JobList does not filter by "NumToRetrieve" property

Hi,

I am using JobList to retrieve the list of inbound fax jobs. We receive hundreds of faxes everyday and so I filter the max jobs to 100 using "NumToRetrieve" property apart from "JobEntryWindow" filter. however, i noticed that the jobs now use two domains "xsi" and "sxsi" may be because of which "NumToRetrieve" is ignored and I always get "LAST_IN_XDN_MORE" at the end of the job list result. due to this my program goes into a loop and keeps fetching jobs from using the last job id as the StartJobID.

Now, in situations where the jobs can belong to multiple domains, how do i use both "JobEntryWindow" filter and "NumToRetrieve" filter?

thanks.

NumToRetrieve applies seperately to each Domain, so you will get up to 100 from xsi and up to 100 from sxsi. If you only want to process a 100 at a time you will have to make two calls and specify the Domain in the calls.

If there are more than 100 jobs to retrieve you will get the LAST_IN_XDN_MORE marker in the last one retrieved.

so, if we have jobs in two domains, is there a possibility that the same job number could appear in both the domains on same day?

Yes, it is theoretically possible for the same job number to appear in each domain on the same day - very unlikely, but possible.

In general all of your software that keeps track of job number should be tracking the entire JobId returned by the API - the combination if MRN and Job Number are guaranteed to be unique for at least a couple of months.
