APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) — Question 345

In which of the following scenarios should a data engineer select a Task in the Depends On field of a new Databricks Job Task?

Answer options

• A. When another task needs to be replaced by the new task
• B. When another task needs to fail before the new task begins
• C. When another task has the same dependency libraries as the new task
• D. When another task needs to use as little compute resources as possible
• E. When another task needs to successfully complete before the new task begins

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E because the Depends On field is specifically designed to ensure that a task only begins once its prerequisite tasks have successfully completed. The other options do not correctly represent the purpose of this field, as they either imply failure or resource management, which are not relevant to task dependencies.
