To be able to run manual jobs and specify specific variables, it's very similar to what we do previously by clicking play, but instead of clicking play, you actually come in here and you have to click on the job name itself. So you can click over here you can click on the name, just don't click on play. Otherwise, it's gonna actually wrote that setting the variable any of the jobs in the em are that say, specify like this you'll be able to. You need to specify the variable to be able to execute the job properly.

You'll see, there's one in the DBT miscellaneous stage. That requires the variable specification as well for the documentation, the variable is going to be DBT models and that's true for the jobs in the DBT run and the jobs in the DBT miscellaneous stage. So we're gonna go to specify model here. You click on it. It's going to take you to a new page. It says this job requires a manual action.

So what we do here is we type in the key which is DBT models, and then here you can specify anything that you would normally put on the DBT command line. So you can specify a single model like s FTC account, but we can also use the @ syntax and specify something like SF DC accounts XF. This will get inserted into the command line statement and it should run just fine. So then, you click trigger this manual action.

The job will be picked up by a runner and we'll sit here and watch this until it spits out the variable and starts the the main job that we're concerned about.

So you can see here it's finding a bunch of stuff beforehand, doing the Python check. It runs DBT, Deb's, DBT seed and then before it does. The first DBT run it's going to spit out what our variable actually was.

You.

And we can see here that we echo the variable DBT models. You can see that it was passed inappropriately, the add s, 50c accounts, X F, and this actually gets inserted into the statement. Dbt run models, dollar DBT models. This follows the same format. If it's an excluded, others it'll be excludes this variable and for tests it'll be DBT tests and specify the other models as well.
