Pass parameter to talend cloud job via public API

katie2 — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 05:57:30 GMT

Is it possible to pass a parameter from the POST executions API to a cloud job? The example/model in swagger shows

Executable task {

executable ( string😞

Executable identifier

parameters ( inline_model, optional😞

Executable parameters

}
inline_model {}

But, when I publish a job to cloud and try this POST below, it runs, returns 201 but the job isn't using the parameter.

- curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Basic xxxxxx ==' -d '{ \
"executable": "5cc75d7e1488ad43b1447f6a", \
\
"parameters": { \
"parameter_passed": "test" \
} \
}' 'https://api.us.cloud.talend.com/tmc/v1.2/executions'

Can someone please explain this? Is there a different way to set up the context variable or something?

Hello,

I don't know how you define your parameter in your job but using "parameter_name" in the context works for me.

I set a tFixedFlowInput with this context and retrieve the value of the parameter correctly.

Hope this help

Bump.

Any updates or new findings how this actually works? The api docs are sparse/nonexistent .

Ok figured this out.

The contexts in your job should be prefixed with 'parameter_' ("parameter_name" in my job)

Then in the body of your request you can just put the name of the context w/o the prefix. eg.

{
  "executable": "5dcb3498fc531f932a235dcam",
  "parameters": {
    "name":"Hello World"
  }
}
