Resource Contention Management

Introduction

Process classes and locks can be used to manage the use of resources such as databases or printers:

Process Classes:
- limit the number of jobs that are running concurrently.
- specify remote JobScheduler Workload instances and Agents on which jobs should be executed.
Locks:
- limit the number of jobs that access common resources such as databases in parallel.
- allow mutually exclusive access, i.e. making jobs wait (without consuming any CPU) for a lock to be released.
