environment variables deployment issue

[RayCodeAway]

I have a csv to replace replace properties environment-related values

the environment variable value used to replace a Linked Service Azure Connection name using the record below

type,name,path,value linkedService,LS_SQLDB_ConfigDB,typeProperties.connectionString.secretName,"scrt-sqldb-devconfigdb"

this no longer works

the error i get is

[error]Invalid JSON primitive: scrt-sqldb-devconfigdb.

• azure.datafactory.tools latest

I think this is caused by the way that the parameter value is set in the Linked Service - if it is set statically the parameter value you have provided would work. If on the other hand the Linked Service parameter value is set as an expression the property would need to be updated to "linkedService,LS_SQLDB_ConfigDB,typeProperties.connectionString.secretName.value,"scrt-sqldb-devconfigdb".

Can you paste the body of the file LS_SQLDB_ConfigDB here?

If your code looks similar to this:

{
    "name": "LS_AzureSqlDb_AW2014_SqlAuth",
    "type": "Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/linkedservices",
    "properties": {
        "annotations": [],
        "type": "AzureSqlDatabase",
        "typeProperties": {
            "connectionString": "Integrated Security=False;Encrypt=True;Connection Timeout=30;Data Source=sqlplayer.database.windows.net;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks2014;User ID=kamil@sqlplayer",
            "password": {
                "type": "AzureKeyVaultSecret",
                "store": {
                    "referenceName": "LS_AzureKeyVault",
                    "type": "LinkedServiceReference"
                },
                "secretName": "sqlplayer-sqlserver-password"
            }
        }
    }
}

Then config:

type,name,path,value
linkedService,LS_AzureSqlDb_AW2014_SqlAuth,typeProperties.password.secretName,"scrt-sqldb-devconfigdb"

This should works, however, bear in mind that name of secrets should be idempotent across environments. Having one instance of Azure KeyVault per environment resolves that problem and is the best practice.
