and NO PRTY are submitted ? which will run first ? & with
different classes and different PRTY also, which will run
first now ?
Answer Posted / archana
Class is used by the initiators to pick a job from the
input queue. If there are 2 jobs with the same Class in the
input queue, then the initiator will execute the jobs based
on the priority.
