In this video, the focus is on how return values work in Maxed Fabric data pipelines and how they can be used to send information from a lower level pipeline to an upper level pipeline. The video starts off by discussing the concept of multiple layers of pipelines and the need to pass information between them. The use of return values is highlighted as a way to achieve this functionality.
The presenter demonstrates the process of setting up return values in a lower level pipeline and then invoking that pipeline in an upper level pipeline. The use of set variable activities to define return values and assign them to variables in the upper level pipeline is shown. The process of referencing these return values in the upper level pipeline to perform further actions is also explained.
The video concludes with a demonstration of running the pipelines and checking the outputs to ensure that the return values are successfully passed from the lower level to the upper level pipeline. The importance of understanding how return values work in Maxed Fabric data pipelines is emphasized for effective data engineering.
Key takeaways:
– Return values in Maxed Fabric data pipelines allow for passing information between layers of pipelines
– Set variable activities are used to define return values and assign them to variables in the upper level pipeline
– Referencing return values in the upper level pipeline enables further actions based on the information passed from the lower level pipeline.
