Azure Data Factory for Beginners - Build Data Ingestion - Tracking the Triggered Pipeline

The video tutorial covers the essential requirements for a data engineering solution, emphasizing the need to track processes and generate business intelligence reports. It demonstrates how to clone a pipeline, set parameters like run ID and snapshot date, and use stored procedures to log pipeline activities. The tutorial also explains configuring time zones and functions for data conversion, specifically converting UTC to South African Standard Time. Finally, it guides through testing and validating the pipeline, ensuring successful execution and logging in Azure Data Studio.

What is a key requirement for any data engineering solution?

• Ability to track its process

• High-speed data processing

• Low-cost infrastructure

• User-friendly interface

What is the purpose of setting a run ID in a pipeline?

• To set the execution speed

• To track each batch run

• To identify the pipeline version

• To define the data source

What is the significance of the 'snapshot date' parameter?

• It represents a system's state at a specific date

• It determines the user access level

• It defines the pipeline's execution speed

• It sets the data source location

What is the role of the stored procedure in the pipeline?

• To clone the pipeline

• To log pipeline progress

• To send email notifications

• To execute data transformations

Why is it necessary to convert UTC to a specific time zone in the pipeline?

• To reduce data storage costs

• To match the local time zone for accurate logging

• To improve user interface design

• To ensure data is processed faster

What is the purpose of the 'format date time' function in the pipeline?

• To enhance the security of the data

• To reduce the data size

• To increase the processing speed

• To change the date format for logging

What is the first step in testing the pipeline?

• Validating the pipeline

• Setting the pipeline parameters

• Publishing the pipeline

• Cloning the pipeline

What does the 'debug' button do in the context of the pipeline?

• It clones the pipeline

• It publishes the pipeline

• It starts the pipeline execution

• It deletes the pipeline

How can you verify that the pipeline log table is populated correctly?

• By checking the email notifications

• By setting a new run ID

• By running a select statement in Azure Data Studio

• By cloning the pipeline

What is the final step after setting all parameters in the pipeline?

• Deleting the pipeline

• Publishing the pipeline

• Testing the pipeline

• Cloning the pipeline
