![]() This will show you the pipeline’s JSON code: If you want to, you can work with everything in Azure Data Factory by writing JSON code. Do I have to use the graphical user interface? ![]() You can also add annotations, or tags, to your pipelines. You can even search for pipelines based on their descriptions! I also recommend adding good descriptions. You always have to specify the pipeline name. You can also open the General Properties by clicking the properties button in the top right corner: To rename a pipeline, you can right-click on the pipeline or click on the three-dot (…) Actions menu, then click Rename. How do I rename a pipeline or change its description? Just remember to not click auto align afterwards: Once you have finished your artwork, you can click Lock canvas so you don’t accidentally move anything. Now, if you prefer to align your activities in a specific way, you can absolutely get creative and move them around as you like. Tadaaa! This centers the pipeline on your screen. If you want to reset the design canvas, click reset zoom level:Īnd! If you accidentally scroll or drag too much and all the activities disappear off the design canvas… ( It happens more often than I want to admit…) Click zoom to fit and then reset zoom level. If you have few activities, it will zoom in for you: If you have many activities, it will zoom out for you. You can also zoom to fit the entire pipeline. You can zoom in and out using the + and - buttons. If you are like me and cringe when you see messy layouts, don’t worry! There’s a couple of buttons just for us □ Click auto align to clean up the layout. How do I adjust the layout of a pipeline? Instead of copying and pasting, it might be easier to click the clone button: You can cut, copy, paste, and delete activities by using the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and Delete, or by right-clicking and using the menu: The activities will now be executed sequentially instead of in parallel: To chain activities, click and hold the little, green square on the right side of the first activity, then drag the arrow onto the second activity. If you click on the blank design canvas and drag, you will move the entire pipeline around. You can move the activity by selecting it, then dragging it. To add an activity, expand the activity group and drag an activity onto the design canvas: You build pipelines by adding activities to it. Once the list extends below the visible part of the screen, it can be easier to use Move item: I prefer dragging and dropping when I have a small number of folders and pipelines. You can move pipelines into folders and subfolders by dragging and dropping: If you want to create a folder hierarchy, right-click on the folder or click the three-dot (…) Actions menu, then click New subfolder:Īfter creating folders, you can create new pipelines directly in them: Right-click on the pipeline group header or click on the three-dot (…) Actions menu, then click New folder: In addition to naming conventions, you can create folders and subfolders to organize your pipelines. It happens, and that’s completely fine! Just try to stick to some kind of naming convention throughout your project. Don’t worry if you end up renaming your pipelines several times while you work on your project. Pipelines are sorted by name, so I recommend that you decide on a naming convention early in your project. Right-click on the pipeline or click on the three-dot (…) Actions menu, then click Clone: If you already have a pipeline, you can make a copy of it instead of starting from scratch. Right-click on the pipeline group header or click on the three-dot (…) Actions menu, then click New pipeline: On the Author page, click + (Add new resource) under factory resources and then click Pipeline: On the Home page, click on the New → Pipeline dropdown menu, or click on the Orchestrate shortcut tile: There are several other ways to create a pipeline. So far, we have created a pipeline by using the Copy Data Tool. How do we create and organize them? What are their main properties? Can we edit them without using the graphical user interface? How do I create pipelines? ![]() ![]() In this post, we will go through pipelines in more detail. The Copy Data Tool created all the factory resources for us: pipelines, activities, datasets, and linked services. In the previous post, we used the Copy Data Tool to copy a file from our demo dataset to our data lake. Post 6 of 26 in Beginner's Guide to Azure Data Factory ![]()
