The job agent runs things like index backups and scripts required to run Aiimi Insight Engine smoothly. It also runs the notification agent, recommendation engines and some machine learning services.
It can run customer specific logic either as an executable or a script. The script must be written in a language like Python or a Windows Power Shell script.
Jobs are scheduled to run using a CRON style syntax.
Unless the job agent is doing something computationally expensive, it will likely sit on the server with the other agents.
The following job types are available with the command job being suitable for running any executable or script. Further details on the types of job is available in the user and administration guide.
