IJob (p4java 2024.1.2612262 API)

All Superinterfaces:

IServerResource

All Known Implementing Classes:

Job
```
public interface IJob
extends IServerResource
```
The minimal Perforce job interface. The format and semantics of Perforce jobs can vary greatly between servers and installations, and are described fully by an associated IJobSpec interface, which should be used to fully interpret and work with jobs for a specific server. This particular interface (IJob) is really intended to let a consumer get a summary list only; further details may need to be retrieved from the jobspec and associated elements and interfaces.
Note that what constitutes the job ID and description may not always even be accurate, as it's intuited under the covers using a few shopworn rules of thumb. In any case, the list is returned in the order returned from the Perforce server, and the raw fields map is assumed to contain authoritative field values.
IJob objects are currently always complete, are updateable, but not refreshable. Setter methods below will not affect the corresponding job on the Perforce server unless an update is performed.

    use the IServerResource update method instead if possible.
    
    Update the underlying Perforce job associated with this object in the Perforce server.

    Returns:
    
    possibly-null Perforce server-generated status resulting from operation.
    
    Throws:
    
    ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.
    
    RequestException - if the Perforce server encounters an error during its processing of the request
    
    AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller
