**To start an asynchronous events detection job** The following ``start-events-detection-job`` example starts an asynchronous events detection job for all files located at the address specified by the ``--input-data-config`` tag. Possible target event types include ``BANKRUPCTY``, ``EMPLOYMENT``, ``CORPORATE_ACQUISITION``, ``INVESTMENT_GENERAL``, ``CORPORATE_MERGER``, ``IPO``, ``RIGHTS_ISSUE``, ``SECONDARY_OFFERING``, ``SHELF_OFFERING``, ``TENDER_OFFERING``, and ``STOCK_SPLIT``. The S3 bucket in this example contains ``SampleText1.txt``, ``SampleText2.txt``, and ``SampleText3.txt``. When the job is complete, the folder, ``output``, is placed in the location specified by the ``--output-data-config`` tag. The folder contains ``SampleText1.txt.out``, ``SampleText2.txt.out``, and ``SampleText3.txt.out``. The JSON output is printed on one line per file, but is formatted here for readability. :: aws comprehend start-events-detection-job \ --job-name events-detection-1 \ --input-data-config "S3Uri=s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/EventsData" \ --output-data-config "S3Uri=s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-DESTINATION-BUCKET/testfolder/" \ --data-access-role-arn arn:aws:iam::111122223333:role/service-role/AmazonComprehendServiceRole-servicerole \ --language-code en \ --target-event-types "BANKRUPTCY" "EMPLOYMENT" "CORPORATE_ACQUISITION" "CORPORATE_MERGER" "INVESTMENT_GENERAL" Contents of ``SampleText1.txt``:: "Company AnyCompany grew by increasing sales and through acquisitions.
