Definition

Classification of background jobs according to priority and job type.

Use

Procedure

Enter one of the following classes for your job:

  • A: Jobs with high priority whose execution is absolutely necessary for further processing.

    Class A jobs are always processed before jobs of other classes. If the system has several background work processes, the background processing system reserves at least one process for the processing of A jobs.

  • B: Jobs that should be run at regular intervals, for example, jobs transferring performance statistics.

    Class B jobs are processed before class C jobs.

  • C: Jobs that neither fit into class A nor in class B and that do not require a higher priority. Class C is the default class.

To be able to enter class A and B, you must have an authorization for the authorization object Background processing: background administrator.
