PATCH request in Azure Data Factory

Question

I want to scale an elastic pool in Azure Data Factory before my pipeline runs. However, for scaling an elastic pool or azure data warehouse I have to perform a PATCH request. This is the first time I heard of a PATCH method and after browsing the glorious web I haven't found any useful information other than creating an Azure Logic app or Azure Functions app.

I want to limit the orchestration to Azure Data Factory: the documentation can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/sql/elasticpools/update

Answer 1

Currently, Azure Data Factory doesn’t support PATCH request.

I would suggest you to vote up an idea submitted by another Azure customer.
