Commands

After configuring the Triggers and Schedule settings of a Bolt schedule, you add the commands the schedule runs. Commands run in order, so you can chain a full pipeline: sync sources, run dbt™ transformations, run data quality checks, then refresh dashboards. To add a command, open a schedule, click Add command, and pick a command type from the categories below. Each command type has its own modal: some expose structured fields, others accept any command the underlying Paradime CLI supports.

​

Commands execution logic

Paradime follows a specific execution logic to handle errors and decide whether later commands run:

1. Command completes with an error: by default, the remaining commands in the schedule are skipped.
2. Exceptions that still run after an error:
   • Source freshness and source status: if a dbt source freshness command errors and the next command uses the source_status:fresher selector, the next command still runs.
   • Elementary: an Elementary command runs regardless of a previous error, so you can send alerts and generate reports on test failures.
   • Monte Carlo: a Monte Carlo command runs regardless of a previous error, so dbt™ artifacts are always uploaded.
