20 Lifecycle Controller Integration Best Practices Guide
After the job is complete in Automated Task Application (previously SSM), the job status is immediately updated in the
job store. The job is moved immediately to the Completed state once it is complete in the Automated Task Application.
As seen in the timeline diagram above, after the job is Completed, the sync happens in the configDB, and then the RS
status goes to Reloading state. After all the required populators are refreshed successfully, the RS status goes to Ready
state. The user/console can see the new values only when the RS status goes to the Ready state.

The introduction of the new GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus method alleviates the ambiguity of the GetRSStatus method
regarding when the system is ready.

Note: Dotted lines denote the old behavior. Bold red lines denote the new behavior in 12G.
After the job is complete in the Automated Task Application, those jobs that require a refresh – jobs that have message
IDs –JOB_SUCCESS and JOB_COMPLETED_ERROR will be kept in RUNNING state till the new sync comes in and
the Data Manager is moved to READY state.
Jobs that don’t require a refresh will be moved to complete immediately once the job is complete in the Automated Task
Application.
