skip activity

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

We have multiple pipelines/notebooks to be run one after the other. However, sometimes based on condition we want to skip the activity.

If/Else Activity is an option to do that, but the entire visual flow is now If/Else activitie in sequence. Any better way to do it?

Hi @Anonymous,

I suggest you can build a small framework that reads json config files (or you can put it in some table in WH as well) and runs the activities based on json config. For example, let's say you have 15 notebooks to run and some of the notebooks have some sequential activity that is based on if condition. 

You could put all the 15 notebooks and their corresponding sequences in a json config file/WH Table. Have a lookup to read that metadata and then pass it to for-each. Inside for-each you can choose to have the notebook run and then the if-else condition. 

This way your pipeline becomes scalable and easier to maintain.
