Step 12. Create a staging connection (optional)

If the Secure Agent machine doesn't have a system-assigned managed identity or a single user-assigned managed identity that can access the cluster staging location, create a staging connection to the staging location so that the advanced cluster can share staging data with the Data Integration Server.
    1In Administrator, open the Connections page.
    2Create a connection to Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.
    In the connection properties, enter the storage account name of the location that you created to store staging files in Step 2. Create storage accounts for cluster files.
    3Open the Advanced Clusters page.
    4Create an advanced configuration or edit the existing advanced configuration for the cluster.
    5On the Platform Configuration tab, configure the staging location to specify the same storage account name that you entered in the connection properties. You can specify a folder path within the bucket.
    6On the Runtime Properties tab, add the property clusterconfig.stagingConnectionName and set the value to the name of the connection.
