I want to create a task group where Azure Resource Manager Connection is filled with a parameter:
However, this is not possible to do in portal as a validation force to fill it with working value. So I tried to export the task group as json and them modify it and import but then I got this message saving release pipeline:
Is there a way to overcome this? I understood that this is security check (which btw doesn't work in yaml pipelines becauce there you can use Azure Reource Manager connection even if you not allowed). However, in this way it limits usage of task group to a single connection.
EDIT:
Kevin thank you for your anser. I tired it but it didn't work for me.
So I have the connection rg-the-code-manual:
I created a variablewith it:
But when I tried to use it I have a validation error:
Based on my test, when I set the variable as the Azure Resource Manager Connection name, I could reproduce the same issue.
For example:
To solve this issue, you need to set the variable value in release pipeline.
Then you could save the release pipeline successfully.
On the other hand, you could also set the default value for the variable in Task Group.
In this case, the task group will use the default value in release pipeline. And the parameter will also exist in the task group task, you could directly select the value in the drop downlist.
Note: you need to make sure that the Service connection name is valid.

I am trying to connect to snowflake using linked service and copy data from adls to SF using adf pipeline. I created the linked service and tested the connection. It works fine. Even the debug over the pipeline works fine. althogh when I manually try to trigger the pipeline I get "Required property 'connectionString' is not provided in connection properties"
Thanks in advance.
This looks like a configuration issue and this behavior is noticed when the linked service is configured to use parameters (linked service parameterization), or a key vault is used, and if the connection string value isn't passed to the linked serviced during runtime.
Since it is working in debug mode, I would recommend publishing your linked service and in case if it is parameterized or using AKV, then please make sure that the connection string value is being passed and evaluated at runtime.
I have an Azure DevOps pipeline which is failing to run because it seems to be using an old connection string.
The pipeline is for a C# project, where a FileTransform task updates an appsettings.json file with variables set on the pipeline.
The variables were recently updated to use a new connection string, however, when running a Console.PrintLn before using it and viewing it on the pipeline, it shows an outdated value.
Many updates similar to this have been run in the past without issue.
I've also recently added a Powershell task to echo what the value is in the variables loaded while the pipeline is running, which does display the new value.
I've checked the order of precedence of variables and there shouldn't be any other variables being used.
There is no CacheTask being used in this pipeline.
Does anyone have any advice to remedy this? It seems that the pipeline itself is just ignoring the variables set on the pipeline.
There is a problem with the recent File transform task version v1.208.0.
It will shows the warning message and not update the variable value correctly.
Warning example:
Resource file haven't been set, can't find loc string for key: JSONvariableSubstitution
Refer to this ticket: File transform task failing to transform files, emitting "Resource file haven't been set" warnings
The issue is from Task itself instead of the Pipeline configuration. Many users have the same issue.
Workaround:
You can change to use the File Transform task Version 2 to update the appsettings.json file.
Here is an example: Please remove the content in XML Transformation rules field and set the JSON file path
All, when running a build pipeline using Azure Devops with ARM template, the process is consistently failing when trying to deploy a dataset or a reference to a dataset with this error:
ARM Template deployment: Resource Group scope (AzureResourceManagerTemplateDeployment)
BadRequest: The document creation or update failed because of invalid reference 'dataset_1'.
I've tried renaming the dataset and also recreating it to see if that would help.
I then deleted the dataset_1.json file from the repo and still get the same message so it's some reference to this dataset and not the dataset itself I think. I've looked through all the other files for references to this but they all look fine.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
thanks
try this
Looks like you have created 'myTestLinkedService' linked service, tested connection but haven't published it yet and trying to reference that linked service in the new dataset that you are trying to create using Powershell.
In order to reference any data factory entity from Powershell, please make sure those entities are published first. Please try publishing the linked service first from the portal and then try to run your Powershell script to create the new dataset/actvitiy.
I think I found the issue. When I went into the detailed logs I found that in addition to this error there was an error message about an invalid SQL connection string, so I though it may be related since the dataset in question uses Azure SQL database linked service.
I adjusted the connection string and this seems to have solved the issue.
I'm new to using Azure release pipelines and have been fighting issues trying to deploy a database project to a new Azure SQL database. Currently the pipeline is giving me the following error...
TargetConnectionString argument cannot be used in conjunction with any other Target database arguments
I've tried deploying with and without the TargetConnectionString included in my publish profile. Any suggestions or something else to try? I'm out of ideas.
TargetConnectionString
Specifies a valid SQL Server/Azure connection string to the target database. If this parameter is specified it shall be used exclusively of all other target parameters. (short form /tcs)
So please remove all other TargetXXX arguments.
(if you don't have them can you show what arguments you have inline and in publish profile - of course without data)
I'm tasked with automating the creation of Azure VM's, and naturally I do a number of more or less broken iterations of trying to deploy a VM image. As part of this, I automatically allocate serial hostnames, but there's a strange reason it's not working:
The code in the link above works very well, but the contents of my ResourceGroup is not as expected. Every time I deploy (successfully or not), a new entry is created in whatever list is returned by Get-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment; however, in the Azure web interface I can only see a few of these entries. If, for instance, I omit a parameter for the JSON file, Azure cannot even begin to deploy something -- but the hostname is somehow reserved anyway.
Where is this list? How can I clean up after broken deployments?
Currently, Get-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment returns:
azure-w10-tfs13
azure-w10-tfs12
azure-w10-tfs11
azure-w10-tfs10
azure-w10-tfs09
azure-w10-tfs08
azure-w10-tfs07
azure-w10-tfs06
azure-w10-tfs05
azure-w10-tfs02
azure-w7-tfs01
azure-w10-tfs19
azure-w10-tfs1
although the web interface only lists:
azure-w10-tfs12
azure-w10-tfs13
azure-w10-tfs09
azure-w10-tfs05
azure-w10-tfs02
Solved using the code $siblings = (Get-AzureRmResource).Name | Where-Object{$_ -match "^$hostname\d+$"}
(PS. If you have tips for better tags, please feel free to edit this question!)
If you create a VM in Azure Resource Management mode, it will have a deployment attached to it. In fact if you create any resource at all, it will have a resource deployment attached.
If you delete the resource you will still have the deployment record there, because you still deployed it at some stage. Consider deployments as part of the audit trail of what has happened within the account.
You can delete deployment records with Remove-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment but there is very little point, since deployments have no bearing upon the operation of Azure. There is no cost associated they are just historical records.
Querying deployments with Get-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment will yield you the following fields.
DeploymentName
Mode
Outputs
OutputsString
Parameters
ParametersString
ProvisioningState
ResourceGroupName
TemplateLink
TemplateLinkString
Timestamp
So you can know whether the deployment was successful via ProvisioningState know the templates you used with TemplateLink and TemplateLinkString and check the outputs of the deployment etc. This can be useful to figure out what template worked and what didn't.
If you want to see actual resources, that you are potentially being charged for, you can use Get-AzureRmResource
If you just want to retrieve a list of the names of VMs that exist within an Azure subscription, you can use
(Get-AzureRmVM).Name
