6.2.9 Setting the method for determining the agent host to which a job will be delivered

When a job (PC job, UNIX job, action job, or custom job other than a queueless job) is to be delivered to one of the agents, the system determines the destination agent based on priority and usage rate. However, if there are agents that have the same priority and usage rate, from a viewpoint of equally distributing the load, it is recommended to select the agent whose idle time is longest.

The following describes how to set the method for determining the agent host to which a job will be delivered.
