The software delivery functionality allows the user to prioritize software jobs to achieve a dynamic and quicker deployment of software packages, for example, patches, to end systems.
With this job prioritization feature, software packages are processed by their current priority rather than pushing them to systems in the order they were scheduled. The priority basically controls in which order jobs are built and executed; the higher the priority the more urgent the delivery.
The priority does not guarantee execution order. Even though jobs with higher priority are handled more often the original activation time is honored and a job of lower priority may be executed before jobs of higher priority, if the delivery process for the lower priority jobs has completed before the high priority job.
Priorities are set when setting up software policies or job containers (on the domain or enterprise manager) or distribution containers (on the enterprise manager). Priority 1 is the highest, 5 is the default, and 10 is the lowest priority.
