  • Prepare the DAG file and run the graph
  • Check the result

Warning

This guide is suitable for Apache Airflow™ 3.0 and lower. Starting from Apache Airflow™ version 3.0, direct access to databases is restricted.

You can connect to a Managed Service for Apache Airflow™ database using software and update connection data using a directed acyclic graph (DAG).

Prepare the DAG file and run the graphPrepare the DAG file and run the graph

  1. Create a local file named update_connections.py and paste the following script to it:

    import json
    from airflow.decorators import dag, task
    from airflow.settings import Session
    from airflow.models import Connection
    
    
    @dag(schedule=None)
    def update_connections():
        @task
        def update_connections_task():
            with Session() as session:
                connections = session.query(Connection)
                for conn in connections:
                    extra = conn.extra_dejson
                    print(f"extra: {extra}")
                    update_count = extra.get('update_count', 0)
                    extra['update_count'] = update_count + 1
                    conn.set_extra(json.dumps(extra))
                    session.add(conn)
                session.commit()
    
        update_connections_task()
    
    
    update_connections()
    
  2. Upload the update_connections.py DAG file to the bucket you created earlier. This will automatically create a graph with the same name in the Apache Airflow™ web interface.

  3. Open the Apache Airflow™ web interface.

  4. Make sure a new graph named update_connections has appeared in the DAGs section.

    It may take a few minutes to load a DAG file from the bucket.

  5. To run the graph, click image in the line with its name.

Check the resultCheck the result

To check the result in the Apache Airflow™ web interface:

  1. In the DAGs section, click update_connections.
  2. Go to the Graph section.
  3. Select update_connections_task.
  4. Go to Logs.
  5. Make sure the logs contain a list of updated connections. This means the query was successful.
