The username of the user who initiated the job

deliveryService

The xml_id of the Delivery Service on which this job operates

POST

Creates a new Content Invalidation Jobs.

Caution

Creating a Content Invalidation Job immediately triggers a CDN-wide revalidation update. In the case that the global Parameter use_reval_pending has a value of exactly "0", this will instead trigger a CDN-wide “Queue Updates”. This means that Content Invalidation Jobs become active immediately at their startTime - unlike most other configuration changes they do not wait for a Snapshot or a “Queue Updates”. Furthermore, if the global Parameter use_reval_pending is "0", this will cause all pending configuration changes to propagate to all cache servers in the CDN. Take care when using this endpoint.

PUT

Replaces an existing Content Invalidation Job with a new one provided in the request. This method of editing a Content Invalidation Job does not prevent the requesting user from changing fields that normally only have one value. Use with care.

Caution

Modifying a Content Invalidation Job immediately triggers a CDN-wide revalidation update. In the case that the global Parameter use_reval_pending has a value of exactly "0", this will instead trigger a CDN-wide “Queue Updates”. This means that Content Invalidation Jobs become active immediately at their startTime - unlike most other configuration changes they do not wait for a Snapshot or a “Queue Updates”. Furthermore, if the global Parameter use_reval_pending is "0", this will cause all pending configuration changes to propagate to all cache servers in the CDN. Take care when using this endpoint.

DELETE

Deletes a Content Invalidation Job.

Tip

Content Invalidation Jobs that have passed their TTL are not automatically deleted - for record-keeping purposes - so use this to clean up old jobs that are no longer useful.

Caution

Deleting a Content Invalidation Job immediately triggers a CDN-wide revalidation update. In the case that the global Parameter use_reval_pending has a value of exactly "0", this will instead trigger a CDN-wide “Queue Updates”. This means that Content Invalidation Jobs become active immediately at their startTime - unlike most other configuration changes they do not wait for a Snapshot or a “Queue Updates”. Furthermore, if the global Parameter use_reval_pending is "0", this will cause all pending configuration changes to propagate to all cache servers in the CDN. Take care when using this endpoint.

When viewing Content Invalidation Jobs, only those jobs that operate on a Delivery Service visible to the requesting user’s Tenant will be returned. Likewise, creating a new Content Invalidation Jobs requires that the target Delivery Service is modifiable by the requesting user’s Tenant. However, when modifying or deleting an existing Content Invalidation Jobs, the operation can be completed if and only if the requesting user’s Tenant is the same as the job’s Delivery Service’s Tenant or a descendant thereof, and if the requesting user’s Tenant is the same as the Tenant of the user who initially created the job or a descendant thereof.

2(1,2,3)

This field must exist, but it must not be different than the same field of the existing job (i.e. as seen in a GET response). That is, this cannot be changed.
