Concept Guide

• Reporting all Jobs — Report all jobs using a single command.

• Reporting scheduled Jobs — Generate a report of all scheduled jobs using a selection filter of JobStatus = Scheduled.

Job types

There are two types of jobs — system-created jobs (implicit) and user-created jobs (explicit).

• System-created jobs are created when you run specific Remote Services tasks. For example, Remote Services features such as export

hardware inventory, export license, create persistent storage partition, and so on create a job and return the job ID. Polling the job

status determines the completion status of the task.

• User-created jobs such as CreateTargetedConfigJob, CreateRebootJob, and InstallFromURI are used to apply user configurations for

RAID, NIC, BIOS, and so on. They can be scheduled to run immediately or at a scheduled time.

NOTE: If FIPS is enabled, you cannot perform any actions associated with the vFlash SD card, such as configuring the

vFlash SD card, exporting or backing up server profile to the vFlash, or importing server profile using vFlash.

System status

This feature is used to remotely obtain the overall Remote Services API status that includes real-time CEM status, the host system status,

and the remote service status. The overall status is displayed in the Status output parameter.

After the job is complete in Automated Task Application (previously SSM), the job status is immediately updated in the job store. The job is

immediately moved to the Completed state and synchronization starts. After the synchronization is successful, the system is in the Ready

state.
