Every Job associated with a Store can be accessed via the Scheduled Job Collection.

This resource provides access to job metadata and the ability to remove a job from the collection.

URI Pattern

http://api.talis.com/stores/{storename}/jobs/{id}

Resource Operations

View A Job

A GET request on the URI for a Job will return the metadata associated with the Job. This operation requires the full update capability.

The response is an RDF/XML document, e.g:

<rdf:RDF
    xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
    xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#"
    xmlns:bf="http://schemas.talis.com/2006/bigfoot/configuration#" > 
  <bf:JobRequest>
    <rdfs:label>Reset the data in my store</rdfs:label>
    <bf:jobType rdf:resource="http://schemas.talis.com/2006/bigfoot/configuration#ResetDataJob"/>
    <bf:startTime>2008-05-02T14:30:00Z</bf:startTime>
  </bf:JobRequest>
 </rdf:RDF>

A job request will have three basic properties:

• A human-readable label, describing the job
• A type
• A start time.

Note that the time assigned to a Job indicates the earliest time at which it will be executed. The actual time of execution may be any time after the requested time.

Delete A Job

A DELETE request sent to the URI for a Job will delete the job, removing it from the Scheduled Job Collection. This operation requires the full update capability.

Add A Job

Adding a Job requires modifying the Scheduled Job Collection by POSTing a new job description. Read the collection documentation for further information. The following list defines the currently supported job types.

Updating A Job

Updating is not currently supported. You must first remove the old job and then submit a new one.

Types of Job

• Reset Data Job - clears all of a store's content and metadata
• Snapshot Job - creates a snapshot of a store's content and metadata
• Restore Job - replaces a store's content and metadata with that contained in a snapshot
• Reindex Job - reindexes the metadata in a store
