Setting job execution priority
All new jobs in Application Security are scheduled with priority set to Very Low. Multiple jobs that have the same priority are processed in the order in which they are added to the job queue. That is, the first job added to the queue is the first job processed. Jobs set with higher priority values are processed before those assigned lower priority.
As a Application Security Administrator or Security Lead, you can change the priority of scheduled jobs that are in the Prepared state. The possible job states are Prepared, Running, Finished, Failed, and Canceled.
To set the priority for a scheduled job:
- On the header, select Administration.
- On the navigation pane, select Metrics & Tracking, and then select Jobs.
On the Jobs toolbar, from the Filter by state list, select Prepared.
- Click to expand the row for the job you want to re-prioritize.
From the SET PRIORITY list, select a priority.
Changing job priority might affect other jobs in the queue. If the priority you set for a job potentially affects other jobs, a message informs you of the potential effect, and prompts you to confirm that you want to continue with the change.
To apply the priority change, click OK.
The jobs table now reflects the changed priority setting.
