A job resource instance occurs in response to an asynchronous request that results in a 202 Accepted HTTP return code. This response body contains the id attribute and self-link for the job resource instance. You can query the job resource instance to find out whether the job completed and to get the response to the asynchronous request. For a description of the job resource type, see the job topic in the Unisphere Management REST API Reference Guide.

The following example returns a job resource instance in response to a successful asynchronous request.
