About Component Jobs

A component job is a request for one or more Siebel Server tasks to run. A component job is initiated by either the user or the system, and the Siebel Server runs one or more tasks to fulfill the component job. Component jobs can:

• Be scheduled
• Be repeated
• Use component job templates

Make sure that your Siebel Enterprise and Siebel Server configurations allow tasks to run for a server component.

If you are planning to regularly run component jobs with the same parameter values, then configure a component job template, which is a predefined component job.

Only batch-mode component tasks are started by running a component job. Background-mode components, such as Workflow Monitor Agent (alias WorkMon), are started by the Siebel Server when the component is started. The parameter Default Tasks (alias DfltTasks) defines the number of tasks started for the background-mode component. Background-mode component tasks can also be started by using the Server Manager command-line interface program.
