The highly-intensive processing object (HIPO)
HIPO job
A HIPO job is short for Highly Intensive Processing Object job.
HIPO jobs start every time a task performed by users result in operations flowing down through multiple objects to complete the action.
For example, cascading a Status change through all the children of a Site asset involves processing the Status change action on multiple assets.
The HIPO herder manages HIPO Jobs.
