• Cancel job: Click this button to cancel your job while it is still in progress. This button may not appear until the queued job has been submitted to the running environment.

  Info
  NOTE: This option may not be available for all running environments. Job cancellation is not supported in high-availability deployments.

  Info

  NOTE: If you do not have permission to cancel a D s dataflow job, the appropriate permissions must be added to your IAM role by an administrator. The default IAM role available with the product has these permissions, but these permissions may not be present if you are using a custom or personal IAM role in your account. For more information on IAM permissions, see Required Dataprep User Permissions.

  Info
  NOTE: In some cases, the product is unable to cancel the job from the application. In these cases, click View in Dataflow, and from there you can cancel the job in progress.

• View dataflow job: View the job that was executed on

  .

• View BigQuery job: If the job was able to be executed in BigQuery, you can review the job in the BigQuery console.

  Info

  NOTE: When you view the job in BigQuery, you are using your own credentials to access the BigQuery console, which may be different from the service account that was used to execute the job. In this case, the job in BigQuery may be reported having errors when viewed using your credentials, when the job succeeded using the service account. To see the job properly, the bigquery.jobs.get and bigquery.jobs.list permissions must be added to your account. For more information, see Required Dataprep User Permissions.

  • Jobs can be executed in BigQuery if all data sources and outputs are located in BigQuery. Additional requirements apply. For more information, see Overview of Job Execution.
• Download profile as PDF: If visual profiling was enabled for the job, you can download the profile in PDF format.

• Download profile as JSON: If visual profiling was enabled for the job, you can download a JSON representation of the profile to your desktop.
  

  Tip
  Tip: When you download your JSON profile, any rules applied to the generated results are included in the profile. Search for profilerRules.

• View details: Click View details to view the generated results in the side bar. See the Output Destinations below.

Completed Stages:

This panel provides information on the progress and completion status of each stage of the job execution. 

• Connect: The platform is attempting to connect to the datastore hosting the asset sources for the datasets.
• Schema validation: When enabled, the schemas of a job's datasources are checked as the first step of job execution.
  • Datasets with changes in them are reported at the top of the list. Click View all to see schema validation for all of the datasets used in the job in the Data sources tab.
  • Optionally, the job can be halted if there are differences between the schema that is read and the schema that has been stored from the previous job run. This option can prevent data corruption.
  • If no errors are detected, then the job is completed as normal.
  • For more information on schema validation, see Overview of Schema Management.
• Request: The platform is requesting the set of assets to deliver.
• Ingest: Depending on the type of source data, some jobs ingest data to the base storage layer in a converted format before processing begins. This ingested data is purged after job completion.
• Prepare: (Publishing only) Depending on the destination, the Prepare phase includes the creation of temporary tables, generation of manifest files, and the fetching of extra connections for parallel data transfer.
• Transfer: Assets are transferred to the target, which can be the platform or to the output datastore.

• Transform: This stage covers the execution of transformations on the source data. 

• Profile: If you chose to profile your output data, this stage is completed after transformation is complete. Results are available in the Profile tab.

  Info
  NOTE: If you chose to generate a profile of your job results, the transformation and profiling tasks may be combined into a single task, depending on your environment. If they are combined and profiling fails, any publishing tasks defined in the job are not launched. You may be able to ad-hoc publish the generated results. See below.

• Publish: This stage covers the writing of the outputs of the transformed data. These outputs are available through the Output destinations tab.
  

• Process: Cleanup after data transfer, including the dropping of temporary tables or copying data within the instance.

For more information, see Overview of Job Monitoring.

If present, you can click the Show Warnings link to see any warnings pertaining to recipe errors, including the relevant step number.

• To view the job that was executed, click View dataflow job.

• If your job output specified SQL scripts to run before or after job execution, you can track their progress in the following stages:
  • Pre-ingest SQL: Script that is configured to run before the source data is ingested to the platform.
  • Post-publish SQL: Script that is configure to run after the output data has been published.
  • For additional details, see the SQL scripts tab below.
  • For more information on SQL scripts in job execution, see Create Output SQL Scripts.

• Job status: Current status of the job:
  
  • Queued:  Job has been queued for execution.
  • Running: Job is in progress.

  • Completed: Job has successfully executed.

    Info
    NOTE:  Invalid steps in a recipe are skipped, and it's still possible for the job to be executed successfully.

  • Failed: Job failed to complete. 

    Info
    NOTE:  You can re-run a failed job from the Transformer page. If you have since modified the recipe, those changes are applied during the second run. See Transformer Page.

Last update: Timestamp for when the job was last updated

Duration: Elapsed time of job execution

vCPU usage: Total vCPU hours used to run the job. For more information, see Usage Metrics.

Optimization summary:

For jobs sourced from relational datasets, you can optionally enable SQL-based optimizations, which apply some of the steps specified in your recipe back in the datasource, where they can be executed before the data is transferred to the running environment for execution. Using these optimizations means faster performance based on a lower volume of data transfer.

...

Optimizations must be enabled. You can also select the optimizations to apply. 

When optimizations have been applied, they are listed on the Overview tab:

Optimization: This setting is displayed if optimizations have been enabled.

Columns pruned: If one or more unused columns have been pruned in the datasource via SQL, the count of columns is listed here.

Filters pushed down: If one or more row filters has been applied in the datasource via SQL, the count of filters is listed here.

If an optimization is disabled or was not applied to the job run, it is not listed.
