What is the syntax for starting a sqoop2 job?

Question

i've set up a sqoop2 job, and i'm trying to start it like so:

~]$ sqoop2
Sqoop home directory: /usr/lib/sqoop2
Sqoop Shell: Type 'help' or '\h' for help.

sqoop:000> submission start
Exception has occurred during processing command 
Unknown command: No such property: start for class: groovysh_evaluate

which seems to be incorrect. help lists start as a command, so i tried this:

sqoop:000> start 2
The specified function "2" is not recognized.

also seems incorrect.

what is the correct syntax here?

PS:

sqoop:000> show version
client version:
  Sqoop 1.99.2-cdh4.5.0 revision

Based on the documentation, you should use following command:

start job --jid 1

The documentation seems to be accurate - you just need to use the proper one for your exact CDH version. – Jarek Jarcec Cecho Mar 14 '14 at 19:18

In sqoop2 command for jobs:

show job commands: it will help you to watch list of all created jobs.

show job

if you wanna to watch individual job configuration then try

show job -jid 1    # here 1 is < job id number >

Start Job Commands: once you created job you can start job created job id number.

start job -jid 1   # here 1 is < job id number >

Show Submission jobs: Once you started jobs you can watch all jobs submission status. it will also show you previously ran job submission status.

show submission

check individual job status: you can also check current job or previously ran job status by this command.

status job -jid 1    # here 1 is < job id number >
