Submitting a Job

The REST API supports submitting Solver and Mosel type jobs.
POST the job request to the following endpoint: 
https://<INSIGHTURL>/insightservices/rest/v1/compute
The POST should submit a multi-part form with two parts:
  1. A field with name computeJob whose value is a JSON descriptor as described below.
  2. A file upload with name payload. This is expected to be a zip file, with a filename ending in .zip. This will be tagged and attached to the scenario. During the job execution this will be sent to the worker and unzipped into the compute app work folder.
Note Xpress Insight 5 imposes a configurable limit of 1000 jobs to the length of the job queue. For more, see Job Queue Limit in the earlier section Using the Compute Interface with Xpress.
Covered Topics
  • Configuring the Request
    Each job submitted must be given a unique id by the caller. This id will be used in all future requests to refer to the job.
  • Adding a Request Payload
    The second part of the job submission request is a file upload with name payload. This is expected to be a zip file, with a filename ending in .zip.
  • Request Responses
    The possible responses to a request submission are detailed in this topic.
  • Using Dependencies
    Dependencies are zip files which can be uploaded to the Compute Interface and then referenced by one or more jobs.
