HPE Compute Ops Management Jobs

Job Definition

A job is a multi-step task that is managed by Compute Ops Management to perform an action on a resource. For example performing power operations or firmware updates on a server.

Available Jobs

The following table summarizes the jobs that can be performed in COM.

Job Template IDs

The template ID of a job is durable which means that it's the same across all Compute Ops Management regions. It uniquely identifies a job and can be hard-coded in your scripts and tools.

Create Job

A job can be created by issuing a POST to the /compute-ops-mgmt/v1beta3/jobs endpoint with the correct payload for the job.

The following properties are used when creating a job:

Property	JSON Type	Description	Required?
`jobTemplateUri`	string (uri)	A job-template URI with the durable Template ID of the job	Yes
`resourceUri`	string (uri)	A resource URI that the job will operate on	Yes
`data`	object	Any additional data required by the job	No

If the job was created successfully, a 201 Created response is returned. The response includes the job resource which has a job resourceUri that you can use to track the progress of the job.

Monitoring Jobs

In order to track job progress, request the current job using GET /compute-ops-mgmt/{version}/jobs/{job-id} with either v1beta3 or v1beta2 as the {version}.

Using v1beta3

The response includes a state and resultCode which allow you to monitor the current job state and result. The job also includes a status which can provide more details about the current job progress.

The job state and resultCode are defined as follows:

State	Description
`PENDING`	The job is queued behind other running jobs
`RUNNING`	The job is currently running
`STALLED`	The job is not making progress and needs to be terminated manually
`ERROR`	The job terminated unexpectedly due to an error
`COMPLETE`	The job completed

Note: ERROR and COMPLETE are both terminal states for a job.

Result Code	Description
`SUCCESS`	The job completed successfully
`FAILURE`	The job completed without achieving its intended outcome
`null`	The job is in a non-terminal state

Example

The following example shows a completed GroupFirmwareCompliance job using the v1beta3 jobs route.

`RUNNING`	The job is currently running
`STALLED`	The job is not making progress and needs to be terminated manually
`ERROR`	The job finished with an error
