Job [out]

May contain a reference to the CIM_ConcreteJob created to track the state transition initiated by the method invocation.

TimeoutPeriod [in]

A timeout period that specifies the maximum amount of time that the client expects the transition to the new state to take. The interval format must be used to specify the TimeoutPeriod. A value of 0 or a null parameter indicates that the client has no time requirements for the transition.

If this property does not contain 0 or null and the implementation does not support this parameter, a return code of 'Use Of Timeout Parameter Not Supported' shall be returned.

Return value

On success, returns 0; otherwise, returns an error.

Completed with No Error (0)
