Bulk operations

Describes how to work with bulk operations when using the Optimizely Service API, a service layer used for integration of Optimizely Commerce with external systems, such as Optimizely Product Information Management, DAM, and ERPs.

Integrations, such as with Optimizely Product Information Management, often involve the transfer of large data volumes. The Service API allows for bulk operations that can take a long time to complete.

To facilitate long-running tasks, bulk operations return a task identifier that you can use to get the status of a task and any associated messages. You can get last or aggregated status messages for the associated task identifier.

Example model

using System;

public enum MessageType
  {
    Progress = 0,
    Debug = 1,
    Info = 2,
    Warning = 3,
    Success = 4,
    Error = 5
  }

public class JobMessage
  {
    public DateTime TimestampUtc { get; set; }
    public MessageType MessageType { get; set; }
    public string Message { get; set; }
    public string StageName { get; set; }
    public int StageIndex { get; set; }
    public int StageCount { get; set; }
    public int StageProgress { get; set; }
    public int StageTotalProgress { get; set; }
    public string ExceptionMessage { get; set; }
    public string ExceptionStackTrace { get; set; }
  }

Note

Only consider a task completed if the message type is number 4 or 5.
