Interface IJobSpec

All Superinterfaces:

IServerResource

All Known Implementing Classes:

JobSpec

public interface IJobSpec
extends IServerResource

Metadata definitions for jobs associated with a specific server. See the main Perforce documentation for the (voluminous) commentary on the various semantics and usage models for this information. In summary, every job is associated with a server-wide jobspec which details the various fields, values, etc. associated with the job; this information can be used to dynamically produce forms, display widgets, etc.

Job specs are complete and not refreshable, updateable, or completable. Setter methods below have only local effect.
