Using the VirtualGuestJob section

Through the VirtualGuestJob section in the Virtual Guest Job (VGJ) XML file, you can specify the following job settings:

• JobName — Fill in a descriptive JobName for the Virtual Guest Job (VGJ) you are creating.

• JobFolderID — You need to specify the ID of the job folder in which you want to store this job. To get the JobFolderID: 

  JobGroup groupNameToId /myFolderInTheJobWorkspace
  200001

   
  In this example, the ID that is returned is 200001.

• VirtualGuestDestination — The VirtualGuestDestination specifies where you want to store the new virtual guest. This value varies depending on your environment. For more information, see Getting the VirtualGuestDestination.
• ExecuteNow — Set this to true if you want to run the VGJ immediately. Set this to false if you want to run the job at some other time.

  • If you set this to true (when you create the VGJ by running the createVirtualGuest command), the command returns the following message: 

    virtual guest Job running and the job DB Key is <JobDBKey>

  • If you set this to false (when you create the VGJ by running the createVirtualGuest command), the command returns the following message: 

    Job is created and will execute by users request with Job DB Key <JobDBKey>

     

    Warning

    Note

    You can use this DBKey to manipulate and execute the job by using the commands in the Job namespace.
