What is the difference between "System Definition > Scheduled Jobs" vs. "System Scheduler > Scheduled Jobs"?  

Which one should I use?

Is there an equivalent functionality in "System Definition > Scheduled Jobs" to the "job context" element in   "System Scheduler > Scheduled Jobs"?

Here is some documentation on that.


System scheduler



The Scheduled Jobs module in System Definition is an admin-friendly front end for scheduling work. Use this module to create new scheduled jobs.


Basically, you want to use System Definition > Scheduled Jobs to create your scheduled jobs.
