How to execute Jobs and Job Chains with Agents

• A process class is assigned an Agent.
• A job chain is assigned a process class.
• A job is assigned a process class.

• A job chain can be configured to use a specific process class for subsequent job nodes. This enables a more flexible configuration than assigning the process class to a specific job that would be used for all jobs chains.
• Precedence of process class assignments in decreasing sequence:
  1. order
     • the assignment of an Agent process class is not supported (JS-1189)
     • the assginment of a remote JobScheduler instance is supported
  2. job chain
  3. job
