Retrieve Single Job (Tracking Bulk Async)

Method

To retrieve complete tracking data for an email send, use the following syntax. Note that the use of a date range, shown in this code sample, is optional.

<system>
    <system_name>tracking</system_name>
    <action>BulkAsync</action>
    <sub_action>all_ToFTP</sub_action>
    <search_type>jobID</search_type>
    <search_value>39408</search_value>
    <search_value2/>
    <daterange>
        <startdate>1/1/2010</startdate>
        <enddate>1/31/2010</enddate>
    </daterange>
</system>

If you want to include the attribute data for each subscriber who contributed to this email send's tracking data, use the following syntax. Note that this sample does not show the date range option, which can be added (follow the syntax shown above).

<system>
    <system_name>tracking</system_name>
    <action>BulkAsync</action>
    <sub_action>all_attributes_ToFTP</sub_action>
    <search_type>jobID</search_type>
    <search_value>39408</search_value>
    <search_value2/>
</system>

With this call, you also have the option of picking up the resulting file from your own FTP site rather than from the ExactTarget secure FTP site, by including the <results> node in your call. See the Output for a Batch File Export (Bulk Async) Call help topic for the syntax to use.

Results

The immediate results of this call will be a confirmation message and the batch ID for this request, as described in Output for a Batch File Export (Bulk Async) Call. Use the batch ID to check on the status of the request; see Batch Inquire (Status Check).

The zipped file that will be deposited to the secure FTP site (or to your own FTP site, if you used the <results> node in your call) will contain the same XML output that you receive for the Tracking Retrieve (Bulk Export) method; see that topic for details.
