| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## How to use |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Before using the Connector upgrade advisor, it is recommended to **save** or **discard all** pending changes. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +1. To access the **Connector upgrade advisor**, navigate to the **Manage** pane in your data factory. Under the **General** section, locate and select **Connector upgrade advisor**. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + :::image type="content" source="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/connector-upgrade-advisor.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the connector upgrade advisor page." lightbox="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/connector-upgrade-advisor.png"::: |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +2. Once you select the **Connector upgrade advisor**, it scans your data factory and identifies all existing pipelines using outdated connectors along with the number of dependencies on outdated versions. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + :::image type="content" source="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/outdated-connectors.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the outdated-connectors page." lightbox="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/outdated-connectors.png"::: |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +3. In the **Connector upgrade advisor** home page, choose the pipelines you want to upgrade and click **Upgrade**. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + :::image type="content" source="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/upgrade.png" alt-text="Screenshot of upgrade." lightbox="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/upgrade.png"::: |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +4. If a selected pipeline references an outdated dataset shared with other unselected pipelines, a **Select upgrade methods** dialog appears listing all the pipelines sharing datasets. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + :::image type="content" source="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/select-upgrade-methods.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the select-upgrade-methods page." lightbox="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/select-upgrade-methods.png"::: |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | + If you want to upgrade all pipelines using the same dataset simultaneously, choose **Include listed pipelines to upgrade together**. Otherwise, if you just want to upgrade the selected pipeline separately, select **Create new datasets for selected pipelines**. Click **OK** to confirm your selection. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + :::image type="content" source="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/enable-options.png" alt-text="Screenshot of two options." lightbox="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/enable-options.png"::: |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +5. The next window **Map outdated linked services to new linked services** list all outdated linked services. Select an equivalent V2 linked service from the dropdown menu or create a new one that supports the V2 format by clicking **New**. Once configured, click **Next**. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | + :::image type="content" source="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/new-linked-services.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the linked services page." lightbox="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/new-linked-services.png"::: |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +6. The **Update pipeline queries** page (if applicable) appears only if your selected pipelines use **Salesforce**, **Salesforce Service Cloud**, or **ServiceNow** connectors in the **Copy** activity with a query. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | + Due to query format differences between V1 and V2: |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | + - Salesforce queries are pre-populated as V1 (SQL) and V2 (SOQL) share common syntax. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + - ServiceNow queries require manual adjustments, as the structure has changed. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | + Once modifications are complete, click **Next**. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | + :::image type="content" source="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/update-pipeline-queries.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the update pipeline queries page." lightbox="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/update-pipeline-queries.png"::: |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +7. Review and finalize changes using the **Review** page. It provides a summary of all modifications made by the advisor tool. Click **Open and review** to exit the wizard and navigate to the authoring page. |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | + :::image type="content" source="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/review-page.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the review page." lightbox="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/review-page.png"::: |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | + Review all modified connectors, then **Save all** or **Publish all** the changes as needed. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | + :::image type="content" source="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/save-publish.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the save or publish page." lightbox="media/connector-upgrade-advisor/save-publish.png"::: |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +This process ensures a smooth transition from outdated connectors to the latest supported versions. |
