run userDaily:missing::list

The run userDaily:missing::list command enables you to generate a list of jobs that were not ordered because a specific Order Method (a specific User Daily job) was interrupted for various reasons, such as an operating system crash.

This command requires Control-M/EM version 9.0.21.200 or higher.

The command returns a poll ID to view the list with the run userDaily:missing::poll command.

AuthHeader="x-api-key: $token"
# AuthHeader="Authentication: Bearer $token"  #for a session token
curl -H "$AuthHeader" "$endpoint/run/userDaily/missing/poll/$pollId"

Response

The following example shows a response that lists two unordered jobs and another two unordered jobs that changed after the User Daily job ran:

{
    "jobs": [
        {

This command requires Control-M/EM version 9.0.21.200 or higher.

The command returns a runId to check the job status with the run status command.

CLI Syntax
