public final function ModifyJobTerm (
    jobId : int, 
    termName : String,

Parameters

jobId
The job identifier. The Cluster.AddJob method returns this value. If you have a job object that has already been added to the cluster, you can access the Job.Id property to get the identifier.

termName
The name of the job term. The name is case sensitive. For a list of possible terms, see Remarks.

termValue
The value of the job term.

Remarks

The following is the list of job terms that you can modify.

Job term	Description
AskedNodes	A comma-delimited list of nodes that your job requires. The node must exist in the cluster.
IsExclusive	Indicates whether nodes are exclusively allocated to a job. The default is True.
Name	The display name for the job.
SoftwareLicense	The required license features. The format is string:integer{,string:integer}.
MaximumNumberOfProcessors	The maximum number of processors to be reserved for the job. The default is 1.
MinimumNumberOfProcessors	The minimum number of processors to be reserved for the job. The default is 1.
Priority	The priority of the job relative to other jobs in the queue. Possible values are: Highest, AboveNormal, Normal, BelowNormal, and Lowest. The default value is Normal.
Project	The project name that is associated with the job for accounting purposes.
RunUntilCanceled	Indicates whether the resources allocated to a job are reserved until the job is canceled (even if the job has no active tasks). The default is False.
Runtime	The run-time limit for the job. Can be Infinite or a string in the format dd:hh:mm.

If you specify a term that is not in the list, the method searches for a matching extended term (see the Job.SetExtendedJobTerm property). If the extended term is found, its value is updated; otherwise, the job term is added to the list of extended terms for the job. The names of extended terms are case insensitive.

To modify all the properties of a job, call the Cluster.ModifyJob method.

This method updates the job on the cluster. If you have an instance of the job object at the time you called this method, the instance will not reflect the update. You will need to retrieve a new instance of the job object to see the change.
