Jobs

A job is a WebSphere Commerce command that is scheduled to run on behalf of a site or store at a specified time or interval. There are three types of jobs:

Each job runs as a separate thread, and multiple jobs can be scheduled to run simultaneously. A fixed number of threads are assigned to each application group. To avoid overloading the default application pool, the Schedule Job window allows for application partitioning. The application type is entered into the SCHCONFIG table with the number of threads assigned to execute the job.

The Schedule Job window can also be used to specify the start time for a job. Job tracking information, including start time, end time, and status is maintained in the SCHSTATUS table and displayed on the Scheduler Status Display page.

Note: When using multiple clones or the same database, you must create a specific instance name in the instance_name.xml file for the support of broadcast jobs.
