AWS Glue - Can conditional triggers fire with conditional on jobs from another workflow?

Question

I am using the AWS Glue service with two separate workflows (let's say workflow A and workflow B).

I have created a conditional-type trigger in workflow B that watches jobs in workflow A and supposedly fires when they succeed. Can this trigger actually fire if it watches jobs from workflow A (ie a different workflow)?

I have tested this a few times, but it seems the jobs in workflow B that are supposed to be triggered by this specific trigger don't seem to run despite all jobs that are being watched succeeding.

I can't seem to find any information on this specific AWS Glue setup.

Answer 1

From the AWS docs it seems that triggers that start a workflow must be of one of the following types:

• Schedule
• On demand
• EventBridge event

A solution to my problem might be to omit Workflows entirely and just create triggers and jobs.
