Azure Data Factory CI/CD for Schedule Triggers Not Working

Question

For triggers it looks like only pipelines pipeline and typeProperties blocks can be overriden based on the documentation .

What I want to achieve is with my CI/CD process and overriding parameters functionality , to have a schedule trigger disabled in the target ADF, unlike my source ADF.

If I inspect the JSON of a trigger that looks like the following field could do the trick "runtimeState": "Started" .

{
    "name": "name_daily",
    "properties": {
        "description": " ",
        "annotations": [],
        "runtimeState": "Started",
        "pipelines": [
            {
                "pipelineReference": {
                    "referenceName": "name",
                    "type": "PipelineReference"
                }
            }
        ],
        "type": "ScheduleTrigger",
        "typeProperties": {
            "recurrence": {
                "frequency": "Day",
                "interval": 1,
                "startTime": "2020-05-05T13:01:00.000Z",
                "timeZone": "UTC",
                "schedule": {
                    "minutes": [
                        1
                    ],
                    "hours": [
                        13
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

But if I attempt to add it in the JSON file like this:

"Microsoft.DataFactory/factories/triggers": {
        "properties": {
            "runtimeState": "-",
            "typeProperties": {
                "recurrence": {
                    "interval": "=",
                    "frequency": "="
                }
            }
        }
    }

it never shows up in the Override section in Azure Pipeline Releases.

Does this ADF CI/CD functionality exist for triggers? How can I achieve my target here?

Answer 1

Turns out runtimeState for triggers is not obeyed in the arm-template-parameters-definition.json .

The path is clearer after some more research - I can achieve what I want with either editing the Powershell script Microsoft has provided or use an ADF custom task from the Azure Devops marketplace.
