Captionstring
DescriptionstringThe Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
MaxLenuint3264None None
DeleteOnCompletionboolean
DescriptionstringIndicates whether or not the job should be automatically deleted upon completion. Note that the 'completion' of a recurring job is defined by its JobRunTimes or UntilTime properties, OR when the Job is terminated by manual intervention. If this property is set to false and the job completes, then the extrinsic method DeleteInstance MUST be used to delete the job versus updating this property.None TRANSLATABLE= true
WritebooleantrueNone None
Descriptionstring
DescriptionstringThe Description property provides a textual description of the object.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ElapsedTimedatetime
DescriptionstringThe time interval that the Job has been executing or the total execution time if the Job is complete. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This is necessary to capture the processing information for recurring Jobs, since only the 'last' run time can be stored in this single-valued property.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ElementNamestring
DescriptionstringA user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name IN ADDITION TO its key properties/identity data, and description information. Note that ManagedSystemElement's Name property is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information MAY be present in both the Name and ElementName properties.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ErrorCodeuint16
DescriptionstringA vendor specific error code. This MUST be set to zero if the Job completed without error. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This is necessary to capture the processing information for recurring Jobs, since only the 'last' run error can be stored in this single-valued property.None TRANSLATABLE= true

ErrorDescriptionstring
DescriptionstringA free form string containing the vendor error description. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This is necessary to capture the processing information for recurring Jobs, since only the 'last' run error can be stored in this single-valued property.None TRANSLATABLE= true

InstallDatedatetime
DescriptionstringA datetime value indicating when the object was installed. A lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed.None TRANSLATABLE= true
MappingStringsstringMIF.DMTF|ComponentID|001.5None None
JobRunTimesuint32
DescriptionstringNumber of times that the Job should be run. A value of 1 indicates that the Job is NOT recurring, while any non-zero 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 that it is terminated either AFTER the UntilTime, or by manual intervention. By default, a Job is processed once.None TRANSLATABLE= true
WritebooleantrueNone None
JobStatusstring
DescriptionstringA free form string representing the Job's status. The primary status is reflected in the inherited OperationalStatus property. JobStatus provides additional, implementation-specific details.None TRANSLATABLE= true

Priorityuint32
DescriptionstringIndicates the urgency or importance of execution of the Job. The lower the number, the higher the priority. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This is necessary to capture the setting information that would influence a Job's results.None TRANSLATABLE= true
WritebooleantrueNone None
RecoveryActionuint16
DescriptionstringDescribes the recovery action to be taken for an unsuccessfully run Job. The possible values are: 0 = "Unknown", meaning it is unknown as to what recovery action to take 1 = "Other", indicating that the recovery action will be specified in the property, OtherRecoveryAction 2 = "Do Not Continue", meaning stop the execution of the job and appropriately update its status 3 = "Continue With Next Job", meaning continue with the next job in the queue 4 = "Re-run Job", indicating that the job should be re-run 5 = "Run Recovery Job", meaning run the Job associated using the RecoveryJob relationship. Note that the recovery Job MUST already be on the queue from which it will run.None TRANSLATABLE= true

RunDaysint8
DescriptionstringThe day in the month on which the Job should be processed. There are two different interpretations for this property, depending on the value of DayOfWeek. In one case, RunDay defines the day-in-month on which the Job is processed. This interpretation is used when the DayOfWeek is 0. A positive or negative integer indicates whether the RunDay should be calculated from the beginning or the end of the month. For example, 5 indicates the fifth day in RunMonth and -1 indicates the last day in the RunMonth. When RunDayOfWeek is not 0, RunDay is the day-in-month on which the Job is processed, defined in conjunction with RunDayOfWeek. For example, if RunDay is 15 and RunDayOfWeek is Saturday, then the Job is processed on the first Saturday on or AFTER the 15th day in the RunMonth (e.g., the third Saturday in the month). If RunDay is 20 and RunDayOfWeek is -Saturday, then this indicates the first Saturday on or BEFORE the 20th day in the RunMonth. If RunDay is -1 and RunDayOfWeek is -Sunday, then this indicates the last Sunday in the RunMonth.None TRANSLATABLE= true

