Remarks
Schedule or run an IJobChunk job inside the SystemBase.OnUpdate function of a SystemBase implementation. When the system schedules or runs an IJobChunk job, it uses the specified EntityQuery to select a set of chunks. The entities in each chunk are examined to determine which have the necessary components enabled, according to the EntityQuery provided at schedule time. The job struct's function is called for each chunk, along with a bitmask indicating which entities in the chunk should be processed.
ExecuteTo pass data to your Execute function (beyond the parameters), add public fields to the IJobChunk struct declaration and set those fields immediately before scheduling the job. You must always pass the component type information for any components that the job reads or writes using a field of type, ComponentTypeHandle<T>. Get this type information by calling the appropriate ComponentSystemBase.GetComponentTypeHandle function for the type of component.
