I am working on Azure Synapse. I am able to build the Azure Synapse project successfully using the Azure CI pipeline's MS Build task.
But as I am trying to deploy Azure Synapse using the Azure CD pipeline, I am getting the following error.
Internal Error. The database platform service with type Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.SqlDwDatabaseSchemaProvider is not valid. You must make sure the service is loaded, or you must provide the full type name of a valid database platform service.
I am deploying the DacPac using the following task. I hope this should not be any concern.
https://github.com/DrJohnT/AzureDevOpsExtensionsForSqlServer/tree/master/extensions/PublishDacPac
This is a weird error because a couple of days ago same deployment was done successfully.
Please help!
I have resolved the issue. I have deeply investigated and found that this issue is related to Agent which I am using in the Azure DevOps pipeline.
One more thing, I am deploying SQL Database and Azure Synapse using different pipelines but using the same agent.
Below screenshot of the Azure SQL database pipeline agent. SQL Database is deploying successfully with agent specification vs2017-win2016
Below screenshot of the Azure Synapse deployment pipeline agent. Azure Synapse is deploying successfully with agent specification windows-2019
The gist is that one agent is being used but the specification is different for the Azure Synapse and SQL database while both are building on VS2019.
Found from migration options doc that manual migration is possible .But for azure Devops server 2019 pipelines and history migrate to azure Devops services? is there any tools to do that?

You could try to use the Azure devops extension Migration Tools for Azure DevOps, which allow you to migrate Teams, Work Items, and Plans & Suits from one Project to another in Azure DevOps/TFS both within the same Organization, and between Organizations. But this without history and This tool is complicated and its not always easy to discover what you need to do.
If you insist on keeping the history, you could also try to use the 3rd tool OpsHub Visual Studio Online Migration Utility. It migrates historical information for work items, version control change sets, test cases, test results, and all the relationships between two tools in an incremental manner.
Note: No matter which tool is used, or manual migration, we may not be able to get results were not a perfect copy, but overall the results were actable.
It might sound backwards, but we have a need to move a Azure Devops project of epic's, User stores tasks etc, as well as all existing comments, links, and dependencies to a TFS environment, can this tool do that?
Yes you can using the Azure DevOps Migration Tools.

Is there any sand box environment for Data Lake Store and Analytics so that I don't have to use my Azure Credits?
Azure Data Lake Analytics (ADLA) does have a mode for local execution. You install an emulator and this enables you to run your U-SQL scripts from Visual Studio either against your local instance or your Azure ADLA account.

You can use the ADL tool with VisualStudio Community Edition which gives you the experience for free.
