Association between values and strings

[rafaelcosta]

Hey guys,

currently i am creating a script in powershell to get some important metrics for me and I having a little problem
when I get values from VBRSessionState, I see that I can use .ToString() to get the string value: Idle, Pausing, Resuming... and I can also use .value__ to get just numbers: -1,....

in my script I want to use just .value__ to help me in some other stuffs, but I wanted to know how I can associate each possible number of the .value__ to a value of the .ToString()
I just managed to associate the -1 because it was the current state: Stopped
in a job working I got value 5, so I suppose 5 is Working status

can someone help me?
i just want to figure out something like this

X -> Idle
X -> Pausing
X -> Postprocessing
X -> Resume
X -> Starting
-1 -> Stopped
X -> Stopping
X -> WaitingRepository
X -> WaitingTape
5 -> Working

Hi Rafael,

The mapping goes like this:

Stopped = -1,
Starting = 3,
Stopping = 4,
Working = 5,
Pausing = 6,
Resuming = 7,
WaitingTape = 8,
Idle = 9,
Postprocessing = 10,
WaitingRepository = 11

Note though that this mapping happens in the internal EState enum, so these integer values are not supported.
Please use with caution and be aware that they can change.

Best regards,
Oleg
