        taskManager	taskManager running parameters include: Slots: If this parameter is left blank, the default value 1 is used. Memory (MB): The minimum value is 512.
        Enable CheckPoint	Whether to enable CheckPoint. After CheckPoint is enabled, you need to configure the following information: Time Interval (ms): This parameter is mandatory. Mode: This parameter is mandatory. The options are EXACTLY_ONCE and AT_LEAST_ONCE. Minimum Interval (ms): The minimum value is 10. Timeout Duration: The minimum value is 10. Maximum Parallelism: The value must be a positive integer containing a maximum of 64 characters.

        Failure Recovery Policy	Failure recovery policy of a job. The options are as follows: fixed-delay: You need to configure Retry Times and Retry Interval (s). failure-rate: You need to configure Max Retry Times, Interval (min), and Retry Interval (s). none

     4. Click Submit in the upper left corner to submit the job.
   • Creating a Flink JAR job
     1. Click Select, upload a local JAR file, and set parameters by referring to Table 3.
        Figure 2 Creating a Flink JAR job
        

        Table 3 Parameter configuration

        Parameter	Description
        Local .jar File	Upload a local JAR file. The size of the file cannot exceed 10 MB.
        Main Class	Main-Class type. Default: By default, the class name is specified based on the Mainfest file in the JAR file. Specify: Manually specify the class name.
        Type	Class name. This parameter is available when Main Class is set to Specify.
        Class Parameter	Class parameters of Main-Class (parameters are separated by spaces).
        Parallelism	Number of concurrent jobs. The value must be a positive integer containing a maximum of 64 characters.
        JobManager Memory (MB)	Memory of JobManager The minimum value is 512 and the value can contain a maximum of 64 characters.
        Submit Queue	Queue to which a job is submitted. If this parameter is not set, the default queue is used. The queue name can contain a maximum of 30 characters. Only letters, digits, and underscores (_) are allowed.
        taskManager	taskManager running parameters include: Slots: If this parameter is left blank, the default value 1 is used. Memory (MB): The minimum value is 512.

     2. Click Save to save the configuration and click Submit to submit the job.

5. Return to the job management page. You can view information about the created job, including job name, type, status, kind, and description.

   After a job is created, you can start, develop, stop, edit, and delete the job, view job details, and rectify checkpoint faults in the Operation column of the job.

   

   • To read files related to the submitted job on the node as another user, ensure that the user and the user who submitted the job belong to the same user group and the user has been assigned the FlinkServer application management role. For example,application view is selected by referring to Authentication Based on Users and Roles.
   • You can view details about jobs in the Running state.
   • You can rectify checkpoint faults for jobs in the Running failed, Running succeeded, or Stop state.
