To implement a trigger in ADF that deploys to different environments like QA, DEV, and PROD, and runs a pipeline instance using a database as both the source and target, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Create Environment-Specific Parameters
- In your ADF pipeline, add parameters for each environment such as:
-
dbSourceConnectionString
-
dbTargetConnectionString
-
These parameters can store different connection strings for each environment (QA, DEV, PROD).
Step 2: Use Linked Services for Databases
- Create separate linked services for the source and target databases for each environment (QA, DEV, PROD).
- In your pipeline, use these linked services and reference the appropriate environment parameter for connection strings.
Step 3: Configure a Trigger for the Pipeline
- Go to the Triggers tab in the ADF UI.
- Create a new trigger (manual or schedule-based depending on your need).
- In the pipeline trigger settings, select the pipeline and provide environment-specific parameters (like the connection strings you defined earlier).
Step 4: Parameterize the Linked Service or Pipeline Activities
- In your pipeline activities (e.g., Copy Data activity), parameterize the database connections by using the environment-specific parameters.
Step 5: Deploy to Multiple Environments
- Deploy the pipeline to each environment using Azure DevOps or any deployment method you prefer.
- Each environment (QA, DEV, PROD) should have its own linked services and parameter values set for its respective database connections.
