Jobs

Several Product Experience Manager endpoints function as jobs. When any of these endpoints are run, a job is automatically created.

• product import.
• product export.
• price book import.
• duplicating hierarchies.
• building child products.

Characteristics of Jobs

Jobs have the following characteristics.

• Jobs are asynchronous.

• Jobs have a different status, depending on where a job is in its lifecycle. See Job Lifecycle.

• Jobs include the data used when an endpoint is run.

• Jobs are processed one at a time. You can continue to send requests using endpoints that function as jobs, but those jobs are queued. In other words, Commerce looks for any jobs that have a status of PENDING and starts the job with the earliest created date. This process is repeated until all jobs are processed.

• Jobs report messages and/or errors to help you understand:

  • what changes a job implemented in Commerce.
  • the reasons for any failed jobs.

Job Lifecycle

A job has the following lifecycle.

• PENDING - Commerce has received the request but is currently busy processing other requests.
• STARTED - Commerce has started processing the job.
• SUCCESS - The job has successfully completed.
• FAILED - The job has failed. See Get job errors.
