HRESULT SetOnSuccessAction(

| Constant | Value | Description |
| SQLDMOJobStepAction_GotoStep | 4 | Continue execution at the next identified step. |
| SQLDMOJobStepAction_GotoNextStep | 3 | Continue execution at the next sequential step. |
| SQLDMOJobStepAction_QuitWithFailure | 2 | Terminate job execution, reporting failure. |
| SQLDMOJobStepAction_QuitWithSuccess | 1 | Terminate job execution, reporting success. |
| SQLDMOJobStepAction_Unknown | 0 | Job step logic is unassigned for the referenced job step. |
On success of a job step, SQL Server Agent can terminate the job (reporting success or failure) or, if the job has more than a single step, can attempt to execute the next step or another step in the job.
When using SQLDMOJobStepAction_GotoStep to direct execution to a specific step, set the OnSuccessStep property to identify the job step executed on success.
