CIM_Job class (Hyper-V management)

A logical element that represents a unit of work to execute, such as a script or a print job. A job is distinct from a process because a job can be scheduled or queued, and its execution is not limited to a single system.

Members

The CIM_Job class has these types of members:

• Methods
• Properties

Methods

The CIM_Job class has these methods.

Method	Description
KillJob	This method is deprecated. Instead, use the RequestStateChange method. Note: Deprecated description: Shuts down a job.

Properties

The CIM_Job class has these properties.

DeleteOnCompletion

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read/write

True to delete the job upon completion; otherwise, false.

Note

This property will not delete jobs that complete before this property is set to True.

ElapsedTime

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

The duration for which the job has run.

ErrorCode

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Job.ErrorDescription")

A vendor-specific error code that captures processing information for recurring jobs. The value must be set to zero if the job completed without error.

ErrorDescription

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Job.ErrorCode")

A free-form string that contains a description of the corresponding error code in the ErrorCode property.

JobRunTimes

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read/write

The number of times to run the job.

JobStatus

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus")

A free-form string that represents the status of the job.

LocalOrUtcTime

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read/write

Indicates whether the times in the RunStartInterval and UntilTime properties represent local times or UTC times.

Local Time (1)

UTC Time (2)

Notify

Data type: string

Access type: Read/write

The user to notify when a job completes or fails.

OtherRecoveryAction

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Job.RecoveryAction")

A string that describes the recovery action when the RecoveryAction property is Other ("1").

Owner

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_OwningJobElement.")

The user that submitted the Job, or the service or method name that requested the job.

PercentComplete

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Units ("Percent"), MinValue (0), MaxValue (101), PUnit ("percent")

The percentage of the job that is complete.

Note

The value "101" is undefined and will be not be allowed in the next major revision of the specification.

Priority

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read/write

The importance of the job. The lower the number, the higher the priority.

RecoveryAction

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Job.OtherRecoveryAction")

Describes the recovery action to take when a run job fails.

Unknown (0)

It is unknown as to what recovery action to take.

Other (1)

The recovery action will be specified in the OtherRecoveryAction property.

Do Not Continue (2)

Stop the execution of the job and appropriately update its status.

Continue With Next Job (3)

Continue with the next job in the queue.

Re-run Job (4)

The job should be re-run.

Run Recovery Job (5)

Run the Job associated using the RecoveryJob relationship. Note that the recovery Job must already be in the queue from which it will run.

RunDay

Data type: sint8

Access type: Read/write

Qualifiers: MinValue (-31), MaxValue (31), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Job.RunMonth", "CIM_Job.RunDayOfWeek", "CIM_Job.RunStartInterval")

An integer that is used on conjunction with the RunDayOfWeek property to indicate the day when the job is processed; or, if RunDayOfWeek is set to zero, RunDay indicates the day of the month when the job is processed. If RunDay is a negative integer, it specifies a day relative to the end of the month, or if RunDay is a positive integer, it specifies a day relative to the beginning of the month.

RunDayOfWeek

Data type: sint8

Access type: Read/write

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Job.RunMonth", "CIM_Job.RunDay", "CIM_Job.RunStartInterval")

An integer that is used on conjunction with the RunDay property to indicate the day when the job is processed; or, if RunDayOfWeek is set to zero, RunDay indicates the day of the month when the job is processed.

RunStartInterval

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read/write

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Job.RunMonth", "CIM_Job.RunDay", "CIM_Job.RunDayOfWeek", "CIM_Job.RunStartInterval")

The time interval after midnight when the job is be processed. For example, "00000000020000.000000:000" indicates that the job is be run on or after two o'clock local time, or UTC time (UTC is specified with the LocalOrUtcTime property).

ScheduledStartTime

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read/write

Qualifiers: Deprecated ("CIM_Job.RunMonth", "CIM_Job.RunDay", "CIM_Job.RunDayOfWeek", "CIM_Job.RunStartInterval")

Note

This property is deprecated. Instead we recommend that you use the RunMonth, RunDay, RunDayOfWeek, and RunStartInterval properties.

The time when the current job is scheduled to start. This time can be represented by a date and time, or an interval relative to the time when the property is requested. A value of all zeroes indicates that the job is already executing.

StartTime

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

The time when the job started. This time can be represented by a date and time, or by an interval relative to the time when the property is requested.
