Job Component

The job component is available in a number of platforms and can be used to execute specific cron tasks on a regular schedule. Examples are cassandra, es and many others. Typically it is configured as an optional component and can simply be activated by adding it with the + button in the component list.

You can locate defined jobs with a [search](../general/search.html] using a Class value of manifest.Job for configured jobs in the design phase or bom.Job for deployed jobs in the operation phase.
