Abstract
A combination of physical and logical components of an apparatus to establish a persistent connection over a network with a source that is provided with or part of a job service. The components extract a job instruction embodied in a first communication that is received from the source over the persistent connection, without the apparatus having provided a request for the first communication. Based on the job instruction, the components send a request to the job service for job data when the job service is able to process job data for a corresponding job, without the apparatus polling the job service or waiting for the job service to receive the corresponding job.
