Execute real-time data extraction job

Jobs are automated processes that can be set up in EDC to perform various tasks, triggering them by schedule or manually.

This process ensures you have access to up-to-date data without waiting for the next scheduled run of the extraction job. It also gives you flexibility in handling files, allowing you to directly download files without pushing the data to external servers.

Important

To run the job manually, you must have the Execute permission for the respective job category granted to your user role via ADMIN.
