Is it possible to set name of USQL job when invoking it using Data factory ?
Currently when my USQL jobs are invoked using Data Factory, Data Lake Analytics job view shows just GUID as a name for those jobs. My goal is to easily spot what the job is about and GUID doesn't help unless I open the job and see its code.
Are you trying to set the name of the job automatically based on certain parameters? And are you using ADF v2 or v1? The below answer is for v2:
Currently you can set the name of your U-SQL job in the JSON field of the U-SQL activity (see here under "Data Lake Analytics U-SQL Activity"), or by clicking on the U-SQL activity and changing the Name field under the General tab (if you're using the Visual Tools). Changing the name in either of those fields should result in a job name in ADLA of "-. If you're not getting that even with changing the name, or you're trying to customize the name via parameters, we can debug further.
