Property Value

An Int32 value that specifies the ID value of the first job step in the sequence.

Remarks

Microsoft SQL Server Agent job steps are identified by a user-defined, integer value. If no value is specified when you use SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) to create a job, job steps are given an identifier value when the job is added to the Jobs collection of a JobServer object.

By default, the StartStepID value is the value of ID property of the JobStep at the first ordinal position of the JobSteps collection property of the Job object.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
