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.