RunDayOfWeeksint8
DescriptionstringPositive or negative integer used in conjunction with RunDay to indicate the day of the week on which the Job is processed. RunDayOfWeek is set to 0 to indicate an exact day of the month, such as March 1. A positive integer (representing Sunday, Monday, ..., Saturday) means that the day of week is found on or AFTER the specified RunDay. A negative integer (representing -Sunday, -Monday, ..., -Saturday) means that the day of week is found on or BEFORE the RunDay.None TRANSLATABLE= true

DescriptionstringThe time that the current Job is scheduled to start. This may be represented by the actual date and time, or an interval relative to the time that this property is requested. A value of all zeroes indicates that the Job is already executing. The property is deprecated in lieu of the more expressive scheduling properties, RunMonth, RunDay, RunDayOfWeek and RunStartInterval.None TRANSLATABLE= true
WritebooleantrueNone None
StartTimedatetime
DescriptionstringThe time that the Job was actually started. This may be represented by an actual date and time, or by an interval relative to the time that this property is requested. Note that this property is also present in the JobProcessingStatistics class. This is necessary to capture the processing information for recurring Jobs, since only the 'last' run time can be stored in this single-valued property.None TRANSLATABLE= true
Statusstring
DeprecatedstringCIM_ManagedSystemElement.OperationalStatusTOSUBCLASS= falseNone
DescriptionstringA 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 overcomes the limitation of describing status via a single value, when it is really a multi-valued property (for example, an element may be OK AND Stopped. 2) A MaxLen of 10 is too restrictive and leads to unclear enumerated values. And, 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.None TRANSLATABLE= true

TimeSubmitteddatetime
DescriptionstringThe time that the Job was submitted to execute. A value of all zeroes indicates that the owning element is not capable of reporting a date and time. Therefore, the ScheduledStartTime and StartTime are reported as intervals relative to the time their values are requested.None TRANSLATABLE= true
UntilTimedatetime
DescriptionstringThe time after which the Job is invalid or should be stopped. This may be represented by an actual date and time, or by an interval relative to the time that this property is requested. A value of all nines indicates that the Job can run indefinitely.None TRANSLATABLE= true
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_Job.LocalOrUtcTimeNone None
WritebooleantrueNone None
OperationalStatusuint16[]
ArrayTypestringIndexedNone OVERRIDABLE= false
DescriptionstringIndicates the current status(es) of the element. Various health and operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's values are self- explanatory. However, a few are not and are described in more detail. "Stressed" indicates that the element is functioning, but needs attention. Examples of "Stressed" states are overload, overheated, etc. "Predictive Failure" indicates that an element is functioning nominally but predicting a failure in the near future. "In Service" describes an element being configured, maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered. "No Contact" indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to establish communications with it. "Lost Communication" indicates that the ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable. "Stopped" and "Aborted" are similar, although the former implies a clean and orderly stop, while the latter implies an abrupt stop where the element's state and configuration may need to be updated. "Dormant" indicates that the element is inactive or quiesced. "Supporting Entity in Error" describes that this element may 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" indicates the element has completed its operation. This value should be combined with either OK, Error, or Degraded so that a client can till if the complete operation passed (Completed with OK), and failure (Completed with Error). Completed with Degraded would imply the operation finished, but did not complete OK or report an error. "Power Mode" indicates the element has additional power model information contained in the Associated PowerManagementService association. OperationalStatus replaces the Status property on ManagedSystemElement 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 since it required the DEPRECATED qualifier. Due to the widespread use of the existing Status property in management applications, it is strongly RECOMMENDED that providers/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 (since it is single-valued) SHOULD also provide the primary status of the element.None TRANSLATABLE= true
