Glossary
Work with Jobs
You process a set of records by creating a job that contains one or more batches. The job specifies which object is being processed and what
type of operation is being used.
A job is represented by the JobInfo resource. This resource is used to create a new job, get status for an existing job, and change status for a job.
Salesforce provides an additional API, Bulk API 2.0, which uses the REST API framework to provide similar capabilities to Bulk API. Bulk API 2.0 simplifies the job creation and monitoring process. For more information on Bulk API 2.0, see the Bulk API 2.0 Developer Guide.
Note
-
Create a Job
Create a job by sending a POST request to the following URI. The request body identifies the type of object processed in all associated batches. -
Monitor a Job
You can monitor a Bulk API job in Salesforce. The monitoring page tracks jobs and batches created by any client application, including Data Loader or any client application that you write. -
Close a Job
Close a job by sending a POST request to the following URI. The request URI identifies the job to close. When a job is closed, no more batches can be added. -
Get Job Details
Get all details for an existing job by sending a GET request to the following URI. -
Abort a Job
Abort an existing job by sending a POST request to the following URI. The request URI identifies the job to abort. When a job is aborted, no more records are processed. If changes to data have already been committed, they aren’t rolled back. -
Job and Batch Lifespan
All jobs and batches older than seven days are deleted.
