JobName Property

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The JobName property is a string identifying a QL Server Agent job.

Syntax

object.JobName [=value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value
    A string naming an existing SQL Server Agent job

Data Type

String. The JobName property is constrained by the constraints applicable to the Name property of the Job object.

Modifiable

Read/write for the JobHistoryFilter object. Read-only for the Alert object.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetJobName(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetJobName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

Note

SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference by using SysFreeString.

Remarks

For the Alert object, the JobName property represents the name of the SQL Server Agent job run in response to the represented alert.

Setting the JobName property on the JobHistoryFilter object restricts the output of the EnumJobHistory method of the JobServer object. If used, the output includes only historical data for the named SQL Server Agent job.
