Trigger a workbench job from a sql script

in Workbench

We have a few scripts that run overnight, some run weekly, some daily, and some hourly. Is there a way to allow our workbench jobs to fire off whenever that script is done running? Or would we just have to pad it by a few hours like say it runs every Friday at 11pm, Have the workbench job to run every Saturday at like 6am to give it 7 hours to run?

    Workbench provides the wb.exe executable which can allow you to run jobs via a command line or a script. You can call it from your script once it's finished with the processing to then call workbench. You can read up on running Workbench from the command line here: https://domohelp.domo.com/hc/en-us/articles/4407022160791-Running-Workbench-5-1#3.

    I did read up on that but what if workbench is installed on one server and the sql jobs run on a different server? is that possible?

    The script would have to be on the same server as the workbench installation for it to work. Alternatively you could have a separate script to ping the status of the SQL job to determine if it's done and then kick off the workbench process to ingest the data.

    Hey so quick question on this. I get the CLI command to run this but I was wondering, what about running a group schedule via this method? Does a group schedule itself have a job id which I can reference for this? Or would I have to just call this command on each of the jobs within the schedule?
