SPRunningJob class

A running job object is created for every instance of the job that is executing, at the rate of one per server.

Inheritance hierarchy

System.Object
  Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPRunningJob

Namespace:  Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration
Assembly:  Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, ObjectModel := True)> _
<SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel := True)> _
Public NotInheritable Class SPRunningJob
'Usage
Dim instance As SPRunningJob

[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
[SharePointPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, ObjectModel = true)]
public sealed class SPRunningJob

Remarks

If the running job is active on at least one server within the farm, it is marked as Active.

A one-time job that completes successfully is deleted from the table of running jobs. Its job definition is also deleted.

Examples

The following code example iterates through the services on a SharePoint Foundation farm to display information about each job that is currently running for each service. For SPRunningJob objects, all programmatic interaction is with properties; there are methods available in the SPRunningJobCollection object that allow the implementer to interact with a specific instance of a SPRunningJob object.

[C#]

SPFarm farm = SPFarm.Local.Farm;
SPServiceCollection services = SPFarm.Local.Services;
int rand_job;
Guid jobdefid;
SPRunningJob rj;
string servername;
string svc_name = string.Empty;
 foreach (SPService service in services) {
  SPRunningJobCollection runningJobs = service.RunningJobs;
  if (runningJobs.Count > 0) {
    if (svc_name == string.Empty) {
      svc_name = service.Name;
    }
    Console.WriteLine("****Job Collection Count is     " + runningJobs.Count);
    Console.WriteLine("****Job Collection Parent is    " + runningJobs.Parent);
    Console.WriteLine("****Job Collection Service is   " + runningJobs.Service);
    Console.WriteLine("****Job Collection Web App is   " + runningJobs.WebApplication);
    // For the GetInstance method, save off job information at random
    rand_job = runningJobs.Count / 2;
    Console.WriteLine("****Collection member " + rand_job + " is " + runningJobs[rand_job].JobDefinition);
    jobdefid = runningJobs[rand_job].JobDefinitionId;
    servername = runningJobs[rand_job].ServerName;

  }
  if (jobdefid != Guid.Empty) {
    // random jobdef from collection 
    // getinstance method
    rj = runningJobs.GetInstance(jobdefid, servername);
    Console.WriteLine("*@@* Job Definition is   " + rj.JobDefinition);
    Console.WriteLine("*@@* Job Id is           " + rj.JobDefinitionId);
    Console.WriteLine("*@@* Job Title is        " + rj.JobDefinitionTitle);
  }
