Schedule Background Job for Event Queue

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Robert,
There is a whole section on event queues in the book.
 
Basically you use them to:
* Smooth out performance for high volume event linkages
* Redeliver failed event linkages - on request
 
So the job delivers event linkages.
 
If you aren't using the event queue you don't need to schedule
the job.  HOWEVER, I would VERY VERY STRONGLY recommend you
at least make sure you use the event queue to capture failed
event linkages as although these rarely fail, when they do
it can be pretty spectacular (particularly for high volume events)
and horrendously difficult to recover from if failed linkages
have not been captured by the event queue.
 
If you just want to use the job to redeliver failed event linkages
and don't have any high volume event scenarios
you don't need to schedule the job unless and until you want to use it.
The capture of failed event linkages is not controlled by the job.

Dear all,
 
 
 
Can anyone exactly tell me what this Job does? I believe it refreshes
the Event Queus??
 
 
 
What would happen when we haven't scheduled this Job??
 
 
 
Thanks,
