Azure Data Factory connecting to Azure SQL returns SqlFailedToConnect.

I have deployed Azure Data Factory (ADF) via Azure Pipeline with the help of ARM Deployment. In the deployment I have overwritten the connection string component for DB Connection string.

When the Live Mode is selected and Linked Service is tested for system assigned managed identity it connects to the Azure SQL server. I have created the user in master and database, and db_owner role.

However, when the trigger is run for the pipeline it throws bellow error.

Operation on target Copy data1 failed: ErrorCode=SqlFailedToConnect,'Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=Cannot connect to SQL Database: 'db_name', Database: 'dn_name', User: ''.

I have already allowed Azure services and resources to access the server in Azure SQL Server. Image attached below.

    Please make sure the IP address of the Integration Runtime is whitelisted in your AzureSQLServer.

    Please make sure you have opened all the ports listed here.

    Hi @Desmond Fernando ,

    Kindly recheck below all checkpoints once again and see if that helps.

    • Is your Azure SQL Server is running?
    • Is the linked service and datasets details are published to Live mode?
    • Triggers will run the pipeline version which is published to live mode. Hence kindly make sure everything published successfully or not.
    • List item

    I could see you selected Selected networks option. That means only whitelisted IP addresses alone can access your server. Kindly try to allow public network access enabled and see if that helps?

    Please note, Auto Resolve IRs will get IP addresses randomly as they pick resources based on multiple factors of availability and loan on datacenters. Hence allowing public access may help.

    In your case it says server itself is not accessible. I believe this is because of not allowing public access and allowing only few selected networks.

    Kindly let us know how it goes.
