Hi @AbhishekC1725: Please look [this](https://academy.pega.com/topic/background-processing/v6) and [this](https://academy.pega.com/topic/queue-processors-and-job-schedulers/v3) which will give you idea in Job schedulers and Queue processors.

In a high level, Job schedulers are good for recurring tasks. Queue processors accepts tasks to be queued to them for processing (lets assume you need to update a different external system asynchronously when a case is resolved where you can queue the items and the processing can be done in the background).

Thanks.
