Is there a way to transfer files between ADLS Gen 2 storage to Sharepoint via Logic Apps, i can manage to transfer files between sharepoint and adls but struggling with the reverse way..
Yes, you can transfer files from ADLS to Sharepoint through Logic Apps. Below is how you can do so.
Considering the below files in my container
Here is the flow of my logic app
I'm iterating inside my container seeking the path and then sending the content from Blob storage to Sharepoint.
RESULTS:
You can delete the same files from the blob storage using the below connector at the end of the flow.
You can automate this flow by replacing When a HTTP request is received with When a blob is added or modified (properties only) (V2).

I have an ADF pipeline that process an excel file in azure blob storage. The excel file is actually downloaded from
Here and then manually uploaded on the azure blob storage.
I want to automate this process of downloading the excel from the link and then load it in the azure blob storage. Is there any way to do it using ADF or any other Azure Service
The non-code option that comes to mind is Logic apps.
Your Logic apps will look this. After the trigger you will need a HTTP action followed by a copy blob to copy that content into your storage account.
Your Create blob step will look like this. The blob content will be the response body of the previous http request.
You can have this scheduled at a regular interval.
We are generating an extract file in Data Factory(blob) that we need to upload to a SharePoint location. Is there any service available in azure to do this activity?
We were able to do this via Logic Apps.
since your source is blob and destination s sharepoint , HTTP is not available as a sink in ADF . SO unfortunately you cannot use the REST API and also there is no direct connector to sharepoint.
So you can use Logic app or Azure function for the copy task from blob to sharepoint
Does anyone know which connection and Data Flow Component to use for ADLS (Azure Data Lake Store) gen2?
I've managed to use the blob connector in the connection manager and successfully connect to ADLS Gen2, but when I try to use the blob source component I get a 400 bad request. Works fine if it's just a blob storage without HNS.
The ADLS components states it's just for ADLS gen 1.
So how to read and write to/from ADLS Gen 2?
A current version of SSIS Azure Feature Pack supports ADLS Gen2. It can be used as a data source or destination in dataflow:
The screenshot is to show it as a destination, but the ADLSgen2 works well also as a source via corresponding "Flexible File Destination" and "Flexible File Source"
First of all, based on the great link provided by #rickvdbosch it looks like that there are many temporary limitations with Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 concerning the BLOB Storage API. Which means that it is not a component limitation and maybe you should wait until it will be integrated with SSIS.
Microsoft SQL SERVER Feature pack for Azure
If you meant these components when you mentioned that:
The ADLS components states it's just for ADLS gen 1.
Then ignore this part.
I am not pretty sure if it supports Gen2, but I think you can use the Azure Data Lake Store components which are a part of the Microsoft SQL SERVER feature pack for Azure. For more information you can refer to:
Azure Data Lake Store in SSIS
Azure Data Lake Store Source
Azure Data Lake Store Destination

Azure Feature Pack for Integration Services (SSIS)
Other methods
If the suggestion above didn't work then you should use Azure Data Factory or a command line by Installing AWS CLI and using AzCopy v10
I got the following info:
"At the moment Gen 2 don’t support BLOB API (but it will in a short time) and hence, SSIS is not able to connect."
So for SSIS it's currently either ADLS Gen 1, or blob store
I used the Script Task to write files or System.Objects (converted to csv in Memory) to Azure Storage Gen 2 (Hierarchical Namespace Enabled) using the Rest API. I did this as a demo until the SSIS components are released.
You can't write to ADLS Gen2 using the old components from the Azure Feature Pack, but you can connect to the blob Gen2 (non-hierarchical) using the Azure Blob Destination Component.
I have a event driven logic app (blob event) which reads a block blob using the path and uploads the content to Azure Data Lake. I noticed the logic app is failing with 413 (RequestEntityTooLarge) reading a large file (~6 GB). I understand that logic apps has the limitation of 1024 MB - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/azureblob/ but is there any work around to handle this type of situation? The alternative solution I am working on is moving this step to Azure Function and get the content from the blob. Thanks for your suggestions!
If you want to use an Azure function, I would suggest you to have a look at this at this article:
Copy data from Azure Storage Blobs to Data Lake Store
There is a standalone version of the AdlCopy tool that you can deploy to your Azure function.
So your logic app will call this function that will run a command to copy the file from blob storage to your data lake factory. I would suggest you to use a powershell function.
Another option would be to use Azure Data Factory to copy file to Data Lake:
Copy data to or from Azure Data Lake Store by using Azure Data Factory
You can create a job that copy file from blob storage:
Copy data to or from Azure Blob storage by using Azure Data Factory
There is a connector to trigger a data factory run from logic app so you may not need azure function but it seems that there is still some limitations:
Trigger Azure Data Factory Pipeline from Logic App w/ Parameter
You should consider using Azure Files connector:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/azurefile/
It is currently in preview, the advantage it has over Blob is that it doesn't have a size limit. The above link includes more information about it.
For the benefit of others who might be looking for a solution of this sort.
I ended up creating an Azure Function in C# as the my design dynamically parses the Blob Name and creates the ADL structure based on the blob name. I have used chunked memory streaming for reading the blob and writing it to ADL with multi threading for adderssing the Azure Functions time out of 10 minutes.
I'm currenlty using Azure Blob to store files, and upload/download from ASP.Net Application hosted outside of Azure. (I do not have Web Role and Worker Role.)
Is it possible to zip multiple files into one zip file within Azure Blob before downloading?
Thanks in advance!
THe only way to achieve this would be to do it by using a WIndows Azure Compute Role in the cloud. You obviously wouldn't want to do it on your on-prem servers as you'd round-trip the files twice.
One approach you might consider would be to build a download 'client' in Silverlight. This could handle the communications to blob stgorage and pull down the blobs (maybe in parallel) and then create the zip client side for saving.
But the short answer is this is not possible using WIndows Azure storage alone.
