Passing data from Azure Data Factory into Azure ML

Question

In Azure ML the input data has to be defined as a Dataset (to create a pipeline). In my code I am passing datasets with the following syntax: input_data = Dataset.File.from_files(datapath)

I would like to change this datapath as an input parameter from Data Factory (for example via PipelineParamater), so I can apply the same Data Factory pipeline for different datasets. However, in Data Factory you can only pass string as a parameter, not a DataPath.

What is the solution around this?

Hi @Ilze Amanda ,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A Portal and sharing clarifications on ask.

Unfortunately, we cannot create user defined types in Azure data factory at this moment.

But, I will encourage you to log your feedback using below link. Product team will actively monitor feedback there and consider them for future releases. Thank you.
