OCAPI System Jobs 23.2

What are System Jobs?

System jobs are predefined jobs that are called via the following OCAPI request:

POST dw/data/v23_2/jobs/{job_id}/executions

Calling this resource triggers a background job and retrieves a response document containing information about the job's status. Note that different System Jobs may use different request payloads.

The job ID always starts with sfcc-. This is a namespace specific to Commerce Cloud System Jobs. You cannot use it in custom job IDs.

Currently available system jobs can be found in Global Jobs.

What does a System Job request look like?

A System Job request looks like a basic OCAPI Data API request, but can have its own request document. An example is shown here for the site archive import job:

REQUEST:
      POST /dw/data/v23_2/jobs/sfcc-site-archive-import/executions HTTP/1.1
      Host: example.com
      Accept: application/json
      Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
      {
          "file_name": "siteGenesis.zip",
          "mode": "merge"
      }

      RESPONSE:
      HTTP/1.1 202 ACCEPTED
      Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
      Content-Length: 741
