Job chain with job node process classes

Current Situation

• A process class is assigned to a job.
  • The job will use the same process class independent from the job chain that is is used for.
  • Jobs cannot be re-used with different process classes.
• A job chain is assigned a default process class for all job nodes.
  • The behavior of the default process is described in JS-1301.
• The assignment of a process class to an order as stated in JS-1189

Desired Behavior

• Each job node can be assigned a process class.
• This setting overrides the default process class as introduced with JS-1301
• This setting will be overruled by an order that is configured for a specific process class with JS-1189
• The assignment of a process class to a job will become deprecated when introducing this feature as this would introduce unwanted complexity. Using process classes with job nodes is more flexible and a perfect replacement for process classes with jobs.

Maintainer Notes

• This feature is dismissed as the functionality is not sufficiently different from the current behavior.
• Future releases 2.0 of the Master will work differently when it comes to Agent assignments as they will use a job net. Therefore we will not focus on providing this functionality to a Master for a limited time (release 1.12 will be the last minor release before the major release 2.0).
