Usage

Syntax

'Declaration
Function CreateJobFromXmlFile ( _
    path As String _
) As IJob

IJob CreateJobFromXmlFile (
    string path
)

IJob^ CreateJobFromXmlFile (
    String^ path
)

IJob CreateJobFromXmlFile (
    String path
)

function CreateJobFromXmlFile (
    path : String
) : IJob

Parameters

path
The absolute path to the XML file that defines the job to create. The file name should include the .xml extension. If the job contains tasks, the tasks are also created. For information about writing the XML document, see Job Schema.

Return Value

An IJob interface that represents the job.

Remarks

The initial state of the job is NotSubmitted (see JobStatus). After creating the job, call the ICluster.AddJob method to add the job to the cluster. If the XML did not contain tasks, you can then call the ICluster.AddTask or ICluster.AddTasks method to add one or more tasks to the job. When the job is ready (you have added all the tasks and set all the job terms), call the ICluster.SubmitJob method to add the job to the scheduling queue.

To add and submit the job in one step, call the ICluster.QueueJob method. Before calling the QueueJob method, call the IJob.AddTask method to add tasks to the job.
