$ python ./redfish_SCP_get_job_status.py JID_967983367454
- Status code is: 200
- Job ID = JID_967983367454
- Name = Export: Server Configuration Profile
- Message = Successfully exported Server Configuration Profile
- JobStatus = Completed

Now we combine and enhance the scripts to perform the SCP export and await completion of the export job:
Script – redfish_SCP_export_cifs.v3.py version 3:
# Python script using Redfish API to perform iDRAC feature
# Server Configuration Profile (SCP) for export only
