StepSubsystem Property (SQL-DMO)

The StepSubsystem property controls job enumeration methods, filtering for any jobs with any step defined to use the subsystem specified.

Applies To

JobFilter Object

Syntax

object.StepSubsystem [= value]

Part	Description
object	Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
value	String specifying a SQL Server Agent job step subsystem by name

Remarks

Most commonly, a job step will use either the ActiveScripting, CmdExec, or TSQL subsystem. Other job step subsystems exist. Job step subsystem names can be enumerated by using the EnumSubSystems method.

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetStepSubsystem(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);

HRESULT SetStepSubsystem(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);

Note SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference by using SysFreeString.
