what is the difference between queue and ready state in runscriptjob?

[reeba1]

Hello All,

I opened the workflow timer activity in scheduled job and changed the next action to after 5 minutes, The state changed from ready to queued. What does this mean? and what is the difference between ready, queued and running states?

Here goes how the documentation actually states it:

"After the offending jobs are cancelled, the scheduler picks up the next set of queued jobs, which should include any due or overdue WFTimer jobs that have been queued as Ready".

source: ServiceNow KB: Workflow Engine | How does a Workflow Timer help? (KB0647534)

Thanks,
