Passing parameter in Fabric ADF pipeline

[girishtharwani2]

Hi,

When creating a Schedule in Fabric thats all there is (see below screenshot). After clicking apply the schedule is set. 

In ADF/Synapse after clicking commit for a trigger (which btw also can be named which is not possible in Fabric) one gets asked about the trigger specific values for the pipelines defined parameters: 

Is there a way to implement it in Fabric ?

Thanks,

Girish

Hi @girishtharwani2,

We appreciate your inquiry through the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

Fabric does not directly support the same parameter-passing mechanisms as ADF/Synapse when setting up scheduled triggers. Instead, it utilises the default values defined in the pipeline parameters.

To implement parameters in a Fabric ADF pipeline, please follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to the pipeline's Parameters tab and set the necessary default values for the parameters. Once the default values are set, they will be used whenever a schedule is activated.

2. If feasible, use activities within the original pipeline that can read from a dataset or a lookup, which provides the necessary parameters to facilitate dynamic transformation or data movement.

In Fabric, triggers exist solely as a pipeline concept. The broader framework that pipeline triggers utilise in Fabric is known as Data Activator, which is an event and alerting subsystem of the Real-time Intelligence features in Fabric. Scheduled triggers are a separate entity in Fabric and are referred to as schedules. These schedules function at a platform level in Fabric and are not specific to pipelines. Moreover, they are not referred to as triggers in Fabric.
