Azure Data Factory from On-Premises PostgreSQL

Question

I'm trying to create a Linked Service connection in ADF from an on-premises PostgreSQL to Azure DW. I've selected the PostgreSQL connection type, but am unable to establish an ODBC connection -

"Connection refused. Cannot connect to host"

which I think is expected considering the PostgreSQL server is on a different cloud network.

What steps do I need to take in order to create a connection between the two? Can I create ADF Pipelines directly thereafter, or do I need to create an SSIS Runtime and work with SSIS packages only?

Answer 1

Since you want to transfer data from on-premises PostgreSQL to Azure DW, i think you need to create and configure a self-hosted integration runtime .As the statements you could find in this document :

A self-hosted IR is capable of running copy activity between a cloud data stores and a data store in private network.

Please follow the steps to create Self-hosted IR: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/create-self-hosted-integration-runtime#install-and-register-self-hosted-ir-from-the-download-center

BTW,according to this document ,PostgreSQL only supports source link,not for sink, which is suitable for you.
