Viewing Bolt Schedule List

The Bolt home page provides a summarized list of all the schedules configured in your Paradime workspace.

Bolt Schedules created through the paradime_schedules.yml file are available in the Bolt UI and can also be reconfigured there. However, schedules created directly in the Bolt UI are not version-controlled and will not appear in the paradime_schedules.yml file.

Here you can view preview details of each schedule, including:

Column	Description	Example Value(s)
Name	Name of the schedule	"production run"
Status	Current run status of the schedule	Success, Error, No Runs, Running
Owner	The owner of the schedule (if configured)	[e-mail]
Cron Description	The time of day (UTC time) that the schedule runs, defined by cron configuration.	OFF, At 00:00, every day (UTC)
Cron Configuration	The cron syntax of the scheduled run.	OFF, @daily, 0 8 * * *
Last Run	Date and time of when the schedule was last triggered	October 31, 2024 at 5:00 PM PDT
Next Run	Date and time the scheduler will trigger next	November 1, 2024 at 5:00 PM PDT
Trigger Type	How your schedule is triggered	On Schedule, On run completion,
On completion Configuration	Details on how your On Run Completion is configured (If applicable)	schedule medium in workspace max on status passed

Use this list to view all schedule names parsed, including any schedules configured as code.

Modifying Existing Schedules

1. Navigate to the Bolt UI and select the schedule you wish to edit.

2. Click “Edit” to access the schedule's configuration settings.

3. Update any necessary schedule parameters, including Schedule Type, Commands, Trigger Type, and Notifications.

4. Deploy your changes to save the updated configuration.

Alternatively, you can modify schedules directly in the paradime_schedules.yml file within your dbt™️ project. For details, refer to View a Schedule’s YAML Code

Managing Scheduled Runs

Bolt offers four trigger types for schedules:

Trigger a manual run

In addition to automatic executions, you can trigger manual runs for Bolt Schedules as needed:

1. Navigate to the Bolt UI and select the specific schedule.

2. Click the Run button in the top right corner to initiate a new run.

Cancel running schedule

While the schedule is active, click the Cancel button next to the currently running schedule.

Pause a Schedule

To temporarily disable a schedule:

Understanding Schedule States

Bolt schedules can be either Active or Archived. Active schedules can be found in the main schedule list, while archived schedules are accessible via the "Active Schedules" dropdown menu.

About Archived Schedules

A schedule becomes archived when:

• It is removed from the paradime_schedules.yml file

• It is deleted through the Bolt User Interface

• Its name is changed (the schedule with the old name becomes archived)

To restore an archived schedule:

• Schedule created via UI: Access the archived schedule, click Edit, and deploy again

• Schedules created via code: Add the schedule back to paradime_schedules.yml using its original name

To access the code for each method:

1. Click on the Bolt schedule name to view the schedule details.

2. Click Edit.

3. Click “</> Code” to view the YAML, Airflow, and Python code options.
