How to get the Job ID and Run ID and save into a database

[Mohit_m]

We are having Databricks Job running with main class and JAR file in it. Our JAR file code base is in Scala. Now, when our job starts running, we need to log Job ID and Run ID into the database for future purpose. How can we achieve this?

You can pass {job_id}} and {{run_id}} in Job arguments and print that information and save into wherever its needed

please find below the documentation for the same

https://docs.databricks.com/data-engineering/jobs/jobs.html#task-parameter-variables

{{job_id}}

The unique identifier assigned to a job

1276862

{{run_id}}

The unique identifier assigned to a job run

3447843

{{parent_run_id}}

The unique identifier assigned to the run of a job with multiple tasks.

3447835

{{task_key}}

The unique name assigned to a task that’s part of a job with multiple tasks.

That article is for members only, can we also specify here how to do it (for those that are not medium members?). Thanks!
