About job migration
Job migration refers to the process of moving a checkpointable or rerunnable job from one host to another. This
facilitates load balancing by moving jobs from a heavily-loaded host to a lightly-loaded host.
You can initiate job migration on demand (bmig) or automatically. To initiate job migration automatically, you
configure a migration threshold at the host or queue level.
