Jobs¶
Many of the commands that are issued against the DDEV-Live platform are processed as a job. In each instance of a command that generates a job you will be given a job ID that allows you to track the status of the job. When a job is complete it is not deleted so that you can continue to check it's status as necessary.
Getting a Job ID¶
The following example generates a job as a result of performing a database backup against a site named mysite for the ddev-demo organization. The job ID will always bethe last line of output that is returned once a command is executed. In this example, the job ID is ddev-demo/mysite-h9fqh.
$ ddev-live backup database mysite
Initiated database backup: ddev-demo/mysite-h9fqh
Getting a Job's Details¶
ddev-live describe is used to view more details about a specific job. You can describe jobs related to backups, databases, execs, restores, and sites.
The following command describes a database backup that was successfully generated for the mysite site against the ddev-demo organization.
$ ddev-live describe backup database mysite-jtsg8
