hi,

The Publication Job Server processes requests that it receives from the CMC or InfoView and sends the requested objects or instances to the specified destination. If the request is for an object, the Publication Job Server retrieves the object from the Input File Repository Server. If the request is for a report or program instance, the Publication Job Server retrieves the instance from the Output File Repository Server. The Publication Job Server can send objects and instances to a destination inside the BusinessObjects Enterprise system, such as a useru2019s inbox. It can also send objects outside the system, via e-mail.

A Publication Job Server hosts the following services:

u2022 Destination Configuration Service

u2022 Web Intelligence Scheduling and Publishing Service

u2022 Replication Service

Publication Job server is used to process scheduled publications.

Destination Job server is used by other job servers when a scheduled object needs to be sent to a location like Inbox, email, FTP or file share.

Admin guide has more detailed descriptions.

Also , here on SDN you can find workflow diagrams that explain all typical workflows and which servers are involved.
