anything. Each name describes what the job does, for example Jobs.Loan.Accrual and Jobs.TransactionReconcileJob. Jobs cover areas such as loans, subscriptions, notifications and repayments.
  6. Tick the checkbox beside each job this Sacco should run. Clear a checkbox to stop that job.
  7. Click Save at the bottom. The job configuration for this Sacco updates.

Warning: Nothing is applied until you click Save. If you navigate away first, your changes are lost.

Note: Some jobs depend on others. Turning off Loan Accrual can affect Interest Payout, so check related jobs before you save.

Common pitfalls & FAQ

  • I cannot see the Jobs tab. Only superadmin users can open and change it.
  • I ticked a job but nothing happened. Changes apply only after Save. Open the tab again and check your ticks are still there.
  • Interest is not posting for this Sacco. Check that the loan accrual job is ticked. Interest Payout can be affected when Loan Accrual is off.
  • Transactions are not reconciling. Check that the transaction reconciliation job is ticked.
  • A warning appeared when I cleared a job. The portal can warn you when a critical job is deselected. Read the warning before you save.
  • Should I clear every checkbox? No. Essential background processes must stay on.
  • Which jobs should this Sacco have? There is no standard list that suits every Sacco. Ask your operations team before you change a live one.
