How to Submit a Job to OneCompute Platform

The OneCompute Platform Client has two methods for submitting a job:

Method Return type Description
SubmitJobAsync IJobMonitor Submits the specified Job and returns a job monitor that allows the client to monitor the status and progress of the job.
SubmitJobAsync string Submits the specified job with the cancellation token as an asynchronous operation. Returns the job id.

The following code example shows how to use the OneCompute Platform Client to submit a job to the OneCompute Platform.

var job = new Job
{
    ServiceName = "CalcWorker", // Name of the OneCompute Application
    Work = work
};
var monitor = await oneComputePlatformClient.SubmitJobAsync(job);

Notice that this example tags onto the code examples of the preceding section on how to create jobs.

First-time submission of a job in a service-to-service scenario

Note that if the type of authentication used is client credentials, then the first submission of a job will fail. This is because the service user represented by the client credentials ("id" and "secret") needs to be activated in the OneCompute Platform, and associated with a company account, just like an ordinary user would have to be.

After the service user has been activated, the job needs to be resubmitted.
