Msvm_ConcreteJob class

A concrete version of job. This class represents a generic and instantiable unit of work, such as a batch or a print job and is specifically used in Hyper-V to track the progress of asynchronous operations.

The following syntax is simplified Managed Object Format (MOF) code, and it includes all of the inherited properties.

Members

The Msvm_ConcreteJob class has these types of members:

Methods

The Msvm_ConcreteJob class has these methods.

Method Description
GetError When the job is executing or has terminated without error, then this method returns no CIM_Error instance. However, if the job has failed because of some internal problem or because the job has been terminated by a client, then a CIM_Error instance is returned.
GetErrorEx When the job is executing or has terminated without error, then this method returns no Msvm_Error instance. However, if the job has failed because of some internal problem or because the job has been terminated by a client, then one or more Msvm_Error instance is returned.
KillJob This method is not supported.
RequestStateChange Requests that the state of the job be changed to the value specified in the RequestedState parameter. Invoking the RequestStateChange method multiple times could result in earlier requests being overwritten or lost. If 0 is returned, then the task completed successfully. Any other return code indicates an error condition.

Properties

The Msvm_ConcreteJob class has these properties.

Cancellable

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

Indicates whether the job can be canceled. The value of this property does not guarantee that a request to cancel the job will succeed.

Caption

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (64)

A short textual description (one-line string) of the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

DeleteOnCompletion

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read/write

This property is inherited from CIM_Job.

Description

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

A textual description of the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

ElapsedTime

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: SubType ("Interval")

The length of time that the job has been executing. This property is inherited from CIM_Job.

ElementName

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

A user-friendly name for the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

ErrorCode

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Job.ErrorDescription")

This property is inherited from CIM_Job.

ErrorDescription

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Job.ErrorCode")

This property is inherited from CIM_Job.

ErrorSummaryDescription

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Job.ErrorCode")

This property is inherited from CIM_Job.

HealthState

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

The current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents. The possible values are 0 to 30, where 5 means the element is entirely healthy and 30 means the element is completely non-functional. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement and it is always set to 5.

OK (5)

The element is fully functional and operates within normal operational parameters and without error.

InstallDate

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("MIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5")

The date and time the virtual machine configuration was created. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

InstanceID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Key

Within the scope of the instantiating namespace, the InstanceID property opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. To ensure uniqueness within the namespace, the value of the InstanceID property should be constructed by using the following preferred algorithm: "OrgID:LocalID" where OrgID and LocalID are separated by a colon (:), and where OrgID must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID, or that is a registered ID that is assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the SchemaName_ClassName structure of schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness, OrgID must not contain a colon. When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID must appear between OrgID and LocalID. LocalID is chosen by the business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above preferred algorithm is not used, the defining entity must ensure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the namespace of this instance. For Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) defined instances, the preferred algorithm must be used with the OrgID set to "CIM". This property is inherited from CIM_ConcreteJob.

JobRunTimes

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read/write

This property is inherited from CIM_Job.

The possible values are.

(0)

Repeat the job until the time specified by the UntilTime property or until it is manually shut down.

(1)

Run the job once. This is the default value.

Run the job for the specified number of times.

JobState

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers:

JobState is an integer enumeration that indicates the operational state of a job. It can also indicate transitions between these states, for example, "Shutting Down" and "Starting". This property is inherited from CIM_ConcreteJob.

The possible values are.

New (2)

The job has never been started.

Starting (3)

The job is moving from the New, Suspended, or Service states into the Running state.

Running (4)

The Job is running.

Suspended (5)

The Job is stopped, but can be restarted in a seamless manner.

Shutting Down (6)

The job is moving to a Completed, Terminated, or Killed state.

Completed (7)

The job has completed normally.

Terminated (8)

The job has been stopped by a Terminate state change request. The job and all its underlying processes are ended and can be restarted (this is job-specific) only as a new job.

Killed (9)

The job has been stopped by a Kill state change request. Underlying processes might have been left running, and cleanup might be required to free up resources.

Exception (10)

The Job is in an abnormal state that might be indicative of an error condition. Actual status might be displayed though job-specific objects.

Service (11)

The Job is in a vendor-specific state that supports problem discovery, or resolution, or both.

Query Pending (12)

The Job is waiting for a client to resolve a query.
