Writing csv files from Fabric to a shared folder on a Linux server
- 6 months ago
Hi pmscorca,
Do you have any windows machines in your environment?
You will need a data gateway for this which requires a windows machine.If you have a gateway, then you can create an SMB share that is accessible to both windows and linux, and everything will work as expected.
Other than that, you might be able to use Powershell or the ADLS REST APIs to pull files from your lakehouse.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
There is already a Windows machine with the ODPG installed.
Now, Fabric cannot write on a shared folder on a Linux server, isn't it? Is it a limitation or an architecture issue? Thanks

Hi pmscorca,
Fabric will need to write to an SMB share, so if your shared folder is mounted as an SMB share it should work no problem. By default Linux uses NSF shares, which the gateway can't see.

Hi, thanks for you reply.
I try to recap.
I need to copy some csv files from a Fabric lakehouse into a shared folder on a Linux server.
I've a machine with an OPDG installed.I need to create a remote shared folder on this machine by SMB.
This remote shared folder should be visible to Linux machine by Samba software (in the whitelist it does occur to specify the ODPG machine).
I should use the Fabric folder connector to copy files on the remote shared folder, by a Windows local (on OPDG machine) or AD account?
Moreover, in the Linux machine is installed a SAP DP Agent to get the csv files copied from Fabric.
Any suggests in order to close a such issue, please? Thanks
