Members

The Msvm_StorageJob class has these types of members:

Methods

The Msvm_StorageJob class has these methods.

Method Description
GetError Retrieves the error that describes the reason why the job failed.
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 instances are returned.
KillJob This method is not supported.
RequestStateChange Requests a state change.

Properties

The Msvm_StorageJob class has these properties.

Cancellable

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

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

Child

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

On failure of the asynchronous operation, this property contains the full path of the child of the VHD being affected by this operation.

CommunicationStatus

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Indicates the ability of the instrumentation to communicate with the underlying managed element. A Null value indicates that this property is not implemented. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

DeleteOnCompletion

Data type: boolean

Access type: Read-only

Specifies whether the job should be automatically deleted upon completion. This property is inherited from CIM_Job.

Description

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

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

DetailedStatus

Data type: uint16

Complements the PrimaryStatus property with additional status detail. A Null value indicates that this property is not implemented. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

ElapsedTime

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

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 display name for the object. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

ErrorCode

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

A vendor-specific error code. The value must be set to zero if the job completed without error. This property is inherited from CIM_Job.

ErrorDescription

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

A string that contains the vendor error description. This property is inherited from CIM_Job.

ErrorSummaryDescription

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Job.ErrorCode")

A summary description of the error, if present. 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 nonfunctional. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement, and it is always set to 5.

InstallDate

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

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

Uniquely identifies an instance of this class. This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

JobCompletionStatusCode

Data type: UINT32

Access type: Read-only

The HRESULT code that describes the completion status for the asynchronous operation.

JobRunTimes

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

The number of times that the job should be run. A value of 1 indicates that the job is not recurring, while any nonzero value indicates a limit to the number of times that the job will recur. Zero indicates that there is no limit to the number of times that the job can be processed, but it will be terminated either after the UntilTime has been reached, or the job is manually terminated. This property is inherited from CIM_Job.

JobState

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

The operational state of a job. It can also indicate transitions between these states, for example, 6 (Shutting Down) and 3 (Starting). This property is inherited from CIM_ConcreteJob.

Value Meaning
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 it 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 only as a new job. The requirement that the job be restarted only as a new job is job specific.
Killed
9
The job has been stopped by a "Kill" state change request. Underlying processes may still be running, and a clean-up might be required to free up resources.
Exception
10
The job is in an abnormal state that might be indicative of an error condition. The actual status of the job might be available through job-specific objects.
Service
11
The job is in a vendor-specific state that supports problem discovery, or resolution, or both.

RunDay

Data type: sint8

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MinValue ( -31 ), MaxValue ( 31 )

The day of the month on which the job should be processed. There are different interpretations for this property, depending on the value of RunDayOfWeek.

When RunDayOfWeek is 0 and RunDay is positive, RunDay defines the day of the month on which the job is processed. For example, if RunDayOfWeek is 0 and RunDay is 12, then the job will be processed on the 12th day of the month.

When RunDayOfWeek is 0 and RunDay is negative, RunDay defines the number of days before the last day of the month on which the job is processed. 1 indicates the last day of the month, 2 indicates one day before the last day of the month, and so on. For example, if RunDayOfWeek is 0 and RunDay is 1, then the job will be processed on the last day of the month.

When RunDayOfWeek is not 0, RunDayOfWeek is the day of the week that the job will be processed, relative to RunDay. For example, if RunDay is 15 and RunDayOfWeek is 7 (+Saturday), the job will be processed on the first Saturday on or after the 15th day of the month. If RunDay is 20 and RunDayOfWeek is 7 ( Saturday), the job will be processed on the first Saturday on or before the 20th day of the month. If RunDay is 1 and RunDayOfWeek is 1 ( Sunday), then the job will be processed on the last Sunday of the month.

This property is inherited from CIM_Job.
