  Hi Jee,

  Yes, there are REST API calls to Start the various types of artifacts.

  Start Import/Link/Upload

  Start Export Job

  Start Workbook

  For further information, please see our documentation:

  Hi Alan,

  Thanks for your reply.  I am trying to execute a Export job through Datameer browser like below:

  https://xxx.com:8443/rest/job-execution?configuration=947

  But, it gives error

  {
    "status": "failure",
    "reason": "Not yet implemented. get-all"
  }
  
  
  I also tried to execute using REST API curl command like 
  
  curl -k -u 'jk:abc' -X POST 'https://xxx.com:8443/rest/job-execution?configuration=947'
  
  
  But, It is neither running nor reply any error

  Hi Jee,

  Because this is a POST request, you won't be able to execute it from the browser.

  It's odd that you get no response at all.  I just tested the functionality on my Datameer instance and it returns an error if you put in an invalid configuration id, it returns a success json element if it works, and if you can't resolve the host curl complains about that...

  Do you have another host you might be able to try the curl command from?  The syntax you used does look good.  -k to disable SSL, userid/pass, -X POST, and then url itself.

  $ curl -k -u 'alan:password' -X POST 'https://localhost:8443/rest/job-execution?configuration=32'
  {
   "status": "success",
   "job-execution-id": 132,
   "job-execution-user": "alan",
   "job-execution-trigger": "RESTAPI"
  }

  This is what a good response looks like.
