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>
