Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for determining a relative priority for a job. A 'policy' is selected based on the job itself and the reason that the job is being executed, where the policy includes a priority range for the job and for an application. A priority for the job that is within the priority range of the job as established by the selected policy is determined based on environmental and context considerations. This job priority is then adjusted based on the priority of the application (within the priority range as established by the policy) becoming the job's final priority. By formulating a priority that more accurately reflects the true priority or importance of the job by taking into consideration the environmental and context considerations, job managers will now be able to process these jobs in a more efficient manner.
