You can reserve any number of background processing work processes to be kept free for high-priority, or class A, jobs. Reserving work processes for class A jobs does not
reserve any particular work process in a server for class A jobs, but rather makes sure a certain number of work processes is free at all times. To set the number of class A
background work processes, you'll need to set the work process distribution and assign each work process to an operation mode.
For more information, see Prioritization Strategies for Class A Jobs.
Procedure
To set the number of work processes to keep free for high-priority jobs in the definition of an instance (SAP application server):
0
The default number. Use this value if you do not have mission- or system-critical class A jobs that must always start immediately when they become eligible to start. In this
case, jobs are simply run according to their priority, or "class". Work processes are not kept free for class A jobs.
1 or more
Use this value to guarantee that mission- or system-critical jobs start immediately once they become eligible to start. One background processing work process will always
be kept free for class A jobs, ensuring no class A job has to wait for a free background work process.
To keep background work processes available for jobs that aren't class A, be sure that the number of class A work processes is less than the total number of background work
processes in an application server. Otherwise, only class A jobs will be eligible to run on that server.

an SAP server offers 4 background work processes and the class A reservation for the server is set to 4, only class A jobs can start at that server.
