Azure Data Factory

You can run Azure Data Factory Pipelines from JAMS. JAMS has an ADFPipelineRuns Execution Method that lets you configure a Job to run.

To use the ADFPipelineRuns Execution Method, ensure the JAMS Scheduler and JAMS Client are running 7.8.1 or higher.

Before You Begin​

You will need the following information from Azure to set up this connection:

  • Tenant ID
  • Client ID
  • Client Secret
  • Subscription ID

Creating Credentials in JAMS​

You need two Credentials in JAMS to run an Azure Data Factory Job:

  • A Credential is used to store the Client Secret value from Azure.
  • A Credential is used to run the Job in JAMS.

See Working with User Credential Definitions for more information on creating a Credential.

Creating a Connection Store Item for Azure Data Factory​

To connect to Azure Data Factory, you need a Connection Store item in JAMS. See Connections for Integrations for the steps to configure the Connection.
