aidp-pipelines — AIDP Jobs (build, schedule, run, monitor)
Author and operate AIDP Jobs — task DAGs over notebooks/python with optional cron — and watch their runs.
Engine precedence (see references/aidp-cli-map.md): prefer the
official aidp workflow … CLI when installed; fall back to oci raw-request otherwise. Both hit the
same REST API with the same auth — no MCP / ai-data-engineer-agent repo required. Persist every mutation
body to .aidp/payloads/ and confirm before running (see references/payloads.md).
Auth + base URL: CLI flags
--instance-id <DATALAKE_OCID> --auth api_key --profile DEFAULT --region <r>; REST basehttps://aidp.<region>.oci.oraclecloud.com/20240831/dataLakes/<DATALAKE_OCID>/…. On 401/403 follow the auth ladder (oci session refresh --profile AIDP_SESSION) inreferences/oci-raw-request.md.
Commands (CLI preferred · REST fallback)
- Author:
aidp workflow list-jobs·create-job·get-job·update-job·delete-job(REST:GET|POST|PUT|DELETE /workspaces/{ws}/jobs[/{key}]). - Run/monitor:
aidp workflow create-job-run·get-job-run·list-job-runs·list-recent-job-runs·list-task-runs·get-task-run·fetch-output/export-task-run-output·cancel-job-run[s]·repair-job-run(REST:POST …/jobs/{key}/actions/run,GET …/jobRuns/{runId}, task-run output).
Listing reliability (LIVE-LESSON 2026-06-12): job lists are large and paginated — a real workspace can hold 100+ jobs (live:
playgroundreturned 100 on the first page). Always paginate (limit
- the
opc-next-pageheader) and never conclude "no jobs" from a single call. First confirm the call returned HTTP 2xx with a JSON body — a CLI/auth/network error (or a shell-quoting bug) whose output is parsed as an empty list is a silent false-negative that turns 100+ jobs into "0". Jobs are workspace-scoped and theirpath/notebookPathare rooted at/Workspace/.... See the reliability conventions in references/oci-raw-request.md.
When to use
- "Build a pipeline / job", "run it daily", "trigger job X", "why/what did run Y do", "cancel run Z".
Endpoints (oci raw-request, control-plane)
Author: GET /workspaces/{ws}/jobs (list) · POST /workspaces/{ws}/jobs (create) ·
GET|PUT|DELETE /workspaces/{ws}/jobs/{key} (read / fetch-modify-put update / delete).
Run/monitor: POST /workspaces/{ws}/jobs/{key}/actions/run (trigger) ·
GET …/jobs/{key}/jobRuns and GET …/jobRuns/{runId} (run status + task-to-task-run mapping) ·
task runs + output (taskRuns / task-run output under the run) for executed code, stdout, notebook cells.
REST run/monitor sub-shapes (
jobRuns, per-task output field names) are probe-first per references/no-mcp-rest-map.md — a bare path returns a400naming the missing param. Don't present a sub-path as confirmed until a live 2xx; verify before destructive ops.
Authoring a job — TWO-STEP create→update (LIVE-VERIFIED 2026-06-10)
A job is created with a name-only body, then a second update-job call adds clusters + tasks. A single
POST that inlines tasks/displayName is rejected (400 Invalid resource name / Invalid Task type).
Confirmed live on aidp_skilltest and via the official SDK sample workflow_notebook_job_sample.py.
- Step 1 — create (name-only):
POST …/workspaces/<ws>/jobswith{"name":"etl_daily.job","path":"/Workspace/Shared","maxConcurrentRuns":1}→ 201, returns the job key. (Usename— a resource name, notdisplayName; names allow letters/_/.and must start with a letter.) - Step 2 — update (add clusters + tasks):
PUT …/workspaces/<ws>/jobs/<key>withjobClusters+tasks: - Discriminator is
type(NOTEBOOK_TASK/PYTHON_TASK/…), nottaskType.dependsOndefines the DAG. clusterNamepitfall: the per-taskcluster.clusterNamemust be the real cluster name, not a UUID (a UUID →WORKFLOW_EXECUTION_0049 Cluster not found); pair it withclusterKey.- Schedule: add a cron expression in the update body for recurring runs. Persist bodies to
.aidp/payloads/. - The official
aidp workflow create-job/update-jobCLI wraps these two steps.
Live-verified 2026-06-10 on de-agent — correction: the Step-2
PUT …/jobs/<key>is a full replace, not a merge — the update body MUST re-sendname+path+maxConcurrentRunsalongsidejobClusters/tasks. Omittingnamereturns400 InvalidParameter("name must not be null").
