Pass variable from one notebook to another

ADB0513
New Contributor III

I have a main notebook where I am setting a python variable to the name of the catalog I want to work in.  I then call another notebook, using %run, which runs an insert into using a SQL command where I want to specify the catalog using the catalog variable from the main notebook.  What is the best way to accomplish this?  Is there a way to pass the variable to the notebook that is being called from the %run command?  Should I use a widget?  Should I use spark.conf?

 

Thanks in advance for the help.
