      Azure Synapse - Stage JDBC - Target environment

      This article proposes a possible target environment on Azure Synapse for Microsoft Fabric Stage JDBC generator.

      Installation and configuration of the target environment are not part of biGENIUS support.

      Unfortunately, we won't be able to provide any help beyond this example in this article.

      Many other configurations and installations are possible for a Spark target environment.

      Below is a possible target environment setup on Azure Synapse for a Microsoft Fabric Stage JDBC generator.

      The Property Target Platform should be set to the Azure Synapse value:

      Setup environment

      The Azure Synapse target environment needs at least the following Azure resources set in your Azure Subscription:

      • A Ressource Group: some help is available here
      • Inside the Ressource Group:
        • A Storage Account for the Target Data Lake: some help is available here
        • An Apache Spark Pool: some help is available here
        • A Synapse Workspace: some help is available here

      In the following example of the target environment, we will use the following resources:

      • A Ressource Group named bg-synapse
      • A Storage Account for our Target Data Lake named bgsynapsedatalake1
      • An Apache Spark Pool named bgaasspark33v2
      • A Synapse Workspace named bgsynapseworkspace1

      Tools to install

      Please install the following tools:

      • Azure Storage Explorer: available here

      Source Data

      The source data are coming from a JDBC source.

      In this example, we will use a Microsoft SQL Server database stored in Azure in a dedicated resource group:

      The Azure database is AdventureWorks2019 and contains the data from the SQL Server sample database AdventureWorks2019.

      To be able to access the Microsoft SQL Server from Azure Synapse, you should check the box Allow Azure services and resources to access this server in the Server Networking configuration:

      Target Storage Account

      We have chosen to create a folder named claire-datalake in our Target Storage Account:

      • Open Azure Storage Explorer
      • Connect to your Subscription
      • Open the Target Storage Account
      • Create a folder 

      For this example, we have 1 Target folder for our Data Lake:

      Upload Artifacts in Azure Synapse

      Please now upload the generated Artifacts from the biGENIUS-X application to the Azure Synapse Workspace.

      Please replace the placeholders before uploading the artifacts.

      • Click on the Synapse Workspace in Azure:
      • Then click on the Workspace web URL:
      • Azure Synapse Analytics is opened:
      • Click on the Develop menu on the left-hand-side:
      • If you are in the live mode of Synapse, change it to the Azure DevOps Git mode:
      • Create a new branch named demo_synapse:

      • We have chosen to create a folder named Artifacts:

      In the file 500_Deploy_and_Load_DataVault_Synapse.ipynb, adapt the name of the XXX_Deployment, the XXX_SimpleLoadexecution.ipynb, and the XXX_SelectResults.ipynb by the name of your Helper files.

      • Commit all in the demo_synapse branch:
      • Make a pull request from your branch demo_synapse to the collaboration branch:
      • Open the collaboration branch and click on the Publish button:

      You're now ready to deploy these artifacts and subsequently load the data based on the Generator you are using.
