Set up On-Prem Integration Run Time

1. Click on Author & Monitor from Azure Data Factory

• Create two new linked services
  • Linked Service to Database. Since we are using a local on-prem SQL server we will need to create a integrated run time. Click on Manage -> Integrated Runtimes -> New

• Select Integration runtime setup followed by Self-Hosted.

• Name the Runtime Setup and select “Next”

• On the next step, Option 2: Manual Setup and download and install the integration runtime. Or download from here.

• Download and install the runtime. The IR should be on the same machine that your data is located.

• One the installation is done you will be prompted with the Configuration Manager (Self-Hosted). Enter the keys from your Azure Setup and hit register.

• Leave the name as is and check the box to “Enable Remote Access from Intranet” if you need it, but it is not necessary.

• If all is setup correctly you will get a confirmation message.

1. If you navigate back to your Azure environment, you will now see your new integrated self-hosted run time available.

Connecting to On-Prem SQL Server

1. From Azure Data Factory, Select Linked Services -> New, and you will now see an option for a SQL Server.

• Give the connection a name and fill in the rest of the details to line up to your local SQL Server and set to the new integrated run time. If you have not created a SQL Authentication ID before, see the steps at the bottom of this tutorial for details.

• Be sure to test the connection and hit create once completed.

Setting up Security on Local Database for Integration Runtime

You will need to create a SQL Authenticated User or service account for the connection to this database by Azure Data Factory.

1. Connect to your database and select Security -> New -> Login

• Create a new Login name, set to SQL Server Authenticaion, set a password and on the User Mappings Roles, Grant Access to AdventureWorksDB as Owner.
