# Job States

When you create job requests with Bulk API 2.0, Salesforce provides a job “state” to describe the progress or outcome of the job. Learn how to check and interpret each status.

You can manually [Check the status of the job](/docs/platform/api-asynch/guide/get-job-info.md#get-information-about-an-ingest-job), or you can view job state from within the Salesforce UI. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter `Bulk Data Load Jobs`, and then select **Bulk Data Load Jobs**. The following table summarizes Bulk API 2.0 job states during job creation and processing.

| **Job Phase** | **State**        | **Description**                                                                                                                                       |
| ------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Creation      | `Open`           | An ingest job was created and is open for data uploads.                                                                                               |
| Creation      | `UploadComplete` | (*Ingest*) All job data has been uploaded and the job is ready to be processed.   (*Query*) The job is ready to be processed.                         |
| Processing    | `InProgress`     | The job is being processed by Salesforce. Operations include automatic, optimized batching or chunking of job data, and processing of job operations. |
| Outcome       | `JobComplete`    | The job was processed.                                                                                                                                |
| Outcome       | `Failed`         | The job couldn’t be processed successfully. For the `refresh` marketing object, no records are committed.                                             |
| Outcome       | `Aborted`        | The job was canceled by the job creator, or by a user with the “Manage Data Integrations” permission.                                                 |
