# Create Job

Using the following SDK method, you can create and submit Jobs to trigger [Job Functions](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/serverless/help/functions/job-functions/), Webhooks, [Circuits](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/serverless/help/circuits/introduction/), and [App Sail](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/serverless/help/appsail/introduction/) services. You can also pass optional arguments in the form of JSON key value pairs.

SDK snippet to create and submit Job to trigger:

**Job Function**

#### Sample Code Snippet 

**Package Imports**

```java
import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobMetaDetail;
import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobBuilder;
import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobDetails;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;
```

```java
// generate function job meta
ZCJobMetaDetail jobMeta = ZCJobBuilder.functionJobBuilder() // get function job builder
    .setJobConfig(2, 15 * 60 l) // set job config - job retries => 2 retries in 15 mins (optional)
    .setTargetName("target_function") // set target function's name (optional) (either TargetName or TargetId is mandatory)
    // .setTargetId(1234567890L) // set the target function's Id (optional) (either TargetName or TargetId is mandatory)
    .setParams(new JSONObject() {
        {
            put("arg1", "job");
            put("arg2", "test");
        }
    }) // set params to be passed to target function (optional)
    .setJobName("job_name") // set job name
    .setJobpoolName("test") // set the name of the Function jobpool to which the job should be submitted
    .build(); // build job meta
// submit function job
ZCJobDetails functionJob = jobScheduling.job.submitJob(jobMeta);

```

**Circuit**

**Ensure the following packages are imported:**

```java

import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobMetaDetail;
import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobBuilder;
import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobDetails;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;

```

```java

// generate circuit job meta
ZCJobMetaDetail jobMeta = ZCJobBuilder.circuitJobBuilder() // create circuit job builder
    .setJobConfig(2, 15 * 60 l) // set job config - job retries => 2 retries in 15 mins (optional)
    .setTargetName("target_circuit") // set target circuits's name (optional) (either TargetName or TargetId is mandatory)
    // .setTargetId(1234567890L) // set the target circuits's Id (optional) (either TargetName or TargetId is mandatory)
    .setCircuitInput(new JSONObject() {
        {
            put("key1", "value1");
            put("key2", "value2");
        }
    }) // set the test cases for the circuit
    .setJobName("test_job") // set job name
    .setJobpoolName("test") // set the name of the Circuit jobpool where the job should be submitted
    .build(); // build circuit job meta
// submit circuit job
ZCJobDetails circuitJob = jobScheduling.job.submitJob(jobMeta);

```

**Webhook**

**Ensure the following packages are imported:**

```java

import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobMetaDetail;
import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobBuilder;
import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobDetails;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;

```

```java

// generate webhook job meta
ZCJobMetaDetail jobMeta = ZCJobBuilder.webhookJobBuilder() // create web hook job builder
    .setJobConfig(2, 15 * 60 l) // set job config - job retries => 2 retries in 15 mins (optional)
    .setRequestMethod("POST") // set web hook request's method
    .setUrl("https://catalyst.zoho.com") // set web hook request's url
    .setParams(new JSONObject() {
        {
            put("arg1", "test");
            put("arg2", "job");
        }
    }) // set the web hook request's query params (optional)
    .setHeaders(new JSONObject() {
        {
            put("IS_TEST_REQUEST", "true");
        }
    }) // set the web hook request's headers (optional)
    .setRequestBody("test_request") // set the web hook request's body (optional)
    .setJobName("test_job") // set job name
    .setJobpoolName("test") // set the name of the Webhook jobpool to which the job should be submitted
    .build(); // build web hook job meta
// submit web hook job
ZCJobDetails webHookJob = jobScheduling.job.submitJob(jobMeta);

```

**AppSail**

**Ensure the following packages are imported:**

```java

import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobMetaDetail;
import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobBuilder;
import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobDetails;
import org.json.simple.JSONObject;

```

```java

// generate appsail job meta
ZCJobMetaDetail jobMeta = ZCJobBuilder.appSailJobBuilder() // create appsail job builder
    .setJobConfig(2, 15 * 60 l) // set job config - job retries => 2 retries in 15 mins (optional)
    .setTargetName("test_appsail") // set appsail name
    .setRequestMethod("POST") // set appsail request method
    .setUrl("/test") // set appsail request url
    .setParams(new JSONObject() {
        {
            put("arg1", "value1");
            put("arg2", "value2");
        }
    }) // set appsail request query params
    .setHeaders(new JSONObject() {
        {
            put("IS_TEST_REQUEST", "true");
        }
    }) // set the appsail request's headers (optional)
    .setRequestBody("test_request") // set the appsail request's body (optional)
    .setJobName("test_job") // set job name
    .setJobpoolName("test") // set the name of the AppSail jobpool to which the job should be submitted
    .build(); // build appsail job meta
// submit appsail job
ZCJobDetails appSailJob = jobScheduling.job.submitJob(jobMeta);

```
