API support for monitoring Alma publishing and Primo updating data flow
Currently, the monitoring of Alma-side import and publishing jobs, and Primo-side pipes and indexing processes must be performed manually. Job status information should be accessible via API, so institutions could make this manual monitoring work much more automated.

Hi,
The below Devloper Network pages might be helpful:
* Retrieving job IDs - This API can be used to get all of the job IDs in your environment, and may be filtered by category
* Retrieve job instances - This API can be used to get all of the instances (executions) of a given job, using the above retrieved job ID. The list can be filtered to view only a specific date range.
* Retrieve job instance details - This can be used to obtain a specific job instance's report.

I don't believe that the methods currently supported would support the need, even on the Alma side - and my request (now closed) cited both the Alma and Primo sides.
This is for tracking of scheduled jobs that run once a day, or several times a day.
Example: Automated tracking for one day, to track:
Alma Metadata Import / Load of OCLC WorldCat updated records
Alma Metadata Import / Load of OCLC WorldCat new records
Alma Network Zone environment Network Publishing JobFor the Retrieve Job Instances API: The job_id is a required parameter, but is not known (except through the Alma UI). How could it be used to track the once every six hour scheduled job that runs/completes to support Alma publishing to Primo?
These are other needs in terms of automated tracking of the Alma publishing/Primo updating workflow:
Primo central publishing pipe result
Primo deduplication and FRBRization pipe result
Primo Indexing and Hotswapping job resultThe entire Alma publishing and Primo updating workflow is manually tracked and I am interested in automated tracking.

Hi,
It is currently possible to retrieve Alma Jobs information via APIs.
Please see the description of the Retrieve Manual Jobs API at : https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/alma/apis/conf/GET/gwPcGly021p29HpB7XTI4LNz7jcLCXbF/37088dc9-c685-4641-bc7f-60b5ca7cabed
Please see the description of the Retrieve Job Instances API at : https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/alma/apis/conf/GET/gwPcGly021p29HpB7XTI4If2K/a0Xsh6fJL0RW8W443IGWMelUo7NA==/37088dc9-c685-4641-bc7f-60b5ca7cabed
Below is sample information that may be retrieved for a job via the API.
