HOW TO SKIP A STEP FROM AN EXISTING WORKFLOW

17abhishek — Fri, 13 Dec 2024 09:37:46 GMT

Hi, can any one guide me in below scenario:

Suppose we have created a workflow with 10 steps and our batches are running properly but due to some business requirement/testing purpose we have to skip step 4 and run the rest of job from step 5 onwords till step 10 for next 5 to 10 days.

So, for that i checked there no option to disable particular step from workflow job and rest will remain run the same.

Can someone provide detailed information about it how we can skip the particular step.

Regards,

Abhishek Upadhyay

Hi @17abhishek ,

You can try if/else conditions between the tasks with a Job parameter of "IsActiveTask" with a True or False.
But it would be great if databricks team just add ability to simply disable some task from UI.

Hi agreed with you because previous when I’m using SSMS there is functionality to enable or disable particular steps from job.
