Dynamic Jobs
Dynamic Jobs offer the ability to run ad-hoc jobs programmatically. Dynamic jobs can either a Job Reader, a Job Writer, or a Direct Job. Dynamic jobs have the following limitations:
- Dynamic Jobs are not visible on the DataZen Manager UI
- Dynamic Jobs start automatically
- Cancelling a Dynamic Job can only be done programmatically
- Dynamic Jobs do not store historical information
- Dynamic Jobs only exist in memory
For more information about Dynamic Jobs see the DataZen API documentation .
Dynamic jobs are not supported by cloud agents.
Copy as JSON
To faciliate the creation of a job programmatically, you can use the Copy as Json option when creating or editing a job.
Copying the job definition in memory allows you to quickly create a JSON template
of the job you want to run dynamically. Just change the necessary settings, including the
job name for example, and use it against the Dynamic API endpoint of the Sync Agent.
