Overview

The Estimate Content Size feature reports job progress during transfer. This option is defined in your job configuration within the source or destination (sync jobs only) connection.  

Options include:

• size_estimate:count
• size_estimate:bytes

Job progress can be monitored using the following endpoint.

GET {{url}}v1/jobs/{{job}}?fields=all

Under execution:progress

Job JSON Count Example

The following example uses 1000 files. When 500 files have been transferred to the destination, the execution progress will report 0.5 or 50%.

{
  "name":"Basic Job with Job Progress by Size Estimate Count",
  "kind": "transfer",
  "transfer": {
    "audit_level": "trace",
      "transfer_type": "copy",
      "source": {
        "connection": { "id": "{{nfs_connection}}" },
		"size_estimate": {
        	"count": 1000
		},
        "target": {
          "path": "/sourcePath"
		}
      },
      "destination": {
        "connection": { "id": "{{cloud_connection_destination}}" },
        "target": {
          "path": "/destinationPath"
        }
      }
  },
  "schedule": {
    "mode": "manual"
  }
}

Job JSON Byte Example

The following example uses 1073741824 bytes (1GB). When 536870912 bytes have been transferred to the destination, the execution progress will report 0.5 or 50%.

{
  "name":"Basic Job with Job Progress by Size Estimate Bytes",
  "kind": "transfer",
  "transfer": {
    "audit_level": "trace",
      "transfer_type": "copy",
      "source": {
        "connection": { "id": "{{nfs_connection}}" },
		"size_estimate": {
        	"bytes": 1073741824
		},
        "target": {
          "path": "/sourcePath"
    	}
      },
      "destination": {
        "connection": { "id": "{{cloud_connection_destination}}" },
        "target": {
          "path": "/destinationPath"
        }
      }
  },
  "schedule": {
    "mode": "manual"
