CI/CD improvement using Global Parameters in Azure Data Factory

Had the same problem recently, is there a solution yet?

Hi,

Did anyone get this solved? I'm also facing similar problem: npm package (1.0.0) build artifact doesn't include global parameters. I tried the "updated https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/continuous-integration-delivery-resource-manager-custom-parameters#default-parameterization-template" as suggested above without success.

This results to validation error in deployment:

"Deployment template validation failed: 'The template parameters "default_properties_xxx_value" in the parameters file are not valid; they are not present in the original template and can therefore not be provided at deployment time."

Hi 

I'm using the @microsoft/azure-data-factory-utilities npm package to deploy my datafactory and I always get an error related to a global parameter that didn't exists... some of you have tried with a successfull result? 

Thanks!

IvanRamirez - The generated arm template has issues if you have 'Include in ARM template (deprecated)' enabled in Global parameters/Customer managed key pages along with 'Include global parameters in ARM template' in Arm template page.

Since you switched to the new way to include global parameters, please disable deprecated option of 'Include in ARM template' in Global parameters/Customer managed key pages and publish the factory to fix the generated arm template.

Hi, I was already using parameters inside the ARM Template and with this change my CI/CD pipeline "ARM Template deployment: Resource Group scope" activity stopped working. 

I did the switch to the new parameters inside the ARM Template configuration already. How can I get assistance with this?

As a heads up, if you want to add Global Parameters to the ARMTemplateParametersForFactory.json file, this is not documented anywhere, and for my company clicking the Include global parameters in ARM template button did not add the global parameters to the factory, though there were globalParameter JSON keys in the parameter configuration file. I had to add these lines to the parameter configuration to get it to show in the Parameters file:

"Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/globalparameters": {
        "*": {
            "*": {
                "value": "="
            }
        }
    }

If you were earlier using separate steps to deploy the 'ARM template without global params' and 'Global params using PSH' in DevOps due to a known issue of factory-level params being overwritten during deployment, then this would help in getting rid of the PSH, since you could include the Global params in ARM template without breaking ADF level configurations during deployment.
If you were already deploying Global params through the ARM template, the new capability does not add any other value and does not break your existing releases!

hi. how does this affect the release process if we are using Devops to deploy the ARM template? Will it break?

currently, we have some global parameters that change dependent on environment (i.e. for email address).
