How to Get the Job Run ID within the Workflow

[JagdeeshN]

Hi,

I am currently invoking an alteryx workflow on the Gallery using the 'API POST' method. The return payload contains a job id(different from the app id) which i assume is the 'current instance ID' for that particular application.

I now am looking to get this same JOB Instance ID within the workflow itself. i.e the id for the current run in runtime. I need this as a primary key  to be able to make another API call to another application.Is there a way to retrieve that?

Appreciate all the help.

Best,

Mongo creates the jobid.  The POST sends a request to create a new document in AS_Queue and then the documentId of that is the jobId.

Is there any function or tool than can give Job ID back within workflow?

I need this function too! Please share if you get any luck or any workaround. Now I have to use gallery Job API to get the JobID and save it in another table.
