## 8.2. Steps for Setting Up Batch Job Submission

Generally speaking, a job refers to a process that runs when an external application is launched from EKM.

A batch job is a sequence of tasks to be executed by the operating system. Batch jobs are handled by RSM and do not require that EKM wait for the job to complete before performing other tasks. These jobs are often long-running. Consequently EKM provides a way to monitor the status of jobs, and notifies the user when a job is complete. Batch jobs in EKM are typed as `Job` objects.

In order to successfully run batch jobs in EKM, you must install ANSYS solvers, Workbench and RSM, and configure EKM to work with RSM.
