Invoking the Task through URI Patterns
You can run Ultra Tasks by calling either the task name or the alias that was provided when you created the Ultra Task.
To obtain the URL:
In Manager, navigate to the target Project, and click the Tasks tab.
Click on the inverted arrow by the target Task, and click Details.
You can copy the URL from HTTP Endpoint.
(Optional) You can view the CA certificate generated by SnapLogic by clicking Download the CA Certificate for your SnapLogic organization.
In cases where IP Address and port number are used as part of the URL, you must replace them with the name of the Host before you can invoke the Task.
feed_master_uri/api/1/reset/feed-master/queue/org/project_space/project/task_name
Using Alias to Invoke the Task
feed_master_uri/api/1/reset/feed-master/queue/org/project_space/project/alias
Sending an HTTP Request to the Pipeline
To send HTTP requests to the pipeline, use the HTTP Authorization header and endpoint from the Task's Details page.
The Authorization header must be included in requests sent to the endpoint if a Bearer token is configured. Otherwise, an HTTP 401 Unauthorized error is returned.
The HTTP endpoint belongs to the FeedMaster that is part of the Snaplex on which the task is configured to run.
As an example, the following cURL command line sends a GET request to the FeedMaster with the Authorization header.
Using the Task Name:
$ curl -k -H 'Authorization: Bearer jH6ofxtn3qe8jGoiSWbW3adW0N6KXziV'https://groundplex.local:8084/api/1/rest/feed-master/queue/Snaplogic/projects/llfeed-demo/hello-world-taskUsing the Alias:
$ curl -k -H 'Authorization: Bearer jH6ofxtn3qe8jGoiSWbW3adW0N6KXziV' https://groundplex.local:8084/api/1/rest/feed-master/queue/Snaplogic/projects/llfeed-demo/hello-world-task-alias
Sending an HTTP Request through a Browser
Alternatively, from an HTTP request through a browser, use the URLs to call an Ultra Task with the bearer token.
Using the Task Name:
Using the Alias:
The runs can be monitored in the SnapLogic Dashboard and can be stopped by disabling or deleting the task. You should also check the logs in the task Details page since prepare fails are logged and do not show up in the Dashboard. The FeedMaster writes a feed_master_access.log that follows the web server common log format with the addition of an integer that specifies how many milliseconds the request took to process.
Alias Feature - 4.13 and upwards
The field Alias is available only in the JCC for 4.13 and later, please ensure that your Snaplex is updated to the latest version in order to use this feature.
Using the bearer token as a query parameter
If your API calling system does not support authorization through a header, you can instead pass the bearer token as a query parameter. For example:
Curl Command
$ curl 'https://<pod_/api/1/rest/slsched/feed/example/jobs/test-hello?Name=John&bearer_token=Xrcuwn2zVLqR7KXXXXXXXXX'
HTTP Request via a browser
Enabling/Disabling the Task in Manager
To start or stop an Ultra Task:
- In Manager, click Tasks to display a list of all Tasks.
- Select the target Ultra Task, then in the upper right-hand corner of the window, adjacent to the icons, click Enable to start the Task or Disable to stop it.
High Availability using Alias to deploy Ultra Tasks in multiple Snaplexes
You can deploy an Ultra Task across multiple Snaplexes by using the Alias you have assigned to the Task in the Alias field instead of using the Task Name. This capability enables High Availability configurations to ensure that if one Snaplex goes down, the Ultra Task is triggered in the other Snaplex. This feature is available in the updated JCC for 4.13 and upwards.
