I am Coping files from Azure blob storage to azure data lake store, I need to pick files from year(folder)\month(folder)\day(txt files are on day bases).I am able to do one file with hadrcoded path but i am not able to pick file per day and process to copy in azure data lake store. Can anyone please help me.
I am using ADF V2 and using UI designer to create my connections,datasets and pipeline my steps are which i is working fine
copy file from blob storage to data lake store
picking that file from data lake store and processing through usql for transform data.
that transform data i am saving in Azure SQL DB
Please give me answer i am not able to get any help b/c all help is in JSON i am looking how i will define and pass parameters in UI designer.
Thanks
For the partitioned file path part, you could take a look at this post.
You could use copy data tool to handle it.

I'm currently using Azure Data Factory to load flat file data from our Gen 2 data lake into Synapse database tables. Unfortunately, we receive (many) thousands of files into timestamped folders for each feed. I'm currently using Synapse external tables to copy this data into standard heap tables.
Since each folder contains so many files, I'd like to move (or Copy/Delete) the entire folder (after processing) somewhere else in the lake. Is there some practical way to do that with Azure Data Factory?
Yes, you can use copy activity with a wild card. I tried to reproduce the same in my environment and I got the below results:
First, add source dataset and select wildcard with folder name. In my scenario, I have a folder name pool.
Then select sink dataset with file path
The pipeline run is successful. It transferred the file from one location to another location with the required name. Look at the following image for reference.
Can you please help me to find the best practice for the next task:
I have a blob storage shared with SAS. There are multiple csv in folder hierarchy like root_folder -> leve1_folders -> level2_folders -> csv.
I need firstly read every csv that exists, save it as a hive table and then append new data to the hive table once new folders with csv (leve1_folders -> level2_folders -> csv) are uploaded.
The problem for me is to read last uploaded folders with csv only, the new folders name could be different, but the file name is the same always.
append new data to the hive table once new folders with csv (leve1_folders -> level2_folders -> csv) are uploaded.
The above requirement can be fulfilled using Azure Data Factory using "Event Trigger".
Data integration scenarios often require customers to trigger
pipelines based on events happening in storage account, such as the
arrival or deletion of a file in Azure Blob Storage account. Data
Factory and Synapse pipelines natively integrate with Azure Event
Grid, which lets you trigger pipelines on such events.
Limitation: The Storage Event Trigger currently supports only Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 and General-purpose version 2 storage accounts.
Therefore, you need to convert the simple blob storage to Hierarchical namespace to make it ADLS account.
Refer: Create a trigger that runs a pipeline in response to a storage event
I have flat files in adls source,
for full load we are adding 2 columns Insert and datatimestamp.
For change load we need to Lookup with full data, the data available in full should be taken as Updated and not available data as Insert and copy.
below is the approach I tried to work out, but i'm unable to perform.
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks you and waiting for quick response.
Currently, the feature to update the existing flat file using the Azure data factory sink is not supported. You have to create a new flat file.
You can also use data flow activity to read full and incremental data and load to a new file in sink transformation.
I have done data flow tutorial. Sink currently created 4 files to Azure Data Lake Gen2.
I suppose this is related to HDFS file system.
Is it possible to save without success, committed, started files?
What is best practice? Should they be removed after saving to data lake gen2?
Are then needed in further data processing?

There are a couple of options available.
You can mention the output filename in Sink transformation settings.
Select Output to single file from the dropdown of file name option and give the output file name.
You could also parameterize the output file name as required. Refer to this SO thread.
You can add delete activity after the data flow activity in the pipeline and delete the files from the folder.
I am new to Scala and spark i would like to load the files from azure data lake store.
I want to load all the files which start from test.
I tried as follows:
folder/test[0-10000]*.csv"
Can some suggest any solution?
