Azure Synapse Analytics Artifacts client library for .NET

This directory contains the open source subset of the .NET SDK. For documentation of the complete Azure SDK, please see theMicrosoft Azure .NET Developer Center.

The Azure Synapse Analytics development client library enables programmatically managing artifacts, offering methods to create, update, list, and delete pipelines, datasets, data flows, notebooks, Spark job definitions, SQL scripts, linked services and triggers.

Azure Synapse is a limitless analytics service that brings together enterprise data warehousing and Big Data analytics. It gives you the freedom to query data on your terms, using either serverless on-demand or provisioned resources—at scale. Azure Synapse brings these two worlds together with a unified experience to ingest, prepare, manage, and serve data for immediate BI and machine learning needs.

Getting started

The complete Microsoft Azure SDK can be downloaded from theMicrosoft Azure Downloads Page and ships with support for building deployment packages, integrating with tooling, rich command line tooling, and more.

For the best development experience, developers should use the official Microsoft NuGet packages for libraries. NuGet packages are regularly updated with new functionality and hotfixes.

Install the package

Install the Azure Synapse Analytics development client library for .NET withNuGet:

dotnet add package Azure.Analytics.Synapse.Artifacts --prerelease

Prerequisites

• Azure Subscription: To use Azure services, including Azure Synapse, you'll need a subscription. If you do not have an existing Azure account, you may sign up for afree trial or use yourVisual Studio Subscription benefits when youcreate an account.
• An existing Azure Synapse workspace. If you need to create an Azure Synapse workspace, you can use theAzure Portal orAzure CLI.

If you use the Azure CLI, the command looks like below:

az synapse workspace create \    --name <your-workspace-name> \    --resource-group <your-resource-group-name> \    --storage-account <your-storage-account-name> \    --file-system <your-storage-file-system-name> \    --sql-admin-login-user <your-sql-admin-user-name> \    --sql-admin-login-password <your-sql-admin-user-password> \    --location <your-workspace-location>

Authenticate the client

In order to interact with part of the Azure Synapse Analytics service, you'll need to create an instance of the respective client class:

• BigDataPoolsClient
• DataFlowClient
• DataFlowDebugSessionClient
• DatasetClient
• IntegrationRuntimesClient
• LinkedServiceClient
• NotebookClient
• PipelineClient
• PipelineRunClient
• SparkJobDefinitionClient
• SqlPoolsClient
• SqlScriptClient
• TriggerClient
• TriggerRunClient
• WorkspaceClient
• WorkspaceGitRepoManagementClient

You need aworkspace endpoint, which you may see as "Development endpoint" in the portal, andclient secret credentials (client id, client secret, tenant id) to instantiate a client object.

Client secret credential authentication is being used in this getting started section but you can find more ways to authenticate withAzure identity. To use theDefaultAzureCredential provider shown below,or other credential providers provided with the Azure SDK, you should install the Azure.Identity package:

dotnet add package Azure.Identity

Examples

The Azure.Analytics.Synapse.Artifacts package supports synchronous and asynchronous APIs. The following section covers some of the most common Azure Synapse Analytics development related tasks:

Notebook examples

• Create a notebook
• Retrieve a notebook
• List notebooks
• Delete a notebook

Create a notebook

CreateOrUpdateNotebook creates a notebook.

NotebookCreateOrUpdateNotebookOperation operation = await client.StartCreateOrUpdateNotebookAsync(notebookName, notebookResource);await operation.WaitForCompletionAsync();Console.WriteLine("The notebook is created");

Retrieve a notebook

GetNoteBook retrieves a notebook.

NotebookResource retrievedNotebook = client.GetNotebook(notebookName);

List notebooks

GetNotebooksByWorkspace enumerates the notebooks in the Synapse workspace.

Pageable<NotebookResource> notebooks = client.GetNotebooksByWorkspace();foreach (NotebookResource notebook in notebooks){    Console.WriteLine(notebook.Name);}

Delete a notebook

DeleteNotebook deletes a notebook.

NotebookDeleteNotebookOperation deleteNotebookOperation = client.StartDeleteNotebook(notebookName);await deleteNotebookOperation.WaitForCompletionResponseAsync();

Key concepts

NotebookControlClient

With a notebook client you can create, update, list, and delete pipelines, datasets, data flows, notebooks, Spark job definitions, SQL scripts, linked services and triggers.

Thread safety

We guarantee that all client instance methods are thread-safe and independent of each other (guideline). This ensures that the recommendation of reusing client instances is always safe, even across threads.

Additional concepts

Client options |Accessing the response |Long-running operations |Handling failures |Diagnostics |Mocking |Client lifetime

Troubleshooting

Please open issue in github.
