Data and Job Handling API Overview

Learn more about the Data and Job Handling API.

The data and job handling APIs allow administrating tenants to manage jobs for their users.

The job types for these APIs are:

• Dispatching jobs generate other jobs. Dispatching jobs act as parent jobs and are identified by a dispatching job ID. This allows you to identify the dispatching job that generated specific extraction jobs, and the jobs that the extraction jobs generated, including receiving jobs and processing jobs.
• Extraction jobs deal with the retrieval of data from a source system to Visier's platform. This job type is associated with data connectors. Extraction jobs generate the following jobs:
  • Receiving jobs to validate the retrieved data.
  • Processing jobs to populate data in analytic tenants.
• Processing jobs deal with an individual analytic tenant's data load. A processing job is either triggered through the UI or is one of many processing jobs spawned from a receiving job. When a processing job is triggered as part of a set from an receiving job, it is associated to the receiving job through a Parent ID.
• Receiving jobs deal with the receiving of data through any data transfer. A system-generated event triggers a receiving job and this job shows the status of the Visier platform working on extracting and virus-scanning the contents of the file.