Run & monitor
POST …/jobs/{key}/actions/run→ returns a run;GET …/jobRuns/{runId}for status + task-to-task-run mapping.GET …/jobRuns(filter by job key) for history; drill into a run for per-task status/type/duration.- Read a task run's output (executed code + stdout / notebook cells) for results & debugging.
- To stop a running job,
POSTthe run's cancel action.
Live-verified 2026-06-10 on de-agent — corrections (full create→run→SUCCESS→delete lifecycle):
- Run trigger:
POST …/jobs/{key}/actions/runreturns 404 on the20240831instance. The WORKING trigger isPOST …/workspaces/{ws}/jobRunswith body{"jobKey":"<key>"}→ 201. TreatPOST …/jobRuns {jobKey}as the verified trigger;actions/runis a probe only.- Task-run output: read via
GET …/taskRuns/{key}(200, hasoutputKey) +POST …/taskRuns/{key}/actions/fetchOutput(200, NOTEBOOK payload). Job-executed notebooks may persist empty cells, so confirm results from taskstate/stateMessage(e.g. "Successfully executed notebook…"), not from the fetched cell output.
Recipe — run a notebook as a job, end-to-end (the official AI-skill demo flow)
This is how AIDP runs a notebook workload (job-based; the CLI/SDK does not execute cells interactively —
for that use scripts/aidp_sql.py). Mirrors the official Codex demo:
- Preconditions: the notebook exists (
aidp-notebooks) and the target cluster is ACTIVE (aidp-cluster-ops). - Create the job (two-step, per "Authoring a job" above) — persist bodies, confirm, then:
- Start the run:
aidp workflow create-job-run --instance-id <OCID> … --body '{"jobKey":"<JOB_KEY>"}'→ returns a run key. - Poll to terminal: loop
aidp workflow get-job-run … <RUN_KEY>every few seconds untilSUCCESS/FAILED/CANCELED(PENDING → RUNNING → terminal). - Fetch output + summarize: on SUCCESS,
aidp workflow fetch-output/export-task-run-outputfor the task run, and summarize the report the notebook produced (not just the run status). On FAILED →aidp-spark-debugging.
Task types, retries, streaming, repair & parameters (platform-ref §10–11)
Task types beyond NOTEBOOK_TASK/PYTHON_TASK: If/Else (conditional branching on a condition),
Nested Job (embed another job's tasks as one node), JAR (Scala/Java — JDK/Scala/Spark version must
match the cluster runtime). Tasks can depend on success or failure of a parent; tasks sharing a parent
run in parallel.
Retry policy (per task): retryCount (max attempts), retryInterval (wait between), retryOnTimeout
(retry if the task exceeds its time limit). Streaming task: mark the notebook/python task Streaming —
disables execution timeout + task dependencies, runs continuously until stopped, auto-restarts at monthly
maintenance; set Max Concurrent Runs = 1. Scheduling min frequency is 30 min. Run statuses include
SKIPPED (prior run still active) and TIMED_OUT.
Repair a failed run (rerun only the failed/selected tasks, don't re-run the whole DAG):
(SDK workflow.repair_job_run; {{job.repair_count}} increments per repair — confirm the body live before use.)
Parameterization — precedence Job Run > Task > Job (runtime overrides task, task overrides job; job
params are immutable during task execution). Reference system parameters with {{…}} in task
configs/paths: {{job.id}},{{job.name}},{{job.run_id}},{{job.repair_count}},{{job.parameters.[name]}},
{{job.trigger.type}},{{job.trigger.file_arrival.location}} (file-arrival trigger),{{task.name}},
{{task.run_id}},{{task.execution_count}},{{tasks.[name].result_state}} (success/failed/skipped/…),
{{tasks.[name].error_code}},{{workspace.id}},{{hub.region}}. For passing computed values notebook→notebook
inside a task, see oidlUtils.notebook.run/exit in aidp-notebooks.
Workflow
- Confirm the notebook(s)/python file(s) exist (
aidp-notebooks/aidp-workspace-files) and the cluster. - Build the task DAG (deps, schedule); show the user the JSON job spec before creating.
POSTto create, trigger a test run, poll the run to terminal, read task output.- On failure, route to
aidp-spark-debugging(logs + Spark UI) with the failing task run. - Clean up test jobs (
DELETE …/jobs/{key}) when validating.
Interactive SQL (only if a task needs a quick check)
For ad-hoc Spark-SQL outside a job, use the bundled helper — no MCP required:
It mints a UPST from the api_key DEFAULT profile and returns JSON (status/outputs/spark_job_ids). Production pipeline steps belong in a notebook/python task driven by the Job, not this helper.
