Definition

Background job classification according to priority and job type.

The classes possible are:

  • A: High priority jobs. Their execution is essential for continued operation.

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

  • B: Jobs that run regularly, for example jobs which transfer performance statistics.

    Class B jobs are processed before class C jobs.

  • C: Jobs which fit neither in class A nor in class B and do not call for higher priority. Class C is the standard class.

To specify classes A and B, you must have an authorization for the authorization object Background Processing: Background Administrator.
