This article provides step-by-step guidance for using connectors with Bring Your Own Driver (BYOD) approach and upgrading from outdated V1 connectors to the latest V2 connectors in scenarios where the BYOD approach is required.
Guidance on using connectors with BYOD approach
Steps
Review Connector Requirements
Visit the Data Factory documentation for the specific connector. Under the Pre-requisites section, verify:- The supported version of the client driver.
- The minimum required SHIR version for compatibility.
Install and Configure Self-Hosted Integration Runtime (SHIR)
- Set up SHIR on a physical machine or virtual machine within your network.
- Follow the official Microsoft SHIR installation guide to complete setup.
Download the Required Driver Package
