New-SCExternalJob

New-SCExternalJob

Creates a new external job in VMM.

Syntax

Parameter Set: Default
New-SCExternalJob [-Name] <String> [-OnBehalfOfUser <System.String> ] [-OnBehalfOfUserRole <Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.UserRole> ] [-ResultObject <ClientObject> ] [-VMMServer <ServerConnection> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The New-SCExternalJob cmdlet creates external jobs in Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).

External jobs add non-VMM jobs to the jobs view in the VMM console. These jobs are typically used to allow other applications integrating with VMM to serve status updates into the console so that users of the console can see the updates. For example, if you create an Add-in, you might use external jobs to provide the status of work completed on another system.

Examples

Example 1: Create an external job

The first command gets the virtual machine object named VM01, and then stores the object in the $VMMObject variable. The object in this command can be any VMM object for which you are creating a job.

The second command creates an external job named ExternalJob01 and relates the job to VM01 which is stored in $VMMObject.

PS C:\> $VMMObject = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01"
PS C:\> New-SCExternalJob -Name "ExternalJob01" -ResultObject $VMMObject
