Order of data loading jobs

Learn about the order of how data loading jobs are processed

You can request multiple data loading jobs at the same time, but the data loader processes only one job at a time. To manage this, you can control the order in which jobs are processed in the queue by:

Prioritize data loading jobs

Learn about the capability of prioritizing the data loading jobs

Use this API operation to set or change the priority of data loading jobs. The priority determines the order in which jobs are processed within the queue.

Take a look at the following diagram:

The data loading job priority queue:

  • Has 3 levels of priority:
    • High
    • Normal
    • Low
    Note: The default priority for all jobs is Normal. The default priority can be changed and defined for all jobs created on a specific project. For more information see Reltio Developer Portal - Update existing job definition.
  • Processes jobs with high priority before those with normal or low priority.
  • Processes the job with the earlier creation time (createdTime) first if multiple jobs have the same priority.
  • Moves a job with a higher updated priority to the top of the queue, and changes the currently running job's status to SCHEDULED.

Use the Data Loader _priority endpoint to change a job priority.

For reference information on this endpoint, see Reltio Developer Portal - Job priority.

Pause and Resume a data loading job

Learn about the capability to pause and resume data loading jobs

Use these API operations to pause or resume data loading jobs.

Pausing and resuming jobs allows you to:

  • Pause an active job, changing its status to PAUSED.
  • Resume a paused job, allowing it to continue loading data from where it stopped.
  • Resume an earlier job while another job is running. The resumed job will take priority, and the currently running job will be set to SCHEDULED.

To pause a running job, use the Data Loader _pause endpoint.

For reference information on this endpoint, see Reltio Developer Portal - Pause a job.

Use the Data Loader _resume endpoint to resume a paused job.

For reference information on this endpoint, see Reltio Developer Portal - Resume a job.
