What is required when using the dbt run-operation command?

The use of the dbt run-operation command necessitates the inclusion of the --args flag. This command is utilized to run generic macros, and the --args flag allows you to pass in arguments to the macro, effectively providing the necessary inputs for it to execute correctly.

When executing dbt run-operation, having the ability to specify these arguments is crucial, as they directly influence the behavior of the macro being run. This capability allows for a more dynamic and flexible execution of tasks, adapting to different scenarios and requirements based on the inputs provided.

While database connection parameters, model configuration, and project documentation are relevant aspects of working with dbt, they are not prerequisites specifically for the dbt run-operation command. The command primarily focuses on executing macros and requires the specification of arguments through the --args flag to function correctly.
