Parameters are defined in the Job Properties tab. There's no "difference", parameters are properties.

Not all properties are parameters, however. For example, the short description and before-job subroutine are properties, but can not be parameters.

Job parameters are properties of their job, one of many different kinds of property. Therefore, as Ken said, there is no difference.

The question is akin to "what is the difference between programmers and humans?". (Don't go there.)

Hi,

Parameters of a job can change at run time where as the Properties of a job cant change at run time.

There will be two sets:
1: Job level
2: Project level
