I'm trying to add 2 notebooks to a Databricks Job. Instead of the first command in both notebooks being a connection to an RDS/Redshift cluster, I'd prefer to make that connection once and have it shared across both notebooks without using the %run command (I'd rather see both notebooks as tasks in my job/workflow)</P><P></P><P>thanks!</P><P>Brad</P><P></P><P>UPDATE: I set 2 parameters at the Job level and in each notebook, I just added: myvariablename = dbutils.widgets.get("param1name") and then the same myvariablename2 = dbutils.widgets.get("param2name"). BUT is there a better/best practice way of doing this?</P> Mon, 15 Aug 2022 17:30:53 GMT BradSheridan 2022-08-15T17:30:53Z https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/workflow-parameters/m-p/34551#M25293 <P>Hey everyone!
