A parent job contains the whole file list and one or more child jobs. A child job is automatically launched for each host that contains SharePoint data. For example, assume that a SharePoint farm consists of four separate hosts. In this case, one parent job and four child jobs appear in the Activity Monitor. The front-end web server is listed as the client name for all jobs.
