We are using the API to check the status of a job. However sometimes the job status reported via API is stale (i.e. "Running") when in fact the job is idle (as reported through VC Client).

Is there an API function to force a refresh to the JobClass object? Any ideas why this would occur?


var conn = new VisualCronAPI.Connection();
var vcServer = vcClient.Connect(conn, true);
var myJob = vcServer.Jobs.Get("test");

if(myJob.Stats.Active && myJob.Stats.Status == VisualCron.JobStatsClass.StatusT.Waiting) {
    //run job
}

Not sure why this happens for you but you can debug this by adding a handler for event:

Jobs.JobStatsUpdatedStatic

If you subscribe to this even you can log each time status changes and maybe that can provide some more insight.

In the VisualCron Client, how often do you get the VisualCron.JobClass from the server? In my application, during the initialization, I call "vcServer.Jobs.Get(..)" one time and hold the reference to object throughout life cycle of service.

Would calling Jobs.Get(...) every time help refresh the JobClass.Stats in the JobClass object?

We refresh the object when we receive Job updates (status or whole updates).
