What is Active job ?
Active Job in salesforce is a scheduled job or any apex job which is running in our salesforce system.
Deployment with active jobs is a added to the Deployment Settings page in salesforce. Through this processes we can deploy components referenced by active Apex jobs in system. With this feature, we don’t have to stop Apex jobs to be able to have a successful deployment.
Previously, deployments failed if they contained components that were referenced by Apex jobs that were pending or in progress. For example, if you deploy an Apex class that implements Schedulable, and there is a scheduled job that corresponds to this class, this class can’t be deployed, and the entire deployment fails.
In winter 15 release, salesforce.com has added this feature to continue deployments when jobs are running in the production. So there is no need to stop schedule jobs to perform deployment when active jobs are running.
