• To limit the number of processes that can start in parallel.
  • If that limit were reached then an additional job would be caused to wait for the process class to become available.
  • Jobs waiting for a process class to become available will not consume system resources such as CPU or memory.
• Example

  • Code Block
    language xml title Process class for Resource Contention Management collapse true
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <process_class max_processes="10"/>

Remote Execution

• To run a job on a remote JobScheduler Workload instance or Agent for remote execution
  • Process classes can reference remote JobScheduler instances for execution of a job:
    • At the time of job execution the initiating JobScheduler hands over the job configuration to the remote JobScheduler instances.
    • After completion of the job the initiating JobScheduler regains full control and would continue execution e.g. with the next job in a job chain.
• Example

  • Code Block
    language xml title Process class for Resource Contention Management collapse true
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <process_class max_processes="10" remote_scheduler="somehost:4444"/>

High Availability

• Process classes can be used as a means to implement high availability:

  • Display feature availability
    StartingFromRelease 1.8

  • A sequence of JobScheduler Agents can be specified that would be checked for availability by the initiating JobScheduler instance at run-time.
  • If a JobScheduler Agent were not avaiable then the next Agent would be selected for execution of a job.
• Example

  • Code Block
    language xml title Process class for Resource Contention Management collapse true
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <process_class max_processes="10"/><remote_schedulers ><remote_scheduler remote_scheduler="http://Andreas-MacBook-Pro.local:4445" http_heartbeat_timeout="15" http_heartbeat_period="10"/> <remote_scheduler remote_scheduler="http://localhost:4445" http_heartbeat_timeout="15" http_heartbeat_period="10"/> </remote_schedulers> </process_class>
