Background Jobs
ADSS Web RA allows you to create jobs that run in the background, i.e. asynchronously and without blocking the main application.
Background jobs are used to reduce the manual effort and to automate the process. They can run in the background without any user input and can be scheduled to run when the system load is low.
- Expand System > Background Jobs from the left menu.
