Hello @alexander tikhomirov ,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Unfortunately, in Spark job definition activity doesn't populates the output, so that can be utilized for the next activities.

Note: By default, the Spark Job definition activity writes output to the path which you have passed in the command line arguments:

Since you already knows the output folder of the Spark job definition. Once the spark job definition is successfully, you can directly parameterize the output path in the next activity.

Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
