Setup

To install the Azure Synapse Connector and create a connection to Azure AD: 

  1. Locate the Azure Synapse component in the Catalog and install it.

  2. Create an Azure AD Connection.

Finding Azure Synapse Pipelines

To retrieve the list of Azure Synapse pipelines available for scheduling, submit the Redwood_Synapse_ShowPipelines Process Definition. Use your Azure AD Connection and specify the Workspace Name.

Once the process has finished, click listing.rtx in the process' Detail View. Sample output is shown below.

Running an Azure Synapse Pipeline

To run an Azure Synapse pipeline, submit the Redwood_Synapse_RunPipeline Process Definition. Specify the Connection and Workspace Name, enter the name of the Pipeline to run, and optionally specify Pipeline Parameters.

If you specify Pipeline Parameters, use a key=value format for each parameter, as demonstrated in the following screen shot.

For information on specifying Pipeline Parameters, see "Pipeline Parameters," below.

Running an Azure Synapse Pipeline with a Template

To create a customized Process Definition, optionally with default values:

  1. Right-click the Redwood_Synapse_RunPipeline_Template Process Definition and choose New (from Template) from the context menu. The New Process Definition pop-up window displays.

  2. In the Definition tab, delete the default Application value (if any) and substitute your own Application name if desired.

  3. In the Parameters tab, enter any Default Expressions you want to use.

    • When specifying the Connection value, use the format EXTCONNECTION:<partition>.<connection name>.

    • If you want to add Pipeline Parameters, put them in a parameter group named Pipeline Parameters, as shown in the following screen shot.

  4. Save the new Process Definition.

Importing an Azure Synapse Pipeline

To import an Azure Synapse pipeline as a RunMyJobs Process Definition, submit Redwood_Synapse_ImportPipeline. Enter the name of the pipeline in the Pipeline Name Filter field.

When the process completes, you should have a new Process Definition that is named after the imported pipeline. It will be automatically populated with any parameter names and default values from Azure.

Pipeline Parameters

When specifying Pipeline Parameters, use the formats described in this section.

Redwood_Synapse_RunPipeline

To override the value of input parameters when submitting an Azure Synapse pipeline, add one or more entries to the Pipeline Parameters array parameter. Each entry should be provided in key=value format, where key is the name of the pipeline parameter, and value is the value to pass to that parameter. Observe the rules below for passing values for different types of parameters.

Pipeline Parameter Type Examples Notes
String

ParameterName="Parameter value"

The value for string parameters should be enclosed in double quotes.
Secure String N/A Not supported on Redwood_Synapse_RunPipeline definition. Use a Process Definition created from Redwood_Synapse_RunPipeline_Template instead.
Number ParameterName=12345 The value for number parameters should not be quoted.
Boolean ParameterName=true The value for boolean parameters should not be quoted. Allowed values are true and false.
Array ParameterName=["string", 1, true] Use JSON array syntax. Strings must be quoted.
Object

ParameterName={ "prop1": "value1", "prop2": 5, "prop3": true }

Use JSON syntax. Strings must be quoted.

Redwood_Synapse_RunPipeline_Template

To override the value of input parameters when submitting an Azure Synapse pipeline, add one or more Process Definition parameters to the Process Definition created from the template. Such parameters must be added to a parameter group named Pipeline Parameters. The name of each Process Definition parameter name should exactly match the name of the Pipeline Parameter it is supplying a value for. The value of the Process Definition parameter should be the value of the Pipeline Parameter. Observe the rules below for passing values for different types of parameters.

Pipeline Parameter Type Process Definition Parameter Properties Example Value Notes
String Parameter Type: String

Parameter value

The value for string parameters should be enclosed in double quotes.
Secure String

Parameter Type: String

Expand the parameter options at the bottom and check Password.

SecureValue To pass a value to a SecureString parameter, mark the Process Definition parameter as Password and supply the secure value in the parameter value.
Number Parameter Type: Number 12345 The Process Definition parameter type should be set to ‘Number’ to supply a value to a number parameter.
Boolean Parameter Type: Boolean true Use a String type Process Definition parameter with the value true or false to supply the value to a Boolean Pipeline Parameter.
Array Parameter Type: String ["string", 1, true] Use JSON array syntax in the value of a String type Process Definition parameter to supply the value for an Array type Pipeline Parameter. String values inside the array must be quoted.
Object Parameter Type: String

{ "prop1": "value1", "prop2": 5, "prop3": true }

Use JSON syntax in the value of a String type Process Definition parameter to supply the value for an Object type Pipeline Parameter. String values must be quoted.
