Jobs

Description

The geoprocessing job resource represents a job submitted using the submitJob operation. It provides the job ID, status, and messages. Additionally, if the job has successfully completed, the job resource provides the following information about the result and input parameters:

  • Job ID as jobId—A system assigned ID for each job. Each job has a unique ID.
  • Status as jobStatus—The current status of the job. It can be esriJobNew, esriJobWaiting, esriJobSubmitted, esriJobExecuting, esriJobCancelling, esriJobCancelled, esriJobFailed, esriJobTimedOut, esriJobSucceeded, esriJobDeleting, or esriJobDeleted.
  • Progress as progress—See the Progress messages section below.
  • Messages as messages—Specify whether the messages will be returned using returnMessages. To configure the message level, see Show Messages.
  • Output as results—All result values can be accessed using the results parameter resource or the results resource. The JSON response specifies a relative URL to the results resource with a paramUrl field.
  • Input as inputs—All input parameter values are accessed using the inputs parameter resource or the inputs resource. The JSON response specifies a relative URL to the inputs resource with a paramUrl field.

The job resource supports a cancel a job operation. This operation can be used to cancel a job before it's completed. If the geoprocessing service is Python code with no ArcPy functions, the cancellation request will not be fulfilled.

Progress messages

For geoprocessing services published from ArcGIS Pro 2.6 or later to ArcGIS Server 10.8.1 or later, a new section, progress, is added in the response JSON. An HTML or KMZ response is not supported. The status message is only available when jobStatus is esriJobExecuting. When the job is in another status, such as esriJobSubmitted or esriJobSucceed, this status message will not be available. The status message will update once every 5 seconds in the REST response JSON. Starting at ArcGIS Server 11.2, you can configure the status message update frequency by editing the service properties using the ArcGIS Enterprise Admin API by providing the progressMessageUpdateInterval property in the service JSON with an integer in seconds. The minimum supported value is 5, which is the default value. The following is a sample truncated JSON:

Sample JSON with the progressMessageUpdateInterval property.

{
    "serviceName": "sample_service",
    "type": "GPServer",
    "properties":{
        "progressMessageUpdateInterval": 60,
        "executionType": "Asynchronous"
    }
}

This progress message is controlled using arcpy.SetProgressor and other ArcPy progressor functions when you are authoring a Python script tool. As with the progressor in ArcGIS Pro, there can be only one type of progressor at a time, and there can be only one message associated with that progressor. Some system tools have a progressor set by default. Both the default progressor and the step progressor are supported. For a step progressor, although a range with negative value is supported, using a positive value for the range is recommended. In addition to the message, a step progress will also provide the percentage finished for the geoprocessing service. The calculation is based on the position, minimum, and maximum of the range. This progress message can provide performance improvement if you want to know a frequent status update of a long running geoprocessing service compared to using the arcpy.AddMessage function.

If no progressor is defined in the geoprocessing service, a default progressor will be assigned with a default progress message.

A default progressor. This is the default if no progressor is specified.

{
    "progress": {
        "type": "default",
        "message": "Executing..."
    }
}

A step progressor.

{
    "progress": {
        "type": "step",
        "message": "This is a step progressor with minimum 2, maximum 10, step 2",
        "percent": 0
    }
}

Additional advanced configurations

Starting at ArcGIS Server 11.2, you can configure the frequency at which an asynchronous geoprocessing service updates a progress message. By default, a geoprocessing service updates the progress message every 5 seconds, and you can configure this frequency by specifying the progressMessageUpdateInterval property value using the ArcGIS Enterprise Admin API in the service JSON. The value will be an integer with seconds, and the most frequent check possible is every 5 seconds. The following is a truncated JSON:

Sample JSON with the progressMessageUpdateInterval property.

{
    "serviceName": "sample_service",
    "type": "GPServer",
    "properties":{
        "progressMessageUpdateInterval": 120,
        "executionType": "Asynchronous"
    }
}

Starting at ArcGIS Server 11.2, you can configure the frequency at which an asynchronous geoprocessing service checks if there is a cancellation request. By default, a geoprocessing service checks every 5 seconds, and you can configure this frequency by specifying the cancellationCheckInterval property value using the ArcGIS Enterprise Admin API in the service JSON. The value will be an integer with seconds, and the most frequent check possible is every 1 second. The following is a truncated JSON:

Sample JSON with the cancellationCheckInterval property.

{
    "serviceName": "sample_service",
    "type": "GPServer",
    "properties":{
        "cancellationCheckInterval": 20,
        "executionType": "Asynchronous"
    }
}

Request parameters

ParameterDetails
f

The response format. The default response format is html.

Values: html | json | kmz

returnMessages

Specifies whether the job messages will be included in the response. The default is true.

Values: true | false

Example usage

When you submit a job and the output format is html, you'll be redirected to the job resource page with a URL similar to the following:

https://machine.domain.com/webadaptor/rest/services/PublicSafety/EMModels/GPServer/ERGByChemical/jobs/jf082fc6d926043fda44169444963fe46

Note:

jf082fc6d926043fda44169444963fe46 is an example job ID, and the job ID for your job will be unique.
