Remarks

You can balance the load of your scheduling by choosing from one of three options:

• Use the first available server. The Automated Processing Scheduler (APS) will check the job servers to see which one has the lowest load. The APS does this by checking the percentage of the maximum load on each job server. If all of the job servers have the same load percentage, then the APS will randomly pick a job server. This is the default setting.
• Attempt to use the servers belonging to a selected server group first, and if these servers are not available, use any available server.
• Use only servers that belong to a specific server group.

Use the ServerGroup Property to select the server group that will be used in the last two options.
