FormTrainingAsyncClient Class

  • java.lang.Object
    • com.azure.ai.formrecognizer.training.FormTrainingAsyncClient

public final class FormTrainingAsyncClient

This class provides an asynchronous client to connect to the Form Recognizer Azure Cognitive Service.

This client provides asynchronous methods to:

  1. Train a custom model: Train a custom model to analyze and extract data from forms and documents specific to your business using the beginTraining(String trainingFilesUrl, boolean useTrainingLabels) method.
  2. Copy custom model: Copy a custom Form Recognizer model to a target Form Recognizer resource using the beginCopyModel(String modelId, CopyAuthorization target) method.
  3. List custom models: Get information about all custom models using the getCustomModel(String modelId) and listCustomModels() methods respectively.
  4. Polling and Callbacks: It includes mechanisms for polling the service to check the status of an analysis operation or registering callbacks to receive notifications when the analysis is complete.

Note: This client only supports V2_1 and lower. Recommended to use a newer service version, DocumentModelAdministrationClient and DocumentModelAdministrationAsyncClient.

Refer to the Migration guide to use API versions 2022-08-31 and up.

Service clients are the point of interaction for developers to use Azure Form Recognizer. FormTrainingClient is the synchronous service client and FormTrainingAsyncClient is the asynchronous service client. The examples shown in this document use a credential object named DefaultAzureCredential for authentication, which is appropriate for most scenarios, including local development and production environments. Additionally, we recommend using managed identity for authentication in production environments. You can find more information on different ways of authenticating and their corresponding credential types in the Azure Identity documentation".

Sample: Construct a FormTrainingAsyncClient with DefaultAzureCredential

The following code sample demonstrates the creation of a FormTrainingAsyncClient, using the `DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder` to configure it.

FormTrainingAsyncClient client = new FormTrainingClientBuilder()
     .endpoint("{endpoint}")
     .credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
     .buildAsyncClient();

Further, see the code sample below to use AzureKeyCredential for client creation.

FormTrainingAsyncClient formTrainingAsyncClient = new FormTrainingClientBuilder()
     .credential(new AzureKeyCredential("{key}"))
     .endpoint("{endpoint}")
     .buildAsyncClient();

Method Details

beginCopyModel

public PollerFlux beginCopyModel(String modelId, CopyAuthorization target)

Copy a custom model stored in this resource (the source) to the user specified target Form Recognizer resource.

This should be called with the source Form Recognizer resource (with the model that is intended to be copied). The target parameter should be supplied from the target resource's output from getCopyAuthorization(String resourceId, String resourceRegion) method.

The service does not support cancellation of the long running operation and returns with an error message indicating absence of cancellation support.

Code sample

String resourceId = "target-resource-Id";
 String resourceRegion = "target-resource-region";
 String copyModelId = "copy-model-Id";
 formTrainingAsyncClient.getCopyAuthorization(resourceId, resourceRegion)
     .flatMapMany(copyAuthorization -> formTrainingAsyncClient.beginCopyModel(copyModelId, copyAuthorization))
     .flatMap(AsyncPollResponse::getFinalResult)
     .subscribe(customFormModelInfo ->
         System.out.printf("Copied model has model Id: %s, model status: %s, training started on: %s,"
             + " training completed on: %s.%n",
         customFormModelInfo.getModelId(),
         customFormModelInfo.getStatus(),
         customFormModelInfo.getTrainingStartedOn(),
         customFormModelInfo.getTrainingCompletedOn()));

Parameters:

modelId - Model identifier of the model to copy to the target Form Recognizer resource
target - the copy authorization to the target Form Recognizer resource. The copy authorization can be generated from the target resource's call to getCopyAuthorization(String resourceId, String resourceRegion)

Returns:

A PollerFlux<T,U> that polls the copy model operation until it has completed, has failed, or has been cancelled. The completed operation returns the copied model CustomFormModelInfo.

beginCopyModel

public PollerFlux beginCopyModel(String modelId, CopyAuthorization target, Duration pollInterval)

Copy a custom model stored in this resource (the source) to the user specified target Form Recognizer resource.

This should be called with the source Form Recognizer resource (with the model that is intended to be copied). The target parameter should be supplied from the target resource's output from getCopyAuthorization(String resourceId, String resourceRegion) method.

The service does not support cancellation of the long running operation and returns with an error message indicating absence of cancellation support.

Code sample

String resourceId = "target-resource-Id";
 String resourceRegion = "target-resource-region";
 String copyModelId = "copy-model-Id";
 formTrainingAsyncClient.getCopyAuthorization(resourceId, resourceRegion)

             customFormModelInfo.getModelId(),
             customFormModelInfo.getStatus(),
             customFormModelInfo.getTrainingStartedOn(),
             customFormModelInfo.getTrainingCompletedOn()));

Parameters:

modelId - Model identifier of the model to copy to the target Form Recognizer resource
target - the copy authorization to the target Form Recognizer resource. The copy authorization can be generated from the target resource's call to getCopyAuthorization(String resourceId, String resourceRegion)
