+=== FlatfileItemReader with AmqpItemWriter batch job
+In this example the batch job will read from the `test.txt` file and write the result to the `sampleexchange` exchange.
+```
+java -Dspring.profiles.active=ffreader,amqpwriter -jar target/single-step-batch-job-2.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
+```
+
+NOTE: Before running create an exchange named `sampleexchange`.
+
+=== AmqpItemReader with FlatfileItemWriter batch job
+In this example the batch job will read from the `samplequeue` queue and write the result to the `result.txt` in the current directory.
+```
+java -Dspring.profiles.active=amqpreader,ffwriter -jar target/single-step-batch-job-2.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
+```
+
+NOTE: Before running create and populate a queue named `samplequeue`.
+
+=== FlatfileItemReader with KafkaItemWriter batch job
+In this example the batch job will read from the `test.txt` file and write the result to the `sampletopic` topic.
+```
+java -Dspring.profiles.active=ffreader,kafkawriter -jar target/single-step-batch-job-2.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
+```
+
+Before running create a topic named `sampletopic`.   For example:
+```
+kafka-topics.sh --create --topic sampletopic --bootstrap-server localhost:9092
+```
+
+=== KafkaItemReader with FlatfileItemWriter batch job
+In this example the batch job will read from the `sampletopic` topic and write the result to the `result.txt` in the current directory.
+```
+java -Dspring.profiles.active=kafkareader,ffwriter -jar target/single-step-batch-job-2.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
+```
+
+Before running populate the topic named `sampletopic`.   For example populate it using the FlatfileItemReader and KafkaItemWriter from above:
+```
+java -Dspring.profiles.active=ffreader,kafkawriter -jar target/single-step-batch-job-2.3.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
