Question

Synpase 'Publish' in workspace is not updating Parameters in TemplateParametersForWorkspace.json as expected

Drithi Deepak 0 Microsoft Employee

I am having an issue where LinkedServices in Synapse are not getting updated (connections strings) during rollout to PreProd and Prod workspaces. When I “Publish” in Synapse, Publish updates only TemplateForWorkspace.json but does not update TemplateParametersForWorkspace.json with newly added linked service parameters. As a result, linked-service overrides are not applied when "DeploySynapseArtifacts" Ev2 extension is called.

I have created “template-parameters-definition.json” parameter file for linked services at the root of my repo (same root folder is configured in my Dev Synpase Workspace). Issue seems to be Synapse Publish is not honoring template-parameters-definition.json for linked services in this workspace hence an updated TemplateParametersForWorkspace.json is not getting generated during Publish.

I have also included these Parameters in ScopeBindings and synapse.httpextensionParameters.json.

Hi @Drithi Deepak

Based on your description, the Publish operation should regenerate both TemplateForWorkspace.json and TemplateParametersForWorkspace.json by honoring the template-parameters-definition.json file. If only TemplateForWorkspace.json is being updated while the parameter template is not, it suggests that the custom parameter definition may not be getting picked up during the publish process.

Could you please confirm the following?

Is the template-parameters-definition.json file located at the root of the Git repository configured for your Synapse workspace?

Were the changes to this file committed to the collaboration branch before performing Publish?

Does this issue occur only in this workspace, or have you observed the same behavior in other Synapse workspaces?

Additionally, could you share the relevant section of your template-parameters-definition.json (with any sensitive information removed)? This will help us verify whether the parameter definitions are in the expected format and better understand why the linked service parameters are not being generated in TemplateParametersForWorkspace.json
