Indicates that the job stopped in an unexpected way. The state and configuration of the job might require an update.

Dormant (15)

Indicates that the job is inactive.

Supporting Entity in Error (16)

Completed (17)

Indicates that the job has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded to indicate to a client whether the complete operation Completed with OK and passed, or completed with Error and failed, or completed with Degraded and finished the operation, but did not complete OK or did not report an error.
