Azure Data Factory can't select batch account

Question

I'm trying to setup Azure Batch to run a Python script using Data Factory. I have already created my batch service and configured a pool and storage, within the same resource group as the Data Factory. However, when I got to run the "custom" activity, my batch resource doesn't appear so I can't select it.

I am using the following guide to run my Python script:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/batch/quick-create-portal#create-a-batch-account

What gives? Is there some way I can force Data Factory to see this batch service?

Hello @JordanGreer-0324,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

From your question, I understand that you have created your batch service and configured a pool and storage - You are unable to find the provisioned batch service.

In the custom activity, you would need create a linked service to access it from the adf.

Click on the NEW

Fill in the values(like batch account , batch url , access keys etc) associated with the batch account that you've created.

Click Save

Now select, the Azure Batch linked service that you've created.

Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
