Data Factory V2 Storage Account not Refreshing - Because it thinks its blob Storage

Debbie Edwards 521

I have created a Storage Account set to be Azure Data Lake V2 by setting the hierarchical namepace.

And I used Azure Storage Explorer to add some files into the blob Container (Which is an Azure datalake gen2)

I'm now creating a Data Lake V2 Linked Service, selected the subscription but Storage Account Name just says Loading and I cant get to any storage accounts.

I have tried closing Data Factory down and restarting but I cant get any further than this. I have changed at its in the correct Subscription and it is a ADLS Gen2

After checking Its actually available through the Blob Storage connector but I want it to be available under Data Lake Gen 2. What have I done wrong here?

Hierarchical Namespace is enabled and when I look at it using azure Storage Explorer it says ADLS Gen2

So I cant understand why it doesn't come up in data factory under Data Lake Gen 2 and I can only find it with the Blob Storage connector?

Ok, that's strange. I couldn't reproduce it.

I created linked service for Blob storage, further the drop down shows both my blob storage and ADLS gen2 account.
Same is the case when I create linked service for ADLS Gen2. Try creating support ticket if you have support plan.

I thought I may have the answer. I was adding to an old data factory so I created a new one and tried again but exactly the same thing happened. Is this because I need to add the Service principal in Authentication method or anything like that?

I have a lot of Data lake Gen 2 Storage accounts and I cant see any from data Factory. To me it feels like there is something wrong over in Data Factory.

I cant create a support ticket unfortunately,

Let's wait for MSFT support members to respond. They can create a one time free support request I believe.

Meanwhile you can try connecting to ADLS Gen2 using Key or SPN or MI as shown in the document - connector-azure-data-lake-storage

Hi @Vaibhav Chaudhari , Thank you so much for your engagement and helping the community.

Hi @Debbie Edwards ,

So I cant understand why it doesn't come up in data factory under Data Lake Gen 2 and I can only find it with the Blob Storage connector? - As Vaibhav mentioned this sounds strange and even I tried to reproduce this on my end, but no luck. I feel this needs a deeper investigation to understand what exactly is happening.

Hi @Debbie Edwards ,

As suggested in the support request, could you please try creating an ADLS gen2 linked service with “Enter manually” option to input the account name and account key yourself and see if that helps to resolve your issue?

Please let us know how it goes.
Looking forward to your confirmation.

Thank you and sorry for your experience

Hi

I got some help from Microsoft. Entering manually didn't help unfortunately but a few days ago they asked me to try again and it worked. I don't know what they did to get it working
