Request Parameters

**Table 2** Parameter description
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
name	No	String	Name of the job. Length range: 0 to 57 characters.
desc	No	String	Job description. Length range: 0 to 512 characters.
queue_name	No	String	Name of a queue. Length range: 1 to 128 characters.
cu_number	No	Integer	Number of CUs selected for a job. The default value is 2.
manager_cu_number	No	Integer	Number of CUs on the management node selected by the user for a job, which corresponds to the number of Flink job managers. The default value is 1.
parallel_number	No	Integer	Number of parallel operations selected for a job. The default value is 1.
log_enabled	No	Boolean	Whether to enable the job log function. true: indicates to enable the job log function. false: indicates to disable the job log function. Default value: false
obs_bucket	No	String	OBS bucket where users are authorized to save logs when log_enabled is set to true.
smn_topic	No	String	SMN topic. If a job fails, the system will send a message to users subscribed to the SMN topic.
main_class	No	String	Job entry class.
entrypoint_args	No	String	Job entry parameter. Multiple parameters are separated by spaces.
restart_when_exception	No	Boolean	Whether to enable the function of restart upon exceptions. The default value is false.
entrypoint	No	String	Name of the package that has been uploaded to the DLI resource management system. This parameter is used to customize the JAR file where the job main class is located. For Flink 1.15 or later, you can only select packages from OBS, instead of DLI. Example: obs://bucket_name/test.jar
dependency_jars	No	Array of strings	Name of the package that has been uploaded to the DLI resource management system. This parameter is used to customize other dependency packages. For Flink 1.15 or later, you can only select packages from OBS, instead of DLI. Example: obs://bucket_name/test1.jar, obs://bucket_name/test2.jar
dependency_files	No	Array of strings	Name of the resource package that has been uploaded to the DLI resource management system. This parameter is used to customize dependency files. For Flink 1.15 or later, you can only select packages from OBS, instead of DLI. Example: [obs://bucket_name/file1, obs://bucket_name/file2]
tm_cus	No	Integer	Number of CUs for each TaskManager. The default value is 1.
tm_slot_num	No	Integer	Number of slots in each TaskManager. The default value is *(parallel_numbertm_cus)/(cu_number-manager_cu_number)**.
feature	No	String	Job feature. Type of the Flink image used by a job. basic: indicates that the basic Flink image provided by DLI is used. custom: indicates that the user-defined Flink image is used.
flink_version	No	String	Flink version. This parameter is valid only when feature is set to basic. You can use this parameter with the feature parameter to specify the version of the DLI basic Flink image used for job running.
execution_agency_urn	No	String	Name of the agency authorized to DLI. This parameter is configurable in Flink 1.15.
image	No	String	Custom image. The format is Organization name/Image name:Image version. This parameter is valid only when feature is set to custom. You can use this parameter with the feature parameter to specify a user-defined Flink image for job running. For details about how to use custom images, see .
resume_checkpoint	No	Boolean	Whether the abnormal restart is recovered from the checkpoint.
resume_max_num	No	Integer	Maximum number of retry times upon exceptions. The unit is times/hour. Value range: -1 or greater than 0. The default value is -1, indicating that the number of times is unlimited.
checkpoint_path	No	String	Storage address of the checkpoint in the JAR file of the user. The path must be unique.
runtime_config	No	String	Customizes optimization parameters when a Flink job is running.
job_type	No	String	Job types.
resource_config_version	No	String	Resource configuration version. The value can be v1 or v2. The default value is v1. Compared with the v1 template, the v2 template does not support the setting of the number of CUs. The v2 template supports the setting of Job Manager Memory and Task Manager Memory. v1: applicable to Flink 1.12, 1.13, and 1.15. v2: applicable to Flink 1.13, 1.15, and 1.17. You are advised to use the parameter settings of v2.
resource_config	No	Object	Resource configuration of a Flink job. For detailed parameter descriptions, refer to Table 3. When the resource configuration version is v2, the configuration takes effect; when the resource configuration version is v1, the configuration is invalid.

**Table 3** resource_config parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
max_slot	No	integer	Number of parallel tasks that a single TaskManager can support. Each task slot can execute one task in parallel. Increasing task slots enhances the parallel processing capacity of the TaskManager but also increases resource consumption. The number of task slots is linked to the CPU count of the TaskManager since each CPU can offer one task slot. By default, a single TM slot is set to 1. The minimum parallelism must not be less than 1.
parallel_number	No	integer	Number of tasks concurrently executed by each operator in a job. The default value is 1.
jobmanager_resource_spec	No	Object	JobManager resource specifications. For details about the parameters, see Table 4.
taskmanager_resource_spec	No	Object	TaskManager resource specifications. For details about the parameters, see Table 5.

**Table 4** jobmanager_resource_spec parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
cpu	No	double	Number of CPU cores available for JobManager. The default value is 1.0 CPU core, with a minimum of no less than 0.5 CPU cores.
memory	No	string	Memory that can be used by JobManager, in MB or GB. The default unit is GB. The default value is 4 GB, and the minimum value is 2 GB.

**Table 5** taskmanager_resource_spec parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
cpu	No	double	Number of CPU cores available for TaskManager. The default value is 1.0 CPU core, with a minimum of no less than 0.5 CPU cores.
memory	No	string	Memory that can be used by TaskManager, in MB or GB. The default unit is GB. The default value is 4 GB, and the minimum value is 2 GB.

message	No	String	Message content.
job	No	object	Information about job update. For details, see Table 7.

**Table 7** job parameter
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
update_time	No	Long	Time when a job is updated. The unit is millisecond.
