job resource

Use the

job

resource to start a

file ingestion and replication

job. You can also use the

job

resource to retrieve job status or job logs for a

file ingestion and replication

task. Use the

file ingestion and replication

REST API version 1 task resource to retrieve the ID and name of the task.

RUN Request

To start a

file ingestion and replication

task job, use the following URI:

mftsaas/api/v1/job

Include the following information in the request:

Field	Type	Required	Description
taskId	String	Yes	File ingestion and replication ID.
taskName	String	-	File ingestion and replication name.

Use the following source directory and target directory keys for the specified connectors when you start a

file ingestion and replication

job:

Connector	srcDir	tgtDir
local	sourceDirectory	targetDirectory
ftp,ftps,sftp	sourceDirectory	targetDirectory
gcs	sourceDirectory	gcsTargetLocation
hdfs	sourceDirectory	hdfsTargetLocation
adlsgen2	sourceDirectory	adlsGen2TargetLocation
s3	s3SourceLocation	s3TargetLocation
blob	blobSourceLocation	blobContainer

You can overwrite the following parameters using the job resource REST API:

Category	Parameter	ID
General	Source Connection	sourceConnection
General	Target Connection	targetConnection
General	Parallel Batch Log Level	parallelBatch
General	Log Level	logLevel
Source	Source Directory	sourceDirectory
Source	File Pattern	filePattern
Source	Batch Size	batchSize
Source	Include files from sub-folders	includeSubfolder
Source	Skip Duplicate files	checkDuplicate
Source	Check File Stability	fileStability
Source	Stability Check Interval	stabilityCheckInterval
Target	Target Directory	targetDirectory

You must pass the connection ID to overwrite the source and target connection parameters.

Use the following sample as a reference to start a

file ingestion and replication

task job:

{
        "taskId": "k1YHA1blhcBjbJvCIRQX2s",
        "taskName": "localtolocal_param2"
}

Use the following sample request to overwrite the source option values that were passed in the user interface:

"variables": [{
        "variable": "<string>",
        "value": "<string>"
    }]

In the following example, the parameter value that were passed in the user interface is overwritten to corresponding values provided in JSON POST while using the job resource REST API:

{
    "taskId": "0efdVUEZeV2cB0quomeksd",
    "taskName": "localtolocal_param2",
    "parameters": {
        "category": [{

                "id": "General",

                "parameter": [

                    {

                        "id":"sourceConnection",

                        "value":"AdvancedSFTPV2"

                    },

                    {

                        "id":"targetConnection",

                        "value":"AdvancedSFTPV2"

                    },

                    {

                        "id":"parallelBatch",

                        "value":"10"

                    },

                    {

                        "id":"logLevel",

                        "value":"DEBUG"

                    }

                        "id": "sourceDirectory",

                        "value": "/root/test1"

                    },

                    {

                        "id":"filePatternType",

                        "value":"reg"

                    },

                    {

                        "id": "filePattern",

                        "value": "*.txt"

                    },

                    {

                        "id": "batchSize",

                        "value": "5"

                    },

                    {

                        "id":"includeSubfolder",

                        "value":"true"

                    },

                    {

                        "id":"checkDuplicate",

                        "value":"true"

                    },

                    {

                        "id":"fileStability",

                        "value":"true"

                    },

                    {

                        "id":"stabilityCheckInterval",

                        "value":"30"

                    }

                ]

            },

            {

                "id": "Target",

                "parameter": [{

                    "id": "targetDirectory",

                    "value": "/root/test2"

                }]

            }

        ]

    }

}

The following example shows to override a

file ingestion and replication

task with

filename

as a variable:

{
  "taskId": "4m24k3UFWMkkqd55YDefIB",
  "taskName": "R41_Local_Local",
  "parameters": {
    "category": [
      {
        "id": "Source",

            "id": "sourceDirectory",
            "value": "/${Parentfolder}"
          },
          {
            "id": "filePickupFilePath",
            "value": "${filename}"
          },
          {
            "id": "batchSize",
            "value": "5"
          }
        ]
