This article outlines how to use the Copy Activity in an Azure Data Factory or Synapse Analytics pipeline to copy data from Magento. It builds on the copy activity overview article that presents a general overview of copy activity.
Supported capabilities
This Magento connector is supported for the following capabilities:
Supported capabilities | IR |
---|---|
Copy activity (source/-) | ① ② |
Lookup activity | ① ② |
① Azure integration runtime ② Self-hosted integration runtime
For a list of data stores that are supported as sources/sinks, see the Supported data stores table.
The service provides a built-in driver to enable connectivity, therefore you don't need to manually install any driver using this connector.
Getting started
To perform the Copy activity with a pipeline, you can use one of the following tools or SDKs:
- The Copy Data tool
- The Azure portal
- The .NET SDK
- The Python SDK
- Azure PowerShell
- The REST API
- The Azure Resource Manager template
