To use Azure Data Factory to copy data, you need to have the appropriate integration runtime installed on the virtual machine (VM) that you are using. The integration runtime provides the connectivity and data movement capabilities that allow you to copy data between different sources and destinations.
To install the integration runtime on a VM, you can follow these steps:
- Create an Azure Data Factory instance: If you haven’t already, create an Azure Data Factory instance in your Azure subscription.
- Download and install the integration runtime: In the Azure Data Factory instance, navigate to the Integration Runtimes tab and click on “New.” Select “Self-hosted” as the integration runtime type and follow the prompts to download and install the integration runtime on the VM.
- Register the integration runtime: Once the integration runtime is installed, you need to register it with your Azure Data Factory instance. To do this, navigate to the Integration Runtimes tab in the Azure Data Factory instance and select the integration runtime that you just installed. Click on “Register” and follow the prompts to register the integration runtime.
- Create a data copy task: With the integration runtime installed and registered, you can now create a data copy task in Azure Data Factory to copy data between different sources and destinations. Follow the prompts to create a new data copy task, and select the integration runtime that you installed on the VM as the integration runtime for the task.
By following these steps, you can install the integration runtime on a VM to ensure that you can use Azure Data Factory to copy data between different sources and destinations.Regenerate response
