title: In the context of SQL server agent, what is a job server?
body: <p>When you script a SQL agent job, there will be a sp_add_jobserver invocation in the script. I checked the documentation about this stored procedure but still can't understand what is a job server. As I understand, when you create a job, you are always create it on a specific server. Later you can run the job on that server. So why we need to use this stored procedure to combine a job to a server? </p>
