dbt Cloud - Trigger Job and Download Results to Platform

Overview​

A Vessel built with this Blueprint will kick off a single job on dbt Cloud and check for the status every 30 seconds. Once the status is confirmed to be completed, Platform will attempt to download all of the logs and artifacts.

The final status of this Vessel in Platform will reflect the status of the run in dbt Cloud.

The "cause" for an execution triggered via Platform will always contain the following details:

  • Fleet ID
  • Vessel ID
  • Vessel Log ID

Note: This is considered an "all-in-one" Blueprint for the other 3 dbt Cloud Blueprints. By using this Blueprint, you will accumulate runtime as the Vessel continuously waits for the job to be completed. The tradeoff is that results may be quicker and the setup/complexity is less.

If you want to reduce the overall runtime you're billed for, you will need to instead set up a Fleet with Vessels built with these blueprints in this order:

Execute Job -> Check Run Status -> Download Artifacts & Logs
