I have a source of SAP BW Open Hub in data factory and a sink of Azure data lake gen2 and am using a copy activity to move the data.
I am attempting to transfer the data to the lake and split into numerous files, with 200000 rows per file. I would also like to be able to prefix all of the filenames e.g. 'cust_', so the files would be something along the lines of cust_1, cust_2, cust_3 etc.
This method only seems to be an issue when using SAP BW Open Hub as a source (it works fine when using SQL Server as a source. Please see the warning message below. After checking with out internal SAP BW team, they assure me that the data is in a tabular format, and no explicit partition is enabled, so there shouldn't be an issue.
When executing the copy activity, the files are transferred to the lake but the file name prefix setting is ignored, and the filenames instead are set automatically, as below (the name seems to be automatically made up of the SAP BW Open Hub table and the request ID):
Here is the source config:
All other properties on the other tabs are set to default and have been unchanged.
QUESTION: without using a data flow, is there any way to split the files when pulling from SAP BW Open Hub and also be able to dictate the filenames in the lake?
I tried to reproduce the issue and it works fine with a work around. Instead of splitting the data while copying from SAP BW to Azure data lake storage, you can just simply copy the entire exact data (without partition) into the Azure SQL Database. Please follow copy data from SAP Business warehouse by using azure data factory (make sure to use Azure SQL Database as sink).
Now the data is in you Azure SQL Database, you can now simply use the copy activity to copy the data to Azure data lake storage.
In source configuration, keep “Partition option” as None.

I'm trying to use the data copy activity to extract information from azure databricks delta lake, but I've noticed that it doesn't pass the information directly from the delta lake to the SQL server I need, but must pass it to an azure blob storage, when running it, it throws the following error
ErrorCode=AzureDatabricksCommandError,Hit an error when running the command in Azure Databricks. Error details: Failure to initialize configurationInvalid configuration value detected for fs.azure.account.key Caused by: Invalid configuration value detected for fs.azure.account.key
Looking for information I found a possible solution but it didn't work.
Invalid configuration value detected for fs.azure.account.key copy activity fails
Does anyone have any idea how the hell to pass information from an azure databricks delta lake table to a table in Sql Server??
These are some images of the structure that I have in ADF:
In the image I get a message that tells me that I must have a Storage Account to continue
These are the configuration images, and execution failed:

Thank you very much
The solution for this problem was the following:
Correct the way the Storage Access Key configuration was being defined:
in the instruction: spark.hadoop.fs.azure.account.key..blob.core.windows.net
The following change must be made:
spark.hadoop.fs.azure.account.key.
storageaccountname.dfs.core.windows.net
Does anyone have any idea how the hell to pass information from an azure databricks delta lake table to a table in Sql Server??
To achieve Above scenario, follow below steps:
First go to your Databricks cluster Edit it and under Advance options >> spark >> spark config Add below code if you are using blob storage.
spark.hadoop.fs.azure.account.key.<storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net <Accesskey>
spark.databricks.delta.optimizeWrite.enabled true
spark.databricks.delta.autoCompact.enabled true
After that as you are using SQL Database as a sink.
Enable staging and give same blob storage account linked service as Staging account linked service give storage path from your blob storage.
And then debug it. make sure you complete Prerequisites from official document.
My sample Input:
Output in SQL:
We have an ADF pipeline with Copy activity to transfer data from Azure Table Storage to a JSON file in an Azure Blob Storage container. When the data transfer is in progress, other pipelines that use this dataset as a source fail with the following error "Job failed due to reason: Path does not resolve to any file(s)".
The dataset has a property that indicates the container directory. This property is populated by the trigger time of the pipeline copying the data, so it writes to a different directory in each run. The other failing pipelines use a directory corresponding to an earlier run of the pipeline copying the data and I have confirmed that the path does exist.
Anyone knows why this is happening and how to solve it?
Probably your expression in directory and file textbox inside the dataset is not correct.

I'm importing from Snowflake to Azure blob using data flow activity in Azure Data Factory.
I noticed that whenever I created a blob thru sink (placed inside provider/Inbound/ folder), I get an extra empty blob file outside Inbound.
Does this happen for all data flow sink to blob?
I had created a data flow and loaded data to blob from snowflake and I don't see any additional blob file generated outside my sink folder.
Make sure the sink connection is pointed to the correct folder and also double-check if any other process is running other than this dataflow which is causing to create an extra file outside the sink folder.

My program relies on local system storage to write a file that is being generated by the program itself. Hence executing the job in "DirectPipelineRunner" mode. Below is the flow,
One of my function - Makes multiple REST API requests and creates/appends to a file(Output.txt) in local system storage.
Pipeline: a) Upload generated file to GCS 2) Read the file from GCS c) Perform transformation d) Write to BigQuery.
Since, my program writes/appends API response to local system storage, I'm executing the pipeline in DirectPipelineRunner mode.
Is it possible to have temporary space in cloud to remove dependency on local file system So that I can execute the pipleline in DataflowPipelineRunner mode?
I guess Custom Sources and Sinks can be used here. Can someone add some light on this problem statement?
I am getting the error below for certain time slices while using COPY activity in a data factory pipeline but at the same time it is also able to copy the file successfully to the specified data lake folder for some slices. I don't understand if this is an issue with the factory or lake or is it a data manager gateway communication failure. The pipeline creates 2 GUID folders underneath the specified lake folder and a 0KB "temp" file but the COPY activity fails with the error below.
