The name of the process class. Should this attribute be missing or empty ("") then the default process class will be changed.

See the process_class= attribute of the element.

Limits the number of processes.

Some operating systems limit the number of processes which the Job Scheduler can start. The number of processes configured here should not exceed the number allowed by the operating system. A value below 64 is usually safe.

For Microsoft Windows systems, the maximum number of processes that are allowed to be executed in parallel is currently 30.

Specifies the remote computer on which the tasks of this process class are to be executed. This computer is specified using its host name or IP number and TCP port (see ).

The remote computer must allow access with .

Tasks executed communicate with the controlling Job Scheduler via the API. However, the following points should be noted:

• within is executed by a task process. The file to be included is thereby read by the computer which carries out the task.
• The and methods do not work. The Job Scheduler cannot terminate remote subprocesses whose time limits have been exceeded.
• is, as with almost all methods, carried out on the computer on which the Job Scheduler is running and thereby accesses the files of its local file system.

Some settings are taken from the remote instead of from the controlling Job Scheduler:

replace="yes" replaces the existing process class.

replace="no" only changes the attributes which are set by the process class.
