Schedule a process via an external trigger

Sometimes, a RapidMiner process has to be triggered when something external happens:

  • A process in a different tool finishes.
  • A cron job runs in the operating system.
  • Multiple tools are orchestrated by a workflow manager, like Control-M.
  • A file is modified.

In those cases, the best way to proceed is to run a script using the REST API. For example, the following curl command runs a process immediately:

curl -X POST "http://$RMServerHost/api/v1/schedules" \
     -H "accept: application/json" \
     -H "Authorization: bearer $idToken" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d "{\"job\":{\"location\":\"$pathToProcess\",\"queueName\":\"DEFAULT\",\"revision\":1,\"startAt\": 0,\"force\":true,\"reportError\":true}}\""
