name : start-pii-entities-detection-job.rst **To start an asynchronous PII detection job** The following ``start-pii-entities-detection-job`` example starts an asynchronous personal identifiable information (PII) entities detection job for all files located at the address specified by the ``--input-data-config`` tag. 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`` which list the named entities within each text file. The Json output is printed on one line per file, but is formatted here for readability. :: aws comprehend start-pii-entities-detection-job \ --job-name entities_test \ --language-code en \ --input-data-config "S3Uri=s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/" \ --output-data-config "S3Uri=s3://amzn-s3-demo-destination-bucket/testfolder/" \ --data-access-role-arn arn:aws:iam::111122223333:role/service-role/AmazonComprehendServiceRole-example-role \ --language-code en \ --mode ONLY_OFFSETS Contents of ``Sampletext1.txt``:: "Hello Zhang Wei, I am John.
