CIM_Job class

A logical element that represents a unit of work to execute, such as a script or a print job. A job is distinct from a process because a job can be scheduled or queued, and its execution is not limited to a single system.

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

ElapsedTime

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

The duration for which the job has run.

The element has completely failed, and recovery is not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost.

DMTF Reserved

DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates in the future.

InstallDate

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

A datetime value that indicates when the object was installed. Lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

InstanceID

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Uniquely and opaquely identifies an instance of this class within the scope of the containing namespace.

[!Important]

In order to ensure uniqueness within the namespace, the value of the InstanceID property should be constructed in the following pattern: OrgID:LocalID

OrgID must include a copyrighted, trademarked or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that defines the InstanceID, or be a registered ID that is assigned by a recognized global authority. This pattern is similar to the structure of schema class names. In addition, to ensure uniqueness, the first colon in InstanceID must be between the OrgID andLocalID. Therefore the OrgID must not contain a colon (':').

LocalID is chosen by the business entity and should not be re-used to identify different underlying real-world elements.

If the above pattern is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resultant InstanceID value is not re-used across any InstanceID properties that are produced by this provider or other providers for this namespace.

For Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) defined instances, the pattern must be used with the OrgID set to CIM.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedElement.

JobRunTimes

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read/write

The number of times to run the 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.

2 ...

Run the job for the specified number of times.

JobStatus

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus")

A free-form string that represents the status of the job.

LocalOrUtcTime

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read/write

Indicates whether the times in the RunStartInterval and UntilTime properties represent local times or UTC times.

The possible values are:

Local Time (1)

Local time.

UTC Time (2)

UTC time.

Name

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: MaxLen (1024)

The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Notify

Data type: string

Access type: Read/write

The user to notify when a job completes or fails.

OperatingStatus

Data type: uint16

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.EnabledState")

Provides a current status value for the operational condition of the element and can be used for providing more detail with respect to the value of EnabledState. It can also provide the transitional states when an element is transitioning from one state to another, such as when an element is transitioning between EnabledState and RequestedState, as well as other transitional conditions.

A Null return indicates the implementation (provider) does not implement this property.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Unknown (0)

The implementation (ie, the provider) is in general capable of returning this property, but is unable to do so at this time.

Not Available (1)

The implementation (provider) is capable of returning a value for this property, but not ever for this particular piece of hardware/software or the property is intentionally not used because it adds no meaningful information (as in the case of a property that is intended to add additional info to another property)

Servicing (2)

An element is being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.

Starting (3)

The element is being initialized.

Stopping (4)

An element is being brought to an orderly stop.

Stopped (5)

A clean and orderly stop has occurred.

Aborted (6)

An abrupt stop, where the state and configuration of the element might need to be updated, has occurred.

Dormant (7)

The element is inactive or quiesced.

Completed (8)

The element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded in the PrimaryStatus so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error).

Migrating (9)

The element is being moved between host elements.

Emigrating (10)

The element is being moved away from host element.

Immigrating (11)

The element is being moved to new host element.

In Service (16)

The element is in service and operational.

DMTF Reserved

Vendor Reserved

OperationalStatus

Data type: uint16 array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ArrayType ("Indexed"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.StatusDescriptions")

Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various operational statuses are defined.

OperationalStatus replaces the Status property to provide a consistent approach to enumerations, to address implementation needs for an array property, and to provide a migration path from today's environment to the future. This change was not made earlier because it required the deprecated qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly recommended that providers or instrumentation provide both the Status and OperationalStatus properties. Further, the first value of OperationalStatus should contain the primary status for the element. When instrumented, Status (because it is single-valued) should also provide the primary status of the element.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

Unknown (0)

Other (1)

OK (2)

Degraded (3)

Stressed (4)

The element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, and so on.

Error (6)

Non-Recoverable Error (7)

Starting (8)

Stopping (9)

Stopped (10)

A clean and orderly stop has occurred.

In Service (11)

An element is being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.

No Contact (12)

The monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it.

Lost Communication (13)

The managed system element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.

Aborted (14)

An abrupt stop, where the state and configuration of the element might need to be updated, has occurred.

Dormant (15)

The element is inactive or quiesced.

Supporting Entity in Error (16)

This element might be "OK" but that another element, on which it is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service or endpoint that cannot function due to lower-layer networking problems.

Completed (17)

The element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can tell if the complete operation Completed with OK (passed), Completed with Error (failed), or Completed with Degraded (the operation finished, but it did not complete OK or did not report an error).

Power Mode (18)

The element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association.

The time interval after midnight when the job is be processed. For example, "00000000020000.000000:000" indicates that the job is be run on or after two o'clock local time, or UTC time (UTC is specified with the LocalOrUtcTime property).

ScheduledStartTime

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read/write

Qualifiers: Deprecated ("CIM_Job.RunMonth", "CIM_Job.RunDay", "CIM_Job.RunDayOfWeek", "CIM_Job.RunStartInterval")

Note

This property is deprecated. Instead we recommend that you use the RunMonth, RunDay, RunDayOfWeek, and RunStartInterval properties.

The time when the current job is scheduled to start. This time can be represented by a date and time, or an interval relative to the time when the property is requested. A value of all zeroes indicates that the job is already executing.

StartTime

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

The time when the job started. This time can be represented by a date and time, or by an interval relative to the time when the property is requested.

Status

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Deprecated ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus"), MaxLen (10)

A string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses are defined. This property is deprecated in lieu of OperationalStatus, which includes the same semantics in its enumeration. This change is made for 3 reasons:

  1. Status is more correctly defined as an array. This definition overcomes the limitation of describing status using a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element might be OK AND Stopped.

  2. A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values.

  3. The change to a uint16 data type was discussed when CIM V2.0 was defined. However, existing V1.0 implementations used the string property and did not want to modify their code. Therefore, Status was grandfathered into the Schema. Use of the deprecated qualifier allows the maintenance of the existing property, but also permits an improved definition using OperationalStatus.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

("OK")

("Error")

("Degraded")

("Unknown")

("Pred Fail")

("Starting")

("Stopping")

("Service")

("Stressed")

("NonRecover")

("Lost Comm")

("Stopped")

StatusDescriptions

Data type: string array

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: ArrayType ("Indexed"), ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatus")

Strings describing the various OperationalStatus array values. For example, if "Stopping" is the value assigned to OperationalStatus, then this property may contain an explanation as to why an object is being stopped. Note that entries in this array are correlated with those at the same array index in OperationalStatus.

This property is inherited from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.

TimeSubmitted

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read-only

The time when the job was submitted. A value of all zeroes indicates that the parent element is not capable of reporting a date and time.

UntilTime

Data type: datetime

Access type: Read/write

Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_Job.LocalOrUtcTime")

The time after which the job becomes invalid or should be stopped. The time can be represented by a date and time, or by an interval relative to the time when this property is requested. A value of all nines indicates that the job can run indefinitely.
