Update jobs parameter, when running, from API

Alessandro — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 09:06:54 GMT

Hi,

When a Job is running, I would like to change the parameters with an API call.

I know that I can set parameters value from API when I start a job from API, or that I can update the default value if the job isn't running, but I didn't find an API call to update parameters value mid run.

Do someone knows if it is possible with Databricks API, or I have to create a custom API?

Thank's

No, there is currently no option to change parameters while the job is running, from the UI you will be able to modify them but it wont affect the current run, it will be applied on the new job runs you trigger.

Hi, Alessandro, I am trying to set job parameters value from API when I start a job from API call within python notebook, however, it has never succeeded, the job can be triggered, but always with job parameters' default values instead values from API call. Can you help share your code example ? Or what other settings/permission are needed to achieve this ?

Thank you very much !
