Connect an ADLS File System asset to the Edge capability

To retrieve data from Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS), you have to create a connection between the ADLS File System asset and the Edge capability you want to use. You always have to do that after registering a new ADLS File System.
You can also edit the connection settings, for example, if you want to use another capability than the one you originally used.

Before you begin

• You have added an Edge capability with the ADLS capability template.
• You have registered an ADLS file system.

Required permissions

• You have a resource role with the Configure external system resource permission, for example, Owner.
• You have a global role with the Catalog global permission, for example, Catalog Author.
• You have a global role with the View Edge connections and capabilities global permission, for example, Edge integration engineer.

Steps

1. Open the ADLS File System asset.
2. In the tab panebar, click Configuration. In the tab panebar, click Configuration.
3. In the Connection Details section, click Edit.
4. In the Connection Details, select the Edge capability you want to link this asset to.
   In the list, both the Edge connection and the capability name are displayed. For example: edge-qa > adls1-synch.
   
5. Click Save.
