Remarks

On success of a job step, SQL Server Agent can terminate the job (reporting success or failure) or, if the job has more than a single step, can attempt to execute the next step or another step in the job.

When using SQLDMOJobStepAction_GotoStep to direct execution to a specific step, set the OnSuccessStep property to identify the job step executed on success.
