JobTemplate
A JobTemplate provides reusable settings for Jobs that need to be run repeatedly.
This topic gives an overview of the JobTemplate
entity and also demonstrates how to execute various operations with the Media Services REST API.
Important
When accessing entities in Media Services, you must set specific header fields and values in your HTTP requests.
For more information, see Setup for Media Services REST API Development and Connecting to Media Services with the Media Services REST API.
JobTemplate Entity Properties
Property | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Id Read-only. Set by Media Services at creation time. |
Edm.String | Unique identifier. |
Name Optional. |
Edm.String | Friendly name for the job template. |
Created Read-only. Set by Media Services at creation time. |
Edm.DateTime | Represents the number of milliseconds since midnight Jan 1, 1970. |
LastModified Read-only. Set by Media Services. |
Edm.DateTime | This value is updated by Media Services after any property changes are made. It represents the number of milliseconds since midnight Jan 1, 1970. |
JobTemplateBody Required. |
Edm.String | An Xml document that defines what TaskTemplates and the number of input and output assets to use. For example,<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <jobTemplate> <taskBody taskTemplateId=”nb:ttid:UUID:0749DF78-5167-413D-91AA-31564ED1EF34”> … </taskBody> <taskBody taskTemplateId=”nb:ttid:UUID:0432DF78-5167-4132-942A-88241ED1AC34”> … </taskBody> </jobtemplate> The format for the TaskBody content is the same as the Task’s TaskBody property plus the TaskTemplateId (or taskTemplateId ) attribute. Each TaskTemplateId should be unique and correspond to the TaskTemplate in the TaskTemplates collection. The number of TaskBody elements has to be the same as the count of the TaskTemplates collection. |
