Parameter description

**Table 1** URI parameter
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
project_id	Yes	String	Project ID, which is used for resource isolation. For details about how to obtain its value, see Obtaining a Project ID.

Request

**Table 2** Request parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
name	Yes	String	Name of the job. The value can contain 1 to 57 characters.
desc	No	String	Job description. Length range: 0 to 512 characters.
template_id	No	Integer	Template ID. If both template_id and sql_body are specified, sql_body is used. If template_id is specified but sql_body is not, fill sql_body with the template_id value.
queue_name	No	String	Name of a queue. The value can contain 0 to 128 characters.
sql_body	No	String	Stream SQL statement, which includes at least the following three parts: source, query, and sink. Length range: 1,024 x 1,024 characters.
run_mode	No	String	Job running mode. The options are as follows: shared_cluster: indicates that the job is running on a shared cluster. exclusive_cluster: indicates that the job is running on an exclusive cluster. edge_node: indicates that the job is running on an edge node. The default value is shared_cluster.
cu_number	No	Integer	Number of CUs selected for a job. The default value is 2. Sum of the number of compute units and job manager CUs of DLI. CU is also the billing unit of DLI. One CU equals one vCPU and 4 GB of memory. The value is the number of CUs required for job running and cannot exceed the number of CUs in the bound queue. For details about how to set the number of CUs of JobManager, see manager_cu_number.
parallel_number	No	Integer	Number of parallel jobs set by a user. The default value is 1. Number of Flink SQL jobs that run at the same time. Properly increasing the number of parallel threads improves the overall computing capability of the job. However, the switchover overhead caused by the increase of threads must be considered. This value cannot be greater than four times the compute units (number of CUs minus the number of JobManager CUs). For details about how to set the number of JobManager CUs, see manager_cu_number.
checkpoint_enabled	No	Boolean	Whether to enable the automatic job snapshot function. true: indicates to enable the automatic job snapshot function. false: indicates to disable the automatic job snapshot function. Default value: false
checkpoint_mode	No	Integer	Snapshot mode. There are two options: 1: ExactlyOnce, indicates that data is processed only once. 2: AtLeastOnce, indicates that data is processed at least once. The default value is 1.
checkpoint_interval	No	Integer	Snapshot interval. The unit is second. The default value is 10.
obs_bucket	No	String	OBS bucket where users are authorized to save the snapshot. This parameter is valid only when checkpoint_enabled is set to true. OBS bucket where users are authorized to save the snapshot. This parameter is valid only when log_enabled is set to true.
log_enabled	No	Boolean	Whether to enable the function of uploading job logs to users' OBS buckets. The default value is false.
smn_topic	No	String	SMN topic. If a job fails, the system will send a message to users subscribed to the SMN topic.
restart_when_exception	No	Boolean	Whether to enable the function of automatically restarting a job upon job exceptions. The default value is false.
idle_state_retention	No	Integer	Retention time of the idle state. The unit is second. The default value is 3600.
job_type	No	String	Job type. The options include flink_sql_job and flink_opensource_sql_job. The default value is flink_opensource_sql_job. If run_mode is set to exclusive_cluster, job_type must be set to flink_sql_job or flink_opensource_sql_job. If run_mode is set to shared_cluster, job_type must be set to flink_sql_job.
dirty_data_strategy	No	String	Dirty data policy of a job. 2:obsDir: Save. obsDir specifies the path for storing dirty data. 1: Trigger a job exception 0: Ignore The default value is 0.
udf_jar_url	No	String	Name of the resource package that has been uploaded to the DLI resource management system. The UDF Jar file of the SQL job is specified by this parameter.
manager_cu_number	No	Integer	Number of CUs in the JobManager selected for a job. The default value is 1.
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)**.
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.
tags	No	Array of objects	Label of a Flink SQL job. For details, see Table 3.
runtime_config	No	String	Customizes optimization parameters when a Flink job is running.
flink_version	No	String	Flink version.

**Table 3** tags parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
key	Yes	String	Tag key NOTE: A tag key can contain a maximum of 36 characters. Only letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces are allowed. The key cannot start or end with a space.
value	Yes	String	Tag value NOTE: A tag value can contain a maximum of 43 characters. Only letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), periods (.), and spaces are allowed. The value cannot start or end with a space.

Response

**Table 4** Response parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
is_success	No	String	Indicates whether the request is successfully executed. Value true indicates that the request is successfully executed.
message	No	String	Message content.
job	No	Object	Information about the job status. For details, see Table 5.

**Table 5** **job** parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
