Autodesk Vault Professional includes automation capabilities known as Job Processor. Job Processing includes a server-side component (Job Server), the Job Queue, and a Job Scheduler. Job Processors are Vault Clients that log on to the server and pick up jobs for execution. Many job types are available as a default but might have good reasons to build your individual custom job.
The SDK template “API Onboarding – Custom Job” provides a pre-coded starting point for new custom jobs. Watch the video below on how to use this template.
The video focused only on initiating and registering a new custom job. For more details on the next steps, leverage the AU Autodesk Vault Programming 101 class. The AU sample implemented a job creating and attaching STEP files for Inventor assemblies; Vault Professional 2024 added this job type as a default, but you may find other export types in a comprehensive code sample on my personal GitHub repository Vault-Sample—InventorExportAnySampleJob
