6.2 Batch constraints

The maximum size of a batch is not defined in this part of the RDR standard but shall be agreed by the message sender and message recipient before using this profile.

It is not permitted to include claims with respect to the same sound recording more than once in a single batch. Therefore, if the message sender wants to have several batches “open” at the same time, it needs to ensure that no claims with respect to the same sound recording are contained in more than one batch.

The maximum time a batch may be kept “open” is determined in accordance with the bilateral agreement between the sender and the recipient of the messages.

To ensure sequential processing, a batch is identified by the date and time of its creation in the form YYYYMMDDhhmmssuuunnn (BatchId) with:

  • YYYY being the year of batch creation;

  • MM being the month of batch creation;

  • DD being the day of batch creation;

  • hh being the hour of batch creation;

  • mm being the minute of batch creation;

  • ss being the second of batch creation;

  • uuu being the millisecond of batch creation; and

  • nnn being the nanosecond of batch creation.

 

The message sender shall ensure that the BatchId is unique for each of the message recipients with which it communicates RDR messages.
