Error codes are non-distinct and the same codes can be reused by different functions.
Please use the LastError property to get the detailed error description. In this particular case the -3 error should have an error description like "Access denied! No permissions to view this job definition." This may happen for password-protected jobs having "full protection" or "execute only" protection levels. As for the MONTHLY_TYPE, I think you are correct , D is for "scheduled by number", T is for "scheduled by day name." GetJobPropertyEx is much more efficient when you need to retrieve several properties as it makes only one round trip to the server. If you need to retrieve only one property then there is no real difference. On the other hand, if you pull multiple properties at once then you need to do some parsing to break comma-separated list of returned values into individual values. In JavaScript this can be done using a single call to the split() function.
GetJobPropertyEx must return same values as GetJobProperty. I am not sure why you get different results. I highly recommend to upgrade from 3.4.6 to a more recent version. First of all because it provides better error descriptions and the internal COM API implementation is improved. Secondary, it includes 2 new COM interfaces, one for ASP pages using VBScript and another for JavaScript. They implement basically the same interface as the main COM API you are using now in VB but allow better support for environments not using strong data types (e.g. variants only) and and/or not supporting passing function arguments by reference. : I received a return code of -3, doing a GetJobProperty call (using the 24x7
: Remote Control COM+ Object)
: on the "Disabled" for a job. Do you have a list of possible error
: codes, not necessarily just for
: this function call. : Also, I'm retrieving the "MONTHLY_TYPE" property for jobs. There
: seems to be a discrepency according
: to the documentation. A monthly job scheduled to run on the first day of the
: month returns a
: MONTHLY_TYPE = "D", where the online help says it should return
: "T"
: Visa versa is true. A monthly job scheduled to run on a certain day of the
: week, returns a
: MONTHLY_TYPE = "T". I'm expecting MONTHLY_TYPE = "D"
: I get same results from the example VB Client you have posted on your
: website, as with my application.
: Can you verify? : Is the GetJobProperty function more "dynamic" then the
: "GetJobPropertyEx" function?
: To illustrate,
: 1. Assume the DISABLED property returns "Y" from both functions for
: a given job.
: 2. I call "SetJobProperty" and change the value for a job to
: "N"
: 3. I then do a "GetJobProperty" call and it returns "N"
: for the job. However, "GetJobPropertyEx" still returns
: "Y" : I'm running v3.4.6 on Windows 2000 Pro : Thanks,
