schedule-priority

Description

The schedule-priority placeholder specifies a schedule priority for a backup or restore job. The priority for a job is a positive numeric value.

The foremost decision criteria that the scheduler uses to perform a job (after the earliest time to execute this job has arrived) is the schedule priority. The scheduler dispatches higher priority jobs over lower priority ones, providing all resources required to run the job are available. For example, if twenty jobs are in the scheduler and ready for execution, then Oracle Secure Backup executes the job with the lowest numeric schedule priority.
