I have been looking for options to migrate data present in my ADLS in one subscription to ADLS in another subscription within Azure. I tried ADF for this purpose and it worked fine.
But the copy speed is too slow in ADF. It copies at a speed of 10-15 KB/sec. Is there some way to increase speed of copy while using ADF?
Yes, there is a way you can migrate data from Azure Data Lake between different subscription: Data Factory.
No matter Data Lake Gen1 or Gen2, Data Factory all support them as the connector. Please ref these tutorials:
Copy data to or from Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1 using Azure Data Factory.
Copy and transform data in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 using Azure
Data Factory.
You can create the source and sink dataset in different subscription through linked service:
But this option may cost you some money. You also could ref the Azure Az-copy tutorials: Copy blobs between Azure storage accounts by using AzCopy.
Here is another blog How To Copy Files From One Azure Storage Account To Another:
In this post, Bloger will outline how to copy data from one Azure
Storage Account in one subscription to another Storage Account in
another subscription.
These maybe what you're looking for.

I'm looking for some advice around using Azure Data Factory to migrate data from Salesforce to Dynamics365.
My research has discovered plenty of articles about moving salesforce data to sinks such as azure data lakes or blob storage and also articles that describe moving data from azure data lakes or blob storage into D365.
I haven't found any examples where the source is salesforce and the sink is D365.
Is it possible to do it this way or do I need to copy the SF data to an intermediate sink such as Azure Data Lake or blob storage and then use that as the source of a copy/dataflow to then send to D365?
I will need to perform transformations on the SF data before storing it in D365.
Thanks
I would recommend to add ADLS Gen 2 as a Stage between SalesForce and D365
I am afraid that a direct sink as D365 can be done
All the Azure Data Factory examples of copying data from Azure Data Lake Gen 2 to SnowFlake use a storage account as stage. If the stage is not configured (as shown in picture), I get this error in Data Factory even when my source is a csv file in Azure data lake - "Direct copying data to Snowflake is only supported when source dataset is DelimitedText, Parquet, JSON with Azure Blob Storage or Amazon S3 linked service, for other dataset or linked service, please enable staging".
At the same time, SnowFlake documentation says the the external stage is optional. How can I copy data from Azure Data Lake to SnowFlake using Data Factory's Copy Data Activity without having an external storage account as stage?
If staging storage is needed to make it work, we shouldn't say that data copy from Data Lake to SnowFlake is supported. It works only when, Data Lake data is is first copied in a storage blob and then to SnowFlake.
Though Snowflake supports blob storage, Data Lake storage Gen2, General purpose v1 & v2 storages, loading data into snowflake is supported- through blob storage only.
The source linked service is Azure Blob storage with shared access signature authentication. If you want to directly copy data from Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 in the following supported format, you can create an Azure Blob linked service with SAS authentication against your ADLS Gen2 account, to avoid using staged copy to Snowflake.
Select Azure blob storage in linked service, provide SAS URI details of Azure data lake gen2 source file.
Blob storage linked service with data lake gen2 file:
You'll have to configure blob storage and use it as staging. As an alternative you can use external stage. You'll have to create a FILE TYPE and NOTIFICATION INTEGRATION and access the ADLS and load data into Snowflake using copy command. Let me know if you need more help on this.
I have load data to azure datalake storage gen2 using logic app.I tried using the connector azure file storage but i couldn't get any filesytem folder in that.Can some one help me on this issue?
Note: without using copy activity.
Currently, there has no connector for data lake gen2 in logic app. https://feedback.azure.com/forums/287593-logic-apps/suggestions/37118125-connector-for-azure-data-lake-gen-2.
Here is a workaround which I have tested to work.
1. create a azure data factory service.
2. create a pipeline to copy files from data lake gen1 to data lake gen2.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/load-azure-data-lake-storage-gen2#load-data-into-azure-data-lake-storage-gen2.
use data factory connector in logic app to create a pipeline run.
Once run successfully, the related files will be copied to the target folder under data lake gen2.
Isn't ADLS Gen2 just a blob container? Select the Azure Blob Storage connector, then Create Blob task.
I selected "Azure Blob Storage" as action in logic app and then selected my ADLSGen2 storage account name. it is working fine. Do you guys see any issue ??
My company has two Azure environments. The first one was a temporary environment and is being re-purposed / decommissioned / I'm not sure. All I know is I need to get files from one Data Lake on one environment, to a DataLake on another. I've looked at adlcopy and azcopy and neither seem like they will do what I need done. Has anyone encountered this before and if so, what did you use to solve it?
Maybe you can think about Azure Data Factory, it can helps you transfer files or data from one Azure Data Lake to Another Data Lake.
You can reference Copy data to or from Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 using Azure Data Factory.
This article outlines how to use Copy Activity in Azure Data Factory to copy data to and from Data Lake Storage Gen2. It builds on the Copy Activity overview article that presents a general overview of Copy Activity.
For example, you can learn from this tutorial: Quickstart: Use the Copy Data tool to copy data.
In this quickstart, you use the Azure portal to create a data factory. Then, you use the Copy Data tool to create a pipeline that copies data from a folder in Azure Blob storage to another folder.
Hope this helps.
I'm fairly new to Azure, and just trying out Azure Data Lake Analytics.
I created a new Azure Data Lake Analytics account for testing purposes and would like to delete it now, however I used an existing Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) account as the default storage account during setup. I now know I probably should have added the existing ADLS as associated data store.
I assume I can safely delete the Azure Data Lake Analytics account now without affecting the underlying default storage account, but I want to check before I do this as it would be a massive problem if this the existing ADLS gets deleted.
Any pointers would be much appreciated. thanks
The two are separate. Deleting the Azure Data Lake Analytics service will not affect the Azure Data Lake Store.
As a disclaimer, test test test. Set up another instance of both in the same way and then confirm the delete behaviour, just to be 110% sure.
Azure Data Lake Team here. I can positively confirm that deleting the Azure Data Lake Analytics account will NOT delete the default or any linked Azure Data Lake Store account associated with it.
