Want to summarize with AI?

Explains how job manager enables scheduling, prioritizing, and managing background jobs in Cisco Crosswork Planning, including execution options and job control features.

A job manager is a background job management tool that

enables you to schedule tools and initializers to run as background jobs, also known as asynchronous jobs, and
offers options to execute jobs using CLI and custom scripts.

The asynchronous jobs execute in the background on design engine instances configured during deployment.

The Job manager provides these options for background jobs:

Set a priority before submission
Schedule jobs to run at a required time
Cancel jobs before they move to the Running state
