Hello Everyone,
Cant we use Service Principal authentication for invoking pipeline from another pipeline ? I'm trying to call new Invoke Pipeline activity from another pipeline and it throws OAuth error. What is the best way to avoid this error?
Regards,
Sri
@Srisakthi Yes you can use a service principal to invoke another pipeline. I'd say it should be a preferred method of invoking pipelines from other pipelines. Of course, the service principle should have required Fabric permissions for accessing Fabric items. The process is relatively straightforward.
1. Add a "new" Invoke Pipeline activity to your pipeline. To configure the activity you need to choose a connection and a pipeline that you'd like to call.
2. The pipeline connection should be configured to use a service principal authentication.
Now, about your error. You did not specify the details. Did you configure the service principal authentication? Auth errors are usually in two categories: either the authentication is unsuccessful or access is denied. Which one is your case?
