Parent/child pipeline execute

ryan

Objective:
Create a parent/child pipeline, where the parent pipeline calls the child pipeline once for every group/list/document of parameters set up in parent to dynamically change the child’s parameters for each run.

Example Concept:
parent pipeline with csv/json generator to create parameter sets >>> parent pipeline execute the child pipeline with param set1 >>> child pipeline runs with param from set 1 >>> parent pipeline execute the child pipeline with param set 2 >>>child pipeline runs with param from set 2 >>> parent pipeline execute the child pipeline with param set 3 >>> child pipeline runs with param from set 3…etc

Questions/Observations:

  1. pipeline failed for open output snap. Actions: closed all input/output in child
  2. pipeline failed for null parameter. Actions: None yet
  3. a. Docs say ‘’ should prefix param values. Actions: No change in failure after '’ prefixed
    b. Docs say ‘z’ should prefix child pipeline name: Action: No change in failure after ‘z’ prefixed
  4. Docs say dont use Rest get to trigger child if you dont have to. Case when needed would be if param string too long? Actions: None yet, but i do have a parameter of 250 characters. No doc info on what is too long.
  5. Should Rest api trigger child in the case?
  6. Should there be a pipeline execute snap for each param set or can 1 be used?
  7. Should params be set in child pipeline properties too?
  8. Examples would be helpful.

Child:

Furthermore: As you can see from child pipeline there is a snap connector that has a 17 appearing for unknown reasons and not connected to anything. No error from this though because the execution hasnt made it to that point so I am unsure if that would even matter but seems a bit random as I did not add it.
