Examples

Example 1: Set an external job to 15% complete

PS C:\> $ExternalJob = Get-SCJob -Name "ExternalJob01"
PS C:\> Set-SCExternalJob -Job $ExternalJob -ProgressValue 15

The first command gets the external job object named ExternalJob01 and stores the object in the $ExternalJob variable.

The second command sets the progress value for the job stored in $ExternalJob to 15.

Example 2: Set an external job to completed

PS C:\> $ExternalJob = Get-SCJob -Name "ExternalJob02"
PS C:\> Set-SCExternalJob -Job $ExternalJob -Completed -InfoMessage "Some information about the completed job"

The first command gets the external job object named ExternalJob02 and stores the object in the $ExternalJob variable.

The second command sets the status of the job stored in $ExternalJob to completed, and adds information about the job.

Example 3: Set an external job to failed

PS C:\> $ExternalJob = Get-SCJob -Name "ExternalJob03"
PS C:\> Set-SCExternalJob -Job $ExternalJob -Failed -InfoMessage "An error message for the failed job"

The first command gets the external job object named ExternalJob03 and stores the object in the $ExternalJob variable.

The second command sets the status of the job stored in $ExternalJob to failed, and adds information about the job.
