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 must be empty, it is not needed for Microsoft Fabric

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

Depending on your load control environment:

• If you plan to use a native loaded control using multi-threading load, please update the execution_dependencies_file_path placeholder with the path that contains the dependencies file
  • In our example, it is abfss://bgfabricjdbc@onelake.dfs.fabric.microsoft.com/bglakehousejdbc.Lakehouse/Files/Dependencies/

• 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
