Invoking custom java code through Jar Application from Azure Data Factory

Question

Hi Everyone,

I am have been trying to invoke a Jar application code from Azure Data Factory and I am unable to make sense here that how we can deploy the custom Jar and use it in Azure Data Factory.

Following is the example I am trying to achieve from Azure Data Factory:

java helloworld.jar param1 param2 param3

I have tried calling some Powershell scripts as a practice through Azure Batch Service but I am not sure where I will deploy my custom jar and how can I invoke using the above command.

Also, Is there any other way to achieve it as well?

I would really appreciate the help here, as I have been looking into it for quite some time but things are still not clear enough.

Thanks.

hi @Saurabh Sharma ,

Thanks for reaching me out, I think I have figured the ways we can call any Jar or Executeable from the data factory. There are three services i came to know as following:

1. Batch Account
2. Functions
3. WebJobs

In my case, Azure Functions are not the case because of the early timeouts and Azure Batch functions are not feasible too as we will have too less tasks to run on. Anyways, I have a new question now that I am trying to ask if we can call the Jar file from ADF available on any of VMs manually installed on EC2 instance.
