What does the below setting in ADF mean? When we have an SHIR, doesn't the flow of data happen from via the server hosting the SHIR. What does the below setting mean?
And once the private endpoint is enabled, the SHIR fails.
So can someone show step by step implementation of how to reenable the SHIR with the private endpoint enabled.
I couldn't see proper documentation nor any video for the same.

Thanks for sharing the information @Marcin Policht .
Adding to the above, the setting you’re looking at controls how the Self-Hosted Integration Runtime communicates back to the Data Factory service. Even though all data movement happens through the SHIR machine, it still needs to talk to ADF for things like activity status, credentials, pipeline instructions, etc.
This is where SHIR usually goes offline - once you switch to Private Endpoint, ADF expects the SHIR to connect privately. If the SHIR server can’t reach the private link (because DNS isn’t resolving, or the server isn’t in the VNet, or on-prem doesn’t have VPN/ER), the runtime fails immediately.
Why SHIR fails after enabling Private Endpoint
What you need to do to make SHIR work with a Private Endpoint.
These are the practical steps people generally miss:
privatelink.datafactory.azure.net) is linked to the VNet.nslookup <factoryname>.privatelink.datafactory.azure.netIf your SHIR is running on-prem, you must have VPN or ExpressRoute. Without private connectivity to Azure, Private Endpoints simply won’t work.
Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
