How to specify build mode in custom python script scenarios ?

vaishnavi

I have created a custom scenario and want to build datasets with build mode specified.

scenario.build_dataset("my_dataset") --> This builds all the downstream datasets as well, but I want to build only "my_dataset" dataset. In the step-based scenario, I could do by selecting the Build mode as "build only this dataset".

But I wanted to do this in custom python scenario as I want to specify certain conditions on certain datasets.

Hey @vaishnavi
,

You can specify the build type in the function's parameter.

# Create the main handle to interact with the scenario
scenario = Scenario()

# Build a dataset
scenario.build_dataset("mydatasetname", build_mode='NON_RECURSIVE_FORCED_BUILD')

For more information you can check these links:
