ADF get property "status": "Succeeded" and IF for validation - azure

Question

I have a pipeline that pull out data from external and sink into SQL Server table as staging. Process for getting raw data has already succeeded by using 4 'Copy data'. Because of so many columns (250 columns), so I split them.
What the next requirement validate 4 those 'Copy data' by getting succeeded status. The output of 'Copy data' look like this
{
"dataRead": 4772214,
"dataWritten": 106918,
"sourcePeakConnections": 1,
"sinkPeakConnections": 1,
"rowsRead": 1366,
"rowsCopied": 1366,
"copyDuration": 8,
"throughput": 582.546,
"errors": [],
"effectiveIntegrationRuntime": "AutoResolveIntegrationRuntime (Southeast Asia)",
"usedDataIntegrationUnits": 4,
"billingReference": {
"activityType": "DataMovement",
"billableDuration": [
{
"meterType": "AzureIR",
"duration": 0.016666666666666666,
"unit": "DIUHours"
}
]
},
"usedParallelCopies": 1,
"executionDetails": [
{
"source": {
"type": "RestService"
},
"sink": {
"type": "AzureSqlDatabase",
"region": "Southeast Asia"
},
"status": "Succeeded",
"start": "2022-04-13T07:16:48.5905628Z",
"duration": 8,
"usedDataIntegrationUnits": 4,
"usedParallelCopies": 1,
"profile": {
"queue": {
"status": "Completed",
"duration": 4
},
"transfer": {
"status": "Completed",
"duration": 4,
"details": {
"readingFromSource": {
"type": "RestService",
"workingDuration": 1,
"timeToFirstByte": 1
},
"writingToSink": {
"type": "AzureSqlDatabase",
"workingDuration": 0
}
}
}
},
"detailedDurations": {
"queuingDuration": 4,
"timeToFirstByte": 1,
"transferDuration": 3
}
}
],
"dataConsistencyVerification": {
"VerificationResult": "NotVerified"
},
"durationInQueue": {
"integrationRuntimeQueue": 0
}
}
Now, I want to get "status": "Succeeded" (JSON output) for validating in the 'IF Condition'. So, I set Value from variable in the dynamic content #activity('copy_data_Kobo_MBS').output
but when it run, I got error
The variable 'copy_Kobo_MBS' of type 'Boolean' cannot be initialized
or updated with value of type 'Object'. The variable 'copy_Kobo_MBS'
only supports values of types 'Boolean'.
And the question is how to get "status": "Succeeded" (JSON output) as 'Variable' value ? So 'IF condition' can examine the 'Variable' value.

Answer 1

You can use the below expression to pull the run status from the copy data activity. As your variable is of Boolean type, you need to evaluate it using the #equals() function which returns true or false.
#equals(activity('Copy data1').output.executionDetails[0].status,'Succeeded')
As per knowledge, you don’t have to extract the status from copy data activity as you are connecting your copy activity to set variable activity upon success.
That means your set variable activity runs only when your copy data activity ran successfully.
Also, note that
If the copy data activity (or any other activity) fails, then the activities which are added upon the success output of the previous activity will not be running.
And if you are connecting more than 1 activity output to a single activity, it only runs when all the connected activities run.
You can add activities upon failure or upon completion to process further.
Example:
In the below snip, the Set Variable activity is not run as copy data is not successful. And Wait2 activity is not run as all the input activities are not run successfully.
