Parameters in trigger

Vineet S 1,390

Hi via executing the pipeline in ADF, we can choose the environment by selecting the corresponding parameter values. This can be done using the ADF trigger, where you assign values to these parameters ... Can I see some screenshot or example for this let's say I have 4 db connection was, dev, prod, test

@Vineet S

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

Here’s an example of how you can set up environment-specific parameters in Azure Data Factory (ADF) and use triggers to assign values to these parameters.

Step-by-Step Example

Define Pipeline Parameters:

Go to your pipeline in ADF.
Select the Parameters tab.

Click on + New to create parameters for each environment (e.g., dbConnection).
Screenshot that shows a pipeline setting showing how to define parameters in a pipeline.

!Define Pipeline Parameters

Set Up Trigger Parameters:

Create a new trigger or edit an existing one.
In the trigger configuration, you can assign values to the pipeline parameters based on the environment.

Screenshot that shows the Trigger Run Parameters page showing how to pass trigger information to pipeline parameters.

!Set Up Trigger Parameters

Assign Values Based on Environment:

When creating or editing the trigger, you can specify the values for each environment. For example:

Dev: dbConnection = "devConnectionString"
Test: dbConnection = "testConnectionString"
Prod: dbConnection = "prodConnectionString"

To trigger the pipeline with specific parameters, you need to configure the trigger to pass the appropriate values to the pipeline parameters. Here’s how you can do it:

Configuring the Trigger

Create or Edit a Trigger:

Go to the Triggers tab in your pipeline.

Create a new trigger or edit an existing one.

Set Trigger Parameters:

In the trigger configuration, you can assign values to the pipeline parameters based on the environment. For example, you can set the dbConnection parameter to different values for different environments.

Example Configuration

Trigger Parameters

Name: dbConnection

Type: String

Value: Set this value based on the environment (e.g., devConnectionString, testConnectionString, prodConnectionString).

Assigning Values

When you trigger the pipeline, it will use the values assigned in the trigger configuration. For example:

Dev Environment: dbConnection = "devConnectionString"

Test Environment: dbConnection = "testConnectionString"

Prod Environment: dbConnection = "prodConnectionString"

Running the Pipeline

When you manually trigger the pipeline or it runs based on a schedule, it will use the parameter values specified in the trigger configuration. The interface you shared shows the “Pipeline run” window where you can see the parameters and their values before running the pipeline.

!Pipeline Run Interface

In the screenshot you provided, it looks like no parameters are currently set. You would need to define these parameters in the trigger configuration to ensure the pipeline runs with the correct values.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
