Data Factory Questions

Question

Hello,

I have two basic questions about Data Factory.

1. I have a Pipeline that loads data into Azure SQL which is then read by PowerBI. Is there a way to have Azure Data Factory trigger the reload of the PowerBI DataSet?
2. Are there standard naming conventions for Data Pipeline Objects, maybe like Pipelines start with 'PPL', etc.

Thank You,

Michael

Hey, You w.r.t refresh of powerbi post data ingestion, you can use web activity to triggee the powerbi refresh via rest api. The below blig explains the same : https://datasharkx.wordpress.com/2022/11/07/refresh-power-bi-dataflow-dataset-from-azure-data-factory-synapse-pipeline-via-service-principal-part-2/ w.r.t naming convention, it depends on the individual users/organization standards and there is no fixed aspect. We follow appending the type in front of name like in case of pipeline PL_entityname, for linked service LS_entitynm
