Check status of AWS job

You have the choice of using the ListJobs / DescribeJobs APIs to poll for status.

ListJobsResult listJobs(ListJobsRequest listJobsRequest) Returns a list of AWS Batch jobs.

You must specify only one of the following items:

• A job queue ID to return a list of jobs in that job queue
• A multi-node parallel job ID to return a list of that job's nodes
• An array job ID to return a list of that job's children

You can filter the results by job status with the jobStatus parameter. If you don't specify a status, only RUNNING jobs are returned.

Or you can listen for the CloudWatch Events which are emitted as jobs transition from one state to another if you prefer an event-driven architecture.

ListJobsRequest

For solving this problem, I have created separate thread callable thread where looped until status of Job is SUCCEDED and FAILED. Extracted the job status based on job id using describe job API.

class ReturnJobStatus implements Callable<String>
{
public String Callable()
{
   while(!(jobStatus.equals("SUCCEEDED") || (jobStatus.equals("FAILED")))
   {
     // extracts job status using describeJob API after passing jobId
     Thread.currentThread().sleep(2000);
   }
  return jobStatus;
}
