The scheduler can run jobs in accordance with specific time or period. There are two key things of scheduler: schedule and job handler. Those can be bound by “one to many” relation. Schedule describes a specific handler call time while the handler may be used in many schedules. So you can use one job handler in different schedules.

Job handlers relate with a specific context of job handling, which contain information about schedule, handler fire time, the previous and the next fire time, additionally it may contain extra data defined by developer. Processing context is specified as job or job instance. Each job handling is executed in background thread.
