Jobs are used to manage tasks. They typically are used to perform operations that take some time or have multiple steps in them. As an Domain Owner it is possible to view all jobs that have been initialized by anyone in the same iconik account.
Examples of jobs are:
- Transcode to create a preview of a video, audio or image file
- Transfer - copying a file from one place to another.
- Delete - deleting an asset and the associated files.
Jobs have an associated status - such as:
- Started
- Finished
- Failed
- Skipped
And they can be canceled, restarted, and deleted if needed.
Sub Jobs
Some jobs are composed of multiple smaller jobs—for example, when performing bulk operations, each operation could be performed in a separate job with its own history and progress. Sub Jobs are reported on the parent job.
Creating jobs
Jobs are automatically created when an action is performed on a collection, asset, or other entity where the operation cannot be completed immediately.
