• These environment variables control the job.

  Use the Data Science CLI to start job runs as in this example:

  1. Start a job run with:

     oci data-science job-run create \
     --display-name <job_run_name> \
     --compartment-id <compartment_ocid> \
     --project-id <project_ocid> \
     --job-id <job_ocid> \
     --configuration-override-details file://<optional_job_run_configuration_override_json_file> \
     --log-configuration-override-details file://<optional_job_run_logging_configuration_override_json_file>

  2. (Optional) Use this job run configuration override JSON file to override the configurations defined on the parent job:

     jobEnvironmentConfigurationDetails: {
       jobEnvironmentType: "OCIR_CONTAINER",
         image: "iad.ocir.io/axoxdievda5j/odsc-byod-hello-wrld:0.1.3",
         imageDigest: "sha256",
       cmd: ["ls", "-h"],
       entrypoint: ["-l"],
         imageSignatureId: "ocid1.containerimagesignature.oc1.iad.0.ociodscdev.aaaaaaaaccutw5qdz6twjzkpgmbojdck3qotqqsbn7ph6xcumu4s32o6v5gq",
     },
         jobConfigurationDetails: {
             jobType: "DEFAULT",
             environmentVariables: <envar-list-object>},
         ...
     }

  3. (Optional) Use this job run logging configuration override JSON file to override the logging configuration defined on the parent job:

     {
       "enableLogging": true,
       "enableAutoLogCreation": true,
       "logGroupId": "<log_group_ocid>"
     }

• The ADS SDK is also a publicly available Python library that you can install with this command:

  pip install oracle-ads

  It provides the wrapper that makes starting job runs from notebooks or on your client machine easy.

  Use the ADS SDK to start job runs.
