Run Job task for jobs

Use the Run Job task to trigger other jobs configured in your Databricks workspace.

Important

Databricks does not support jobs with circular dependencies or that nest more than three Run Job tasks. Databricks might block deploying jobs with this pattern in a future release.

Circular dependencies are Run Job tasks that directly or indirectly trigger each other. For example:

• Job A triggers Job B.

• Job B triggers Job A.

Configure a Run Job task

Add a Run Job task from the Tasks tab in the Jobs UI by doing the following:

1. In the Type drop-down menu, select Run Job.

2. In the Job drop-down menu, select a job to be run by the task. To search for the job to run, start typing the job name in the Job menu.

3. (Optional) Configure Job parameters to be passed to the specified job.

   Job parameters are pushed down. Similar to Run now with different parameters, you can override the default parameters for the specified job.

4. Click Save task.
