Hi,

I am using the VDB refresh API to kick off a VDB refresh. The API sends a JSON output in the following format;

{    "type": "OKResult",
    "status": "OK",
    "result": "",
    "job": "JOB-12345",
    "action": "ACTION-54321"
}

How do i know if the Job with the Job ID i obtained above is a success or a failure?

Is there any other API to poll the status/result of the Job using the Job ID?

Hi, Use this URL to get job progress/status (http://delphixengineip/api/#job) you have to passe the Job reference to it that and read the object from the Delphix engine: curl -X GET -k "http://${DE}/resources/json/delphix/job/${JOBREF}" -b ~/cookies.txt -H "Content-Type: application/json" This will return the job object, you have to look on properties : jobState and percentComplete Regards, Mouhssine

Hi Mouhssine,

For example lets say i have JOB-12345. 

In this case is the below CURL the appropriate way to execute it?

curl -X GET -k "http://51.16.109.229/resources/json/delphix/JOB-12345"">http://51.16.109.229/resources/json/delphix/JOB-13125"">http://51.16.109.229/resources/json/delphix/JOB-12345"; -b ~/cookies.txt -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Hi, Please find here a snipt of code in bash to check and loop on job status until finished while [ $jobState = "RUNNING" ] do sleep 1 result=$(curl -s -X GET -k http://${engine}/resources/json/delphix/job/${jobRef} \ -b ~/cookies.txt -H "Content-Type: application/json") # Get everything in the result that comes after job. temp=${result#*\"jobState\":\"} # Get rid of everything after jobState=${temp%%\"*} done if [ $jobState = "COMPLETED" ] then echo "successfully Job execution" else echo "unable to complete the job correctly" echo result fi } Regards, Mouhssine

Hi,

Where do we pass the JOB ID ?

Running in the format in the below example doesn't work

curl -X GET -k "http:${DE}/resources/json/delphix/JOB-12345"; -b ~/cookies.txt -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Hi, The URL isn't the correct one use this one instead curl -X GET -k "http:${DE}/resources/json/delphix/job/JOB-12345"; -b ~/cookies.txt -H "Content-Type: application/json" Regards, Mouhssine

Hi,

Thank you for your help and updating the URL. This works perfectly to get the status of any job. 

Hi,

happy to know that it works for you.

Rgards,
