Importing ARM template for creating ADF resources not creating any - azure-data-factory

Question

I am new to ADF & ARM. I have a blank Data Factory-v2(TestDataFactory-123Test) which I want to get it populated using an existing ADF(TestDataFactory-123). I followed step by step what is mentioned in the official documentation Create a Resource Manager template for each environment. The deployment shows succeeded but I can't see anything in it. I used 'Build your own template in the editor' option in the portal for importing the existing ARM template. Am I missing anything?
Below is the ARM which I got by 'exporting' the ARM for TestDataFactory-123:

Answer 1

The fix was as simple as replacing the 'defaultValue' for the 'factoryName' parameter with the name of the empty data factory viz. 'TestDataFactory-123Test' and not the existing one 'TestDataFactory-123'! Also, I replaced the 'defaultValue' of the 'AzureBlobStorageLinkedService_connectionString' parameter with the actual connection string.
