Azure Data Factory utilities

This library provides basic functionality to validate and generate an ARM template given a set of Data Factory resources.

Note: Please use node version 18.x to avoid failures while running the below commands.

Export ARM template

Run npm run start export <rootFolder> <factoryId> [outputFolder] to export the ARM template using the resources of a given folder.

• rootFolder is a mandatory field that represents where the Data Factory resources are located.
• factoryId is a mandatory field that represents the Data factory resource id in the format: /subscriptions/<subId>/resourceGroups/<rgName>/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/<dfName>
• outputFolder is an optional parameter that specifies the relative path to save the generated ARM template.

Example(s):
npm run start export C:\DataFactories\DevDataFactory /subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/testResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/DevDataFactory ArmTemplateOutput

npm run start-preview export C:\DataFactories\DevDataFactory /subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/testResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/DevDataFactory ArmTemplateOutput

• start-preview command uses --preview flag to get an improved PrePostDeploymentScript.ps1 script that skips stop/start trigger if the trigger is unchanged.

npm run start --path \\server\share\main.js export C:\DataFactories\DevDataFactory /subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/testResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/DevDataFactory ArmTemplateOutput

• --path is an optional argument allows the user to point to an existing downloaded bundle's share or direct path. This might be useful when there is a download issue due to networking challenges such as proxy requirements. This argument supercedes the --url argument in combined usage.

Validate

Run npm run start validate <rootFolder> <factoryId> to validate all the resources of a given folder.

• rootFolder is a mandatory field that represents where the Data Factory resources are located.
• factoryId is a mandatory field that represents the Data factory resource id in the format: /subscriptions/<subId>/resourceGroups/<rgName>/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/<dfName>

Example:
npm run start validate C:\DataFactories\DevDataFactory /subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/testResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/DevDataFactory
