Overview: Want to copy a file from one folder to another folder using copy activity in ADF.

  5. Create a Linked Service: Since for our demo, our ADF needs to interact with an external resource which in our case is the storage account we have to create a linked service.

  6. Create a Dataset for source and sink

    1. Source Dataset

      Create source dataset

      Configure source dataset

      Source dataset file settings

    2. Sink Dataset

      Create sink dataset

  7. Create a Pipeline

    Configure copy activity pipeline

  8. Validate your pipeline. Incase we forget to configure anything in our pipeline then it will notify us.

  9. Publish our pipeline. Once we publish, all the pipelines, linked services, datasets and triggers will be published in our ADF.

  10. Incase we just want to check if our pipeline is running as intended for debugging purpose before publishing we can use the Debug mode.
