@Shubham Agagwral​ :

Migrating Notebooks:

• Notebooks can be exported as DBC files, which contain the notebook code, visualizations, and metadata. You can download DBC files from the lower environment.
• In the higher environment, you can import DBC files by uploading them using the Databricks UI or programmatically using the Databricks Workspace API. The API endpoint for importing notebooks is /api/2.0/workspace/import
• Link : https://docs.databricks.com/notebooks/notebooks-manage.html#export-and-import-notebooks

Migrating Jobs with Multiple Tasks:

• For jobs with multiple tasks, you can export the job configuration in JSON format. The job configuration includes information about the job's tasks, clusters, libraries, and scheduling details.
• Use the Databricks CLI (databricks jobs export command) or the REST API ( /api/2.0/jobs/export endpoint) to export the job configuration in JSON format from the lower environment.
• In the higher environment, import the job configuration using the Databricks CLI (databricks jobs import command) or the REST API ( /api/2.0/jobs/import endpoint). The imported job will include all its associated tasks.
• Link: https://docs.databricks.com/api/workspace/jobs#import

Migrating Dashboards:

• Dashboards in Databricks can be exported as JSON files. The JSON file contains the dashboard layout, visualizations, and associated queries.
• Export the dashboard JSON file from the lower environment using the Databricks UI or the REST API (/api/2.0/sql/dashboards/export endpoint).
• Import the dashboard JSON file in the higher environment using the Databricks UI or the REST API ( /api/2.0/sql/dashboards/import endpoint). This will recreate the dashboard with its layout, visualizations, and queries.

Thanks for such detailed information, please find the following doubts:

1) Migrating notebooks: That is fine..

2) Migrating Jobs with Multiple Tasks: That documentation is fine, but whats the exact command to post or get it the jobs... its just mentioned Get/Post /api/2.1/jobs/create/update , whats the exact syntax, how it will authenticate the databricks another system, for instance I am running in local and i want to migrate it from lower environment to higher env. what would be the query(any sample example) which will help to relate it...

3) Migrating Dashboards: I am not able to see any export or import option, or else can you give some reference how to migrate it with rest api

I am providing some documentation related to this.

Migrating Databricks Jobs with Multiple Tasks:

• Databricks REST API: JobsDocumentation: Jobs API - Databricks REST API
  • This documentation provides details about the Jobs API, including the endpoints for creating and updating jobs, authentication requirements, and request/response examples.

@Shubham Agagwral​ : For migrating dashboards have you used terraform to do so?
