Jobs

Jobs have the following characteristics:

  • Jobs are asynchronous.
  • This process is repeated until all jobs are processed.
  • Jobs have a different status, depending on where a job is in its lifecycle.
  • 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.
  • Jobs include the data used when an endpoint is run.
  • Jobs report messages and/or errors to help you understand the reasons for any failed jobs.

Job Lifecycle​

A job can have the following status:

  • 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.
