As we know, assistance requests are the highest level of dispatchable jobs.
However, there is prioritization within the assistance and priority 0 subsets [grouping of job type] which is helpful to understand.
Assistance requests with priority 0 have the highest dispatchability.
Next are assistance requests with less than priority 0.
Next are priority 0 jobs.
Last are all remaining pending jobs.
While we do not see a dispatch value [DV] within the dispatch monitor for assistance and priority 0 jobs these jobs always will have a DV.
The reason is because if there are numerous assistance jobs of priority 0, assistance jobs with less than priority 0, or priority 0 jobs, they are prioritized based on the DV.
Only when jobs within the same subset and have the same DV will the time the job became pending be used for prioritization.
