This class represents a z/OS job. Jobs are associated with a subsystem, such as JES2, JES3, or MSTR. Some properties may require significant overhead, including I/O, to obtain their data. These properties are identified with the qualifier of "Expensive". To reduce system overhead, the provider will only return the values for these expensive properties if they are explicitly requested by name.

Subclasses are IBMzOS_JES2Job (see IBMzOS_JES2Job) and IBMzOS_JES3Job (see IBMzOS_JES3Job).
