Exam DBDEA Topics: jobs Difficulty: easy

A source system that feeds a nightly Lakeflow Job will undergo maintenance tomorrow, and the team decides the job should not fire while the data is unstable. Today's run has already started and is still in progress. The job definition, its run history, and next week's schedule must all be preserved. What should the team do?

Options (Reading Mode) Click to filter discussion →
  1. A. Cancel the in-progress run immediately, because pausing a job also kills every run that is still active
  2. B. Pause the job's scheduled trigger: it stops starting new runs, and the active run still finishes
  3. C. Remove the schedule from the job definition and re-enter it by hand after the maintenance window
  4. D. Delete the job and rebuild it after maintenance, because stopping firings requires deleting the job
