Microsoft Fabric - Replace the placeholders - 1.5

The Generated Artifacts zip file contains files with placeholders for the target environment parameters.

You should replace all the placeholders to deploy to Microsoft Fabric Target System.

Replace the Placeholders

A toolkit is provided in the generated artifacts to replace the placeholders.

It is composed of a Powershell script to execute: replace_placeholders.ps1.

The process to follow is:

• Update the replacement_config.json file with your values:
  
  • Insert the value to replace into the value node

• Each database_name is filled by default with the layer name (example: rawvault)
  • It should contain the database name of the target lakehouse
    • In our example, we want to create the target tables in the lakehouse bglakehouse1

• Each database_directory placeholder should contain the path to create the Target Parquet files
  • • If you are using our Microsoft Fabric environment example, you can copy the path by:
      • Opening the Lake House (bglakehouse1 in our example) in the left menu:
        
      • Opening the Context menu of the Tables folder and choosing the Properties entry:
        
      • Copying the ABFS path:
        

Depending on your source:

• Linked Project (from a Stage JDBC or a Stage File Project):
  • Each database_name placeholder should contain the database name of the source table created before with the Linked Project
    • In our example, it is the lakehouse name bglakehouse1

• Direct source (External table):
  • • Each database_name placeholder should contain the database name of the external table, which contains the source data
      • • In our example, it is the lakehouse name bglakehouse1

• Open Windows Powershell (or equivalent) in the replace_placeholders.ps1 location:
  
• Execute the following command :

• .\replace_placeholders.ps1

  • You should have a similar result:
    
• The configured values in all generated artifacts replaced the placeholders
• You can now use these files and deploy your Target system
