Perform the following steps to create a Spark schedule:

  1. In General Tab:

    • Enter a name in the Schedule Name text field. This field is optional. If it is left blank, a system-generated ID is set as the schedule name.

    • In the Tags text field, add one or a maximum of six tags to group commands together. Tags help in identifying commands. Each tag can contain a maximum of 20 characters. It is an optional field.

    • In the command field, select Spark Command from the drop-down list. By default, Scala is selected as the programming language in the drop-down list that contains Command Line, Python, SQL, R and Notebook. Select a language from the list. Enter the query in the text field. The following figure illustrates a Spark Scala query.

      You can schedule a notebook to run only if it’s associated with a cluster. Use the Notebooks page to compose notebook paragraphs.

      For more information, see Running Spark Notebooks in a Schedule and Run a Spark Notebook from the Analyze Query Composer.

  2. Add macros, and set parameters and notifications by following the steps as described in Creating a New Schedule.
