# Job - Hello World

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Workshop - Job**

In this workshop, we're going to create & configure a simple Job.

The concepts learnt, help to build the foundation necessary for creating any Job.

* Create a new Job.
* Add entries and configure hops.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="1. START" %}
{% hint style="info" %}
START defines the starting point for job execution. Every job must have one (and only one) Start. Unconditional job hops only are available from a Start job entry. The start job entry settings contain basic scheduling functionality; however, scheduling is not persistent and is only available while the device is running.

The Data Integration Server provides a more robust option for scheduling execution of jobs and transformations and is the preferred alternative to scheduling using the Start step. If you want the job to run like a daemon process, however, enable Repeat in the job settings dialog box.

Note: The basic scheduling functionality and the repeat option are only functional within the main job and not within a sub job.
{% endhint %}

To create a new Job:

1. In Spoon, click File > New > Job.
2. Drag the ‘START’ job entry onto the canvas.
   {% endtab %}

{% tab title="2. Transformation A" %}
{% hint style="info" %}
The Transformation job entry is used to execute a previously defined transformation. For ease of use, it is also possible to create a new transformation within the dialog, pressing the New Transformation button.
{% endhint %}

1. Drag the ‘Transformation’ job entry onto the canvas.
2. Double-click on the step, and configure the following properties:

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="3. Success" %}
{% hint style="info" %}
This step clears any error state encountered in a job and forces it to a success state.
{% endhint %}

1. Drag the ‘Success’ job entry onto the canvas.
   {% endtab %}

{% tab title="4. RUN" %}

1. Click the Run button in the Canvas Toolbar.
2. Click on the Job Metrics tab.
