Job

In the original design of Data Manager, a Job was a predefined configuration within Data Manager that connected to outside data.

When a Job was run, it copied raw data from a third-party tool, database, or flat file into Data Manager.

Jobs ran locally using the Adapters client that was running in your environment. They could be manually run using the command line, or scheduled to run automatically by wrapping the Adapters client in a scheduling app.

In the current design of Data Manager, the concept of a Job has been rolled into the concept of a data source. Instead of configuring and running jobs, you now configure and fetch data sources.
