Job scheduling and dispatch

Learn how jobs are scheduled and dispatched to hosts for execution.

Configure time windows for job dispatch and execution and use deadline constraint scheduling suspend or stop running jobs at certain time. Configure application profiles to improve the management of applications by separating scheduling policies from application-level requirements. Give jobs exclusive use of an execution host. Define job dependencies where the start of one job depends on the state of other jobs. Assign priority to jobs to control the order that jobs are dispatched. Re-queue jobs automatically when they fail. Rerun jobs automatically when an execution host becomes unavailable while a job is running.
