Introducing Azure Data Factory Design Patterns

I was honored to write an article titled Introducing Azure Data Factory Design Patterns featured in this month’s PASS Insights newsletter!

Introducing Azure Data Factory Design Patterns

The article covers a couple execution patterns:

  1. Execute Child Pipeline
  2. Execute Child SSIS Package

I demonstrate a cool SSIS Catalog Browser feature that helps ADF developers configure the Execute SSIS Package activity.

To see it in action, download SSIS Catalog Browser – it’s one of the free utilities available at DILM Suite. Connect to the instance of Azure SQL DB that hosts an Azure Data Factory SSIS Integration Runtime Catalog, select the SSIS Package you desire to execute using the Execute SSIS Package activity, and then copy the Catalog Path from the  Catalog Browser status message:

Paste that value into the Package Path property of the Execute SSIS Package activity:

You can rinse and repeat – Catalog Browser surfaces Environment paths as well:

Enjoy the article!
