Discovering from Fabric other data products not implemented in Fabric

[pmscorca]

Hi,

I'd like for a project if inside Fabric it is possible to link or connect to other data products not implemented in Fabric or Azure, in order to discover the related schema, metadata and other important information.

Any suggests to me, please? Thanks

Perhaps something like Purview?

Hi @pmscorca,

Could you explain you question more? It is not all clear to me. What other data products do you mean? You could link to other data products with the data pipeline in fabric and use activities like lookup or get metadata to retrieve information about other data sources.

Hi, the requirement is a little generic.

The other data products are data products not implemented in Fabric on in Azure ecosystem, ok?

The need is to link in Fabric to other not Fabric/Azure data products without importing the related data and then to use the Fabric exploration features to discover the related schema, metadata, etc. of these linked data products, ok?

You could take a look at Shortcuts: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/onelake/onelake-shortcuts. With shortcuts, you don't import the data.
