I was checking through the list of possible job status for an asynchronous (Data Virtualization) workflow I have going and didn’t find a definition for ‘complete’, or a comparison of that value to ‘success’.  I was referring to the REST API V4 documentation here: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/38420159907213-Submitting-a-Job-through-the-FME-Flow-REST-API-V4

 

Would someone with familiarity around those statuses be able to clarify the meaning of ‘complete’ and how it contrasts to ‘success.  AI relented from guessing and admitted it didn’t know.

 

An update to this is that ‘complete’ is not listed in the OpenAPI spec for the FME Flow REST API V4, so at this stage is the documentation incorrect?

          "status": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The current status of this job",
"enum": [
"queued",
"running",
"success",
"failure",
"cancelled"
]
},
