Every request you send to OpenCms is in a context - the file which was 
requests, the user, the site and many more.

#The CmsObject, which is the core API object you need to do anything in 
OpenCms needs such a request context to make all permission checks etc.

If you start a scheduled job, this one creates a CmsObject so that you 
can use the OpenCms API in your scheduled job.
As this CmsObject cannot be initialized with a real request (we do not 
have one when the job is started), we must create a dummy request 
context. And this one is initialized with those values you just 
mentioned above.

In most cases it is not required that you enter anything there, the ones 
you mostly use are the User, Project and sometimes the site root. 
Everything else can be used if you need this information for a custom 
build scheduled job.
