)

Parameters

TaskName

Name of the geoprocessing task.

values

An array of values to use for executing the task.

Return Value

SubmitJob is used with asynchronous geoprocessing jobs. Asynchronous processing is advised when the geoprocessing task is expected to require an extended period to execute. If the geoprocessing task is completed in a short time, synchronous processing may be considered, which is performed by calling Execute instead of SubmitJob.

The return value from SubmitJob is a geoprocessing job ID, a unique string identifier for the particular task run. This ID may then be used to check the status of the job with GetJobStatus. Once that method indicates the task is finished, GetJobResult is used to retrieve the task result.

For a discussion of synchronous vs. asynchronous execution, see the topic GeoprocessingResource in the Developer Help (also available online at the ArcGIS Resource Center).
