System status
This feature is used to remotely obtain the overall Remote Services API status that includes both the host
system status and as well as the remote services (Data Manager) status. The overall status is displayed in
the Status output parameter.
After the job is complete in Automated Task Application (previously SSM), the job status is immediately
updated in the job store. The job is immediately moved to the Completed state and synchronization
starts. After the synchronization is successful, the system is in the Ready state.
