SAP Job Class

SAP ranks job priority by assigning jobs to one of three job classes, A, B or C.

Note: The “A” job class has the highest priority and the “C” class, the lowest priority.

SAP job class is different from the job class used in TA . Job classes in TA are used to organize and group jobs into categories. Job classes can be used in a queue’s filter to ensure that only jobs belonging to that class will run in that queue. This lets you control how jobs of a certain class run. You can also associate job events to a designated job class so that those job events will apply to all members of the job class.

You can assign a designated job class to all SAP jobs created by TA that are launched from a particular queue.

Note: Jobs created within SAP maintain their original job class designation.

The SAP job class is configured from the Bumping tab of the Queue Definition dialog.

When released, SAP jobs will be assigned Job Class Depending on the queue association. Default Job Class value for all predefined Queues is C.

The Edit Native Priority function in the Queues category of a user’s security policy must be enabled before the user can configure the SAP job class setting.
