Global parameters in Azure Data Factory
APPLIES TO:
Azure Data Factory
Azure Synapse Analytics
Global parameters are constants across a data factory that pipelines can consume in any expression. They're useful when you have multiple pipelines with identical parameter names and values.
To create a global parameter, go to the Global parameters tab in the Manage section. Select New to open the creation side-nav.
In the side-nav, enter a name, select a data type, and specify the value of your parameter.
After a global parameter is created, you can edit it by clicking the parameter's name. To alter multiple parameters at once, select Edit all.
Global parameters can be used in any pipeline expression. If a pipeline is referencing another resource such as a dataset or data flow, you can pass down the global parameter value via that resource's parameters. Global parameters are referenced as pipeline().globalParameters.<parameterName>
