Batch Compute (Deprecated):start_job

Description

This API can be called only when the job is in Stopped or Failed state.

After a job in Failed state is restarted, instances that have been started will not be restarted again.

Parameter description

Response description

The start_job method returns an ActionResponse object. ActionResponse provides only two attributes: request ID and status code.

Example

try:
    # Get a Client object.
    client = Client(...
    ...
    # Job ID.
    job = "job-xxxx"
    job_detail = client.get_job(job)
    if job_detail.State == "Stopped":
        # Only stopped job can be restarted.
        client.start_job(job)
    job_detail = client.get_job(job)
    assert job_detail.State in ["Waiting", "Running"]
except ClientError, e:
    print(e)
