Available DataMapper, Merge and Weaver engine query for jobs

[james123456]

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well.

I wanted to ask whether there is an endpoint in the API that allows us to check for available engines before submitting a job. Ideally, I’d like to be able to query the system to see if there are any engines free to process new jobs, especially when other jobs are already running.

This would help with prioritizing and managing job submissions more effectively.

Lets take the below sample server configuration:

Thanks in advance for your help.

Kind regards,
James.

Hello @james123456,

It isn’t possible to retrieve this information by a REST API call. However, you could run the following REST API calls to get a list of all the active workflow operations:

• Data Mapping Service
• Content Creation (Print) Service
• Job Creation Service (Optional)
• Output Creation Service

Hi @Marten,

Thank you for this, I have already used this in a custom program but hit a wall trying to know the total and the left engines etc.

I would like to suggest this feature to be added into connect, I’m sure version 2026 is almost wrapping up.
