        Create a protection job by explicitly constructing the protection job object,
        Construct the object as follows,
        $protectionJobObject = [Cohesity.Model.ProtectionJob]::new()
        $protectionJobObject.Name = "job-rds4"
        $protectionJobObject.Environment = [Cohesity.Model.ProtectionJob+EnvironmentEnum]::KRDSSnapshotManager
        $protectionJobObject.PolicyId = "6572875819740094:1631076508923:3"
        $protectionJobObject.viewBoxId = 4
        $protectionJobObject.parentSourceId = 731
        $sourceIds = New-Object Collections.Generic.List[long]
        $sourceIds.Add(4791)
        $protectionJobObject.sourceIds = $sourceIds
        $protectionJobObject.startTime = [Cohesity.Model.TimeOfDay]::new(13,52)
        $protectionJobObject.timezone = "America/Los_Angeles"
