databricks cli to update job schedule

Question

I have configured the Databricks cli locally and able to connect to the Azure Databricks cluster. Link reference used for my workstation - git

• Below command list the jobs successfully with the id

$ databricks jobs list --profile dev

Say if I wanted to update only the schedule (cron expression) to a specific job which is already deployed in workspace, i don't see any option to do it using databricks CLI.

Note: In my case the the jobs are created using job definition json, is used to create the jobs in the cluster. This json doesn't have the schedule info to start with.

Is there are any options available to update only schedule, after the job is created or deployed in the workspace?

There is an option to run the command immediately, databricks jobs run-now.

The REST API configuration https://docs.databricks.com/dev-tools/api/latest/jobs.html#operation/JobsCreate

UPDATE

Databricks has release a new version of their CLI which is backward incompatible (more details on migration) The new version is >= 0.205 (last legacy <= 0.18)

In the new CLI the commands look like:

databricks jobs get 1234 > my-job.json

# my-job.json should contain the job_id parameter
databricks jobs reset --json @path/to/my-job.json 

---

Original answer for legacy version of CLI.

To update the job use the databricks jobs reset command.

Databricks Azure jobs CLI docs

Documentation claims that partial updates are possible, but whenever I try to only update the schedule it complains about parameters missing.

A way around it is to read the job settings first and then editing the job json before updating:

databricks jobs get --job-id 1234 > my-job.json

then update the my-job.json and use it with reset command:

databricks jobs reset --job-id 1234 --json-file my-job.json
