I am trying to copy data from one container in Azure Data lake Gen2 into another in the same Storage Account. I want preserve the same hierarchy with folders and subfolders but whatever I try it does only copy the json file and no folders.
As of now I have the target container set in the target dataset. Should I add something more (such as directory and file)?
I have tested this for you and it can work, please follow this:
1.My container's structure:
examplecontainer
+test
+re
json files
+pd
json files
Setting of Source in Copy activity:
3.Setting of Sink in Copy activity:
4.Result:

I have a Pipeline created in Data Factory that brings a file from a folder connected to an SFTP and leaves it in an ADSL container (Gen2). What I need is that once this process is finished, move the file from the SFTP source folder to another called "Procesados" but from Azure Data Factory, is it possible?
Thanks!
Regards
Yes that is possible. You just set up a copy activity with source as where the file is in your picture and sink as your desired destination.
Hi Have CSV files in zipped format in SFTP
I am able to install IR for SFTP and connection is successfull, but copying ZIP file from SFTP source to store into ADLS i getting error(import schema failed or no format define).
I have used copy data tool and dataflow for this scenerio but i am not sure how to zopy zip file from SFTP inside ADF.
Can you please try below:
Change to setting "ZipDeflate" compression type in your source data set and in the sink data set of Copy activity you don't need to specify any compression configuration (Compression type is "none").
In the Copy activity sink settings, please set the copy behavior to "Flatten Hierarchy" to unzip and write the individual files.
I am trying to process multiple excel files in ADF to utilize them in a copy data activity to blob storage. Here is how my hierarchy is structured :
My source is an excel sheet coming from SFTP server (linked service).
File path: unnamed folder with multiple .xlsx files. Inside those files, the sheet name varies between sheet1 and table1.
I am trying to create get metadata to get all those files to pass them into a copy activity, but my metadata is never succeeding
Attached below is an elaboration about the problem:
If you only want to copy all excel files from SFTP to Blob Storage, there is no need to use Get Metadata activity.
Please try like this:
1.create binary format dataset
2.choose Wildcard file path when copy data
3.sink to your Blob Storage.
I have one folder in adls gen2 say it as mysource1 folder .. which has 100's of subfolder s and each subfolder again contains folders and many files ..
How can I copy all of the folders and files in mysource1 using azure data factory ..
You could use binary as source format. It will help you copy all the folders and files in source to sink.
For example: this is my container test:
Source dataset:
Sink dataset:
Copy active:
Output:
You can follow my steps.
use ingest tab on ADF Home page, there you could specify source location using linked service and target location
I have a ftp as a source connection where some I have zip file and others are not in compress form. I want to copy the files from ftp,decompress zip files and put all files into azure data lake or azure blob storage wherever it's possible to get decompressed.
I'm using copy data activity where I have a source as ftp and properties is zipDeflate,fastest and binary copy and the sink side, I'm just defining the destination ADL path. The files are getting copied to ADL but they're copying in compress form only.
Please let me know if it's possible to achieve the above objective by using copy activity process?
Using binary copy is your issue here, data factory wont understand the data it is moving to uncompress it. Try the same setup without binary copy!
Hope this helped!
