Description
Run and monitor existing (B2C/demandware/SFCC) jobs using the b2c cli, import/export site archives (IMPEX). Always reference when using the CLI to run jobs, import or export site archives, check job execution status, or trigger search indexing. For creating new jobs, use b2c-custom-job-steps skill instead.

B2C Job Skill

Use the b2c CLI plugin to run existing jobs and import/export site archives on Salesforce B2C Commerce instances.

Tip: If b2c is not installed globally, use npx @salesforce/b2c-cli instead (e.g., npx @salesforce/b2c-cli job run).

Creating a new job? If you need to write custom job step code (batch processing, scheduled tasks, data sync), use the b2c:b2c-custom-job-steps skill instead.

Examples

Run a Job

# run a job and return immediately
b2c job run my-custom-job

# run a job and wait for completion
b2c job run my-custom-job --wait

# run a job with a timeout (in seconds)
b2c job run my-custom-job --wait --timeout 600

# run a job with parameters (standard jobs)
b2c job run my-custom-job -P "SiteScope={\"all_storefront_sites\":true}" -P OtherParam=value

# show job log if the job fails
b2c job run my-custom-job --wait --show-log

Run System Jobs with Custom Request Bodies

Some system jobs (like search indexing) use non-standard request schemas. Use --body to provide a raw JSON request body:

# run search index job for specific sites
b2c job run sfcc-search-index-product-full-update --wait --body '{"site_scope":["RefArch","SiteGenesis"]}'

# run search index job for a single site
b2c job run sfcc-search-index-product-full-update --wait --body '{"site_scope":["RefArch"]}'

Note: --body and -P are mutually exclusive.

Import Site Archives

The job import command automatically waits for the import job to complete before returning. It does not use the --wait option.

# import a local directory as a site archive
b2c job import ./my-site-data

# import a local zip file
b2c job import ./export.zip

# keep the archive on the instance after import
b2c job import ./my-site-data --keep-archive

# import an archive that already exists on the instance (in Impex/src/instance/)
b2c job import existing-archive.zip --remote

# show job log on failure
b2c job import ./my-site-data --show-log

Export Site Archives

# export site data using the job export command
b2c job export

Search Job Executions

# search for job executions
b2c job search

# search with JSON output
b2c job search --json

Wait for Job Completion

# wait for a specific job execution to complete
b2c job wait <execution-id>
