Hi, We want to output the BIX extract xml files to Azure Data Lake container. We are on-prem and from extract rule I do see that we can specify only File Output directly and cant refer to a Repository rule. Is there any way or DSS using which BIX can support Azure Data lake connectivity.
Thanks!
@DhananjayU BIX does not natively support direct output to Azure Data Lake containers because the extract rule allows specifying only file output paths without referencing a Repository rule. To enable connectivity, you can use an integration approach. Configure an external file storage system (e.g., a file server or intermediate storage) where BIX can output the XML files. Then, use tools like Azure Data Factory, Azure CLI, or a custom script to move the files from the intermediate storage to the Azure Data Lake container. Alternatively, you can explore using a Data-Saving Setting (DSS) or a custom implementation to write a post-processing script that uploads BIX files directly to Azure Data Lake after extraction. Ensure the Azure Data Lake’s access keys or credentials are securely handled in your solution.
