Exam DP-750 Topic 1 Question 22 Discussion

Actual exam question for Microsoft's DP-750 exam
Question #: 22
Topic #: 1
You have an Azure Databricks workspace that contains a job in Lakeflow Jobs named Job1.
Job! runs every hour.
Occasionally, the job run takes longer than one hour to complete. Overlapping runs must be prevented to avoid data corruption.
You need to configure the job scheduling behavior.
What should you configure? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Suggested Answer:


Explanation:
Two settings address the overlapping-run problem:
Concurrent Runs policy set to 'Skip' (or 'Allow only one concurrent run'). When a new scheduled trigger fires while the previous run is still in progress, the new run is skipped rather than starting alongside the ongoing one. This prevents two runs from writing to the same tables at the same time - which is the data corruption risk the question highlights.
Cron-based schedule for the hourly trigger. A cron expression defines the regular execution cadence.
Combined with the concurrency setting, the job runs hourly but never overlaps.
An alternative to 'Skip' is 'Wait' (queue the new run), which ensures every scheduled run eventually executes
- but for this scenario where overlapping is the primary concern, skipping the missed run is typically preferable to building up a queue of back-to-back executions.
