Hi 82padarthi,

well reading the docs about DBX inputs.conf http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/1.1.6/DeployDBX/inputsspec I cannot find anything mentioning a [batch] stanza, that's why it is ignored.
Never did that though, so try any other method mentioned in the docs.

Hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
