Job | ArcGIS REST JS | Esri Developer

Class

Jobs represent long running processing tasks running on ArcGIS Services. Typically these represent complex analysis tasks such as geoprocessing tasks, logistics analysis such as fleet routing or spatial analysis tasks.

To create a Job, use the Job.submitJob method which will return an instance of the Job class with a unique id.

If you have an existing job you can use Job.serialize and Job.deserialize to save job information as a string and recreate the job to get results later.

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
import { Job,  JOB_STATUSES  } from "@esri/arcgis-rest-request";

const job  = async Job.submitJob(options);

// will automatically wait for job completion and get results when the job is finished.
job.getAllResults().then((results) => {console.log(results)})

// watch for all status updates
job.on("status", ({jobStatus}) => {console.log(job.status)})

By default event monitoring is started when you call Job.waitForCompletion, Job.getAllResults or, Job.getResult and stops automatically when those promises complete. Use Job.startEventMonitoring and Job.stopEventMonitoring to manually start and stop event monitoring outside those methods. Starting monitoring with Job.startEventMonitoring will not stop monitoring when Job.waitForCompletion, Job.getAllResults or, Job.getResult complete.

Methods

Method	Returns	Notes
`cancelJob()`	`Promise<any>`	Cancels the job request and voids the job.
`getAllResults()`	`Promise<any>`	Gets all the results from a successful job by ordering all the result paramUrl requests and calling each of them until all of them are complete and returns an object with all the results.
`getJobInfo()`	`Promise<IJobInfo>`	Retrieves the status of the current job.
`getResult(result)`	`Promise<any>`	Get the specific results of a successful job by result name. To get all results see `Job.getAllResults`.
`off(eventName, handler)`	`void`	A handler that will remove a listener after its emitted and returns a custom handler.
`on(eventName, handler)`	`void`	A handler that listens for an eventName and returns custom handler.
`once(eventName, handler)`	`void`	A handler that listens for an event once and returns a custom handler.
`serialize()`	`string`	Converts the `Job` to a JSON string. You can rehydrate the state of the `Job` with `Job.deserialize`.
`startEventMonitoring(pollingRate)`	`void`	Starts the event polling if the user enables the startMonitoring param.
`stopEventMonitoring()`	`void`	Stops the event polling rate. This is can only be enabled if the user calls this method directly.
`toJSON()`	`IJobOptions`	Formats the requestOptions to JSON format.
`waitForCompletion()`	`Promise<IJobInfo>`	Checks for job status and if the job status is successful it resolves the job information. Otherwise will throw a `ArcGISJobError` if it encounters a cancelled or failure status in the job.
`deserialize(serializeString, options?)`	`Promise<Job>`
`fromExistingJob(options)`	`Promise<Job>`	Creates a new instance of `Job` from an existing job id.
`submitJob(requestOptions)`	`Promise<Job>`	Submits a job request that will return a new instance of `Job`.

cancelJob

Class Method

cancelJob(): Promise<any>

Cancels the job request and voids the job.

Returns

Promise<any>

An object that has job id, job status and messages array sequencing the status of the cancellation being submitted and completed.

getAllResults

Class Method

getAllResults(): Promise<any>

Gets all the results from a successful job by ordering all the result paramUrl requests and calling each of them until all of them are complete and returns an object with all the results.

If monitoring is disabled it will be enabled until the job classes resolves or rejects this promise.

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
Job.submitJob(options)
 .then((job) => {
   return job.getAllResults();
 }).then(allResults => {
   console.log(allResults);
 }).catch(e => {
   if(e.name === "ArcGISJobError") {
     console.log("Something went wrong while running the job", e.jobInfo);
   }
 })

Will throw a ArcGISJobError if it encounters a cancelled or failure status in the job.

Returns

Promise<any>

An object representing all the results from a job.

getJobInfo

Class Method

getJobInfo(): Promise<IJobInfo>

Retrieves the status of the current job.

Returns

Promise<IJobInfo>

An object with the job id and jobStatus.

getResult

Class Method

getResult(result: string): Promise<any>

Get the specific results of a successful job by result name. To get all results see Job.getAllResults.

If monitoring is disabled it will be enabled until the job classes resolves or rejects this promise.

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
Job.submitJob(options)
 .then((job) => {
   return job.getResult("result_name")
 }).then(result => {
   console.log(result);
 }).catch(e => {
   if(e.name === "ArcGISJobError") {
     console.log("Something went wrong while running the job", e.jobInfo);
