Abstract

Aspects of the current subject matter can provide a background job repository that stores a background job template specifying a background job comprising a maintenance task that affects a customized software platform. The background job template can also include metadata defining a purpose of the background job, triggering information indicating when the background job should be executed, and a prerequisite feature of the customized software platform that indicates a need for the background job in the customized software platform. A previous set of background jobs that run in the customized software platform can be updated to a current set by comparing the previous set with the background job template and including the background job in the current set of background jobs when the customized software platform includes the prerequisite feature.
