Azure Data Factory Parameters

Parameters in Azure Data Factory

Paramters are external values that can be passed into pipelines, datasets and linked services. The value cannot be changed inside a pipeline.

Variables are internal values set inside a pipeline that can be changed using Set Variable or Append Variable Activity.

Steps to Parameterize a Pipeline

1. Source Dataset - Set Parameter for relativeURL

1. Source Dataset - Define the Paramter in Connections

1. Sink Dataset - Parameterize File Name

1. Pipeline Parameterization - Add two variables

1. Pipeline Paramterization - Pass the variables to the activity

It asks us to pass relativeURL paramter which we do via the variables defined above.

Similarly for the sink as well.
