Azure Purview Support for Alteryx Analytic Process Automation (APA) Platform - alteryx

We are exploring Azure Purview and would like to know if there is any Third Party support for Alteryx - the Analytic Process Automation (APA) Platform?
The doesn't appear to any native support for Alteryx, as we're not seeing it as an option when we try to Register it as a source.

Are there any Logic App connectors for Oracle Fusion ERP?

Are there any Logic App connectors for Oracle Fusion ERP?
I've checked the Microsoft list and can only find the Oracle Database connector, which seems amazing.
Alternatively, has one one created a custom connector?
Seems you are looking Oracle Fusion ERP connector on azure logic app right?
Unfortunately it is not available right now.
But you can create custom connector on Azure Logic App as it has full customized functionality. You could integrate your API, manage your data type, set own business logic and many more. Let's have a look how you could create Custom Connector
Step:1
Browse to Azure portal and click on All services and search Custom connector Like below
Step:2
Select Logic Apps Custom Connector and Add your custom connector as you like. See the below screen shot.
Step:3
Step:4
Step:5
You can even check your Custom Connector validation on portal.
Note: If you need full process integration guidelines you could check here
If you still have any question please feel free to share. Thanks and happy coding!

What is the most covered way of scripting Azure resources?

I know of ARM, the REST SDK and the CLI Powershell cmdlets.
What I want to know is; which of these has the most extensive support for scripting resources without having to touch the (indeed very slow) Azure Portal?
And I would also really like to know which one of these Microsoft usually ship first with regards to preview features?
Each service in Azure is exposed using a REST API. Most of those APIs are publically supported. Some aren't.
It depends on the team that builds the elements that make up Azure and often their primary customer base. The Windows IaaS and AAD teams have been mostly PowerShell first. Machine learning and AI seem to favor azure-cli, which is built in Python, a very commonly used language in big data scenarios. The Azure Devops team has recently moved from the Visual Studio to the Azure brand (formerly Visual Studio Team Services, Visual Studio Online, Team Foundation Service preview). Their tools are mostly Node and Powershell based. Not everything in Azure is a "Resource", per se. So not all things are created or updated using Azure Resource Manager Templates (ARM).
So, unfortunately, there is no golden hammer when it comes to automating Azure.
Azure REST Api is, obviously, the best way to go, but its the least convenient (there probably is a better word for this). I really like arm templates, they (basically) allow you to define REST api calls you want to do and allow to do some looping\parametrizing\etc. As arm templates are just a proxy for the rest api, they usually work really well.

Developing a web application for Azure market place

I am very new to Azure and Azure market place apps.
I could not find any samples in the Web to create an web application in azure market place. I want to create simple web application then i can publish this in Azure market place. For example, this web application simply retrieves all the users in a SQL table and show the list in a html page.
I tried different solutions in web and also here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/gg607768.aspx. But could not able to succeed.
I am confused on how to start developing the market place apps. I mean which project template i should use to develop an Market place App.
Can any one please help me how to start developing the web application for Azure market place?
You may check the process outlined in this document Publish and manage an offer in the Azure Marketplace - this article is provided to help - create, deploy, and manage solutions listed in the Azure Marketplace.
Refer to the Marketplace Publisher Guide and Azure managed applications in the Marketplace for details.
Publish a Solution Template: Based on your requirement, you could use the solution templates which allows you to combine multiple items already available in the marketplace to create more powerful solutions.
Whereas, the ‘Publish a Developer Service’ provides fully managed developer services (SAAS) for developers to use in custom application development.
Note: Solutions Template has migrated to the new Cloud Partner Portal (requires registration prior to access).
Additionally, check the Marketplace FAQs (here): Who do I contact with publishing or offer management questions? : Please visit the Azure Marketplace Publisher Guide for up-to-date resource and documentations on frequently asked questions. Additionally, you can log a ticket with Microsoft Support in the Cloud Partner Portal.

Can Azure Insights API be used for completely stand-alone custom metrics?

I am hoping I can put in some simple API calls in legacy systems so I can capture point-in-time metrics "somewhere" in Azure, so that I can then take advantage of the Azure Portal dashboard and metrics graphing. I looked into Insights SDK but that seems to require that whatever I'm running be deployed somewhere in Azure cloud. I just want to run a simple powershell script or simple .net console app that connects to a legacy database in our internal network, pulls very basic point-in-time counts for message processing backlog... and then pushes that info with a timestamp out "somewhere" for visualization.
Any ideas what I can use for this in Azure?
Thanks,
Andres
You can use the TrackMetric API in Application Insights SDK.

What other GUI ways to manage Azure cloud services except Management Portal are there?

Microsoft promises to discontinue the old (Silverlight) Management Portal "this summer" so we now have to use the new (HTML 5) portal.
I personally and several people I've talked to find the new portal awful because it doesn't provide as fine control as the old one did. We find it so bad that maybe even consider writing our own tools.
Yes, I'm well aware about cmdlets, Management API, but I'd prefer something with GUI more or less like the old portal.
What other ways are there to manage Azure cloud services that provide GUI and fine control?
Do take a look at Cerebrata tools especially Azure Management Studio: http://www.cerebrata.com.
If you aren't ready for all the features of Azure Management Studio then try the free Blob manipulation tool, Azure Explorer, which is robust and very easy to use:

(Short video review here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO7g7XCDEIg)
For what it's worth, I think the Azure team have done a really excellent job with the Portal, including just the right amount of functionality for the majority of users.
