Stop and Start ADF triggers with Azure DevOps Deployment Pipeline

Running a deployment on Azure DevOps for Azure Data Factory requires triggers to be stopped just to make sure that no trigger gets fired during the deployment process. Usually Microsoft recommends a big pre and post script that you can use to achieve the same and more. But if your focus is to just deal with Triggers we have a nice powershell way to do it.

The release pipeline will look something like this

Now we have to create a script to achieve the same.

param (
    [Parameter (Mandatory = $true)][string]$ResourceGroupName,
    [Parameter (Mandatory = $true)][string]$DataFactoryName,
    [Parameter (Mandatory = $false)][Bool] $triggerOFF
)


#Triggers 

$triggersADF = Get-AzureRmDataFactoryV2Trigger -DataFactoryName $DataFactoryName -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName


    if ($triggerOFF -eq $true) {
         #Turn Off all the triggers
        $triggersADF | ForEach-Object { 
            Write-host "Disabling trigger " $_.name
            Write-host " runtimeState:" $_.properties.runtimeState
            Stop-AzureRmDataFactoryV2Trigger -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -DataFactoryName $DataFactoryName -TriggerName $_.name -Force 
        }
    }
    else {
        #Turn On the triggers
        $triggersADF | ForEach-Object { 
            Write-host "Enabling trigger " $_.name
            Write-host " runtimeState:" $_.properties.runtimeState
            Start-AzureRmDataFactoryV2Trigger -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -DataFactoryName $DataFactoryName -TriggerName $_.name -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
        }
    }

We can use the same to start and stop all the triggers based on the requirements.

Change the Script Arguments from $true to $false to Switch on all the triggers.

Note: make sure no triggers must be associated with one or multiple pipelines.
