Access type: Read/write
Specifies whether or not the job should be automatically deleted upon completion. Note that the completion of a recurring job is defined by its JobRunTimes or UntilTime properties, or by manual termination. If this property is set to FALSE before the job completes, setting it to TRUE after the job completes will not delete the job. Instead, to manually delete the job you must use the CimSession.DeleteInstance method.

Non-recoverable error (30)
The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost.
DMTF Reserved
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates values in the future.
InstallDate
-
Data type: datetime
-
Access type: Read-only
Indicates when the object was installed. The lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
InstanceID
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
Uniquely and opaquely identifies an instance of this class within the scope of the containing Namespace.
[!Important]
In order to ensure uniqueness within the Namespace, the value of InstanceID should be constructed in the following pattern:
OrgID:LocalID
OrgID must include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity defining the InstanceID, or be a registered ID that is assigned by a recognized global authority. This is similar to the structure of Schema class names. In addition, to ensure uniqueness the first colon in InstanceID must be between the OrgID andLocalID. Therefore the OrgID must not contain a colon (':').
LocalID is chosen by the business entity and should not be re-used to identify different underlying real-world elements.
If the preceding pattern is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resultant InstanceID is not re-used across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for this Namespace.
For Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) defined instances, the pattern must be used with the OrgID set to CIM.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.
JobRunTimes
-
Data type: uint32
-
Access type: Read/write
Specifies how many times the job should be run. A value of 1 indicates that the job is not recurring, while any nonzero value specifies a limit to the number of times that the job will recur. Zero specifies that there is no limit to the number of times that the job can be processed, in which case it is terminated either after the UntilTime or by manual intervention.
JobStatus
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus")
Contains a free-form string that represents the status of the job. The primary status is reflected in the OperationalStatus property. JobStatus provides additional, implementation-specific details.
LocalOrUtcTime
-
Data type: uint16
-
Access type: Read/write
Specifies whether the times represented in the RunStartInterval and UntilTime properties represent local times or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) times. Time values are synchronized worldwide by using the UTC Time enumeration value.
The possible values are.
Local Time (1)
UTC Time (2)
Name
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MaxLen (1024)

OperationalStatus
-
Data type: uint16 array
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ArrayType ("Indexed"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.StatusDescriptions")
Contains indicators of the current status of the element. The first value of OperationalStatus should contain the primary status for the element.
Note
OperationalStatus replaces the deprecated Status property. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, Microsoft strongly recommends that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and OperationalStatus properties. When instrumented, Status (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the element.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
Unknown (0)
Indicates the implementation cannot report on OperationalStatus at this time.
Other (1)
Indicates an undefined state.
OK (2)
Indicates full functionality without errors.
Degraded (3)
Indicates the element is working and all functionality is provided. However, the element is not working to the best of its abilities. For example, the element might not be operating at optimal performance or it might be reporting recoverable errors
Stressed (4)
Indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Overload and overheated are examples of Stressed states.
Predictive Failure (5)
Indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future.
Error (6)
Indicates that an error has occurred.
Non-Recoverable Error (7)
A nonrecoverable error has occurred.
Starting (8)
The job is starting.
Stopping (9)
The job is stopping.
Stopped (10)
The element has been intentionally stopped.
In Service (11)
Indicates the element is being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.
No Contact (12)
Indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.
Lost Communication (13)
Indicates that the job is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.
Aborted (14)
Indicates the job stopped in an unexpected way. The state and configuration of the job might need to be updated.
Dormant (15)
Indicates that the job is inactive.
Supporting Entity in Error (16)
Indicates that an element on which this job depends is in error. This element may be OK but is unable to function because of the state of a dependent element. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.
Completed (17)
Indicates that the job has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, ErrorError, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error).
Power Mode (18)
"Power Mode" indicates that the element has additional power model information contained in the associated PowerManagementService association.
DMTF Reserved
DMTF has reserved this portion of the range for additional OperationalStatus values in the future.

Access type: Read/write
-
Qualifiers: Deprecated ("CIM_Job.RunMonth", "CIM_Job.RunDay", "CIM_Job.RunDayOfWeek", "CIM_Job.RunStartInterval")
Specifies the time that the current job is scheduled to start. This time can be represented by the actual date and time, or an interval relative to the time that this property is requested. A value of all zeros indicates that the job is already executing. The property is deprecated. Instead, use the more expressive scheduling properties, RunMonth, RunDay, RunDayOfWeek, and RunStartInterval.
StartTime

StatusDescriptions
-
Data type: string array
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ArrayType ("Indexed"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus")
Indicates descriptions of the corresponding values in the OperationalStatus array. For example, if an element in the OperationalStatus property contains the value Stopping, then the element at the same array index in this property might contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped.
This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
TimeSubmitted
-
Data type: datetime
-
Access type: Read-only
Indicates the time that the job was submitted to execute. A value of all zeros indicates that the owning element is not capable of reporting a date and time. Therefore, the ScheduledStartTime and StartTime are reported as intervals relative to the time their values are requested.
UntilTime
-
Data type: datetime
-
Access type: Read/write
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Job.LocalOrUtcTime")
The time after which the Job is invalid or should be stopped. This time can be represented by an actual date and time, or by an interval relative to the time that this property is requested. A value of all nines indicates that the Job can run indefinitely.
