How to expand large 7z file(greater than a 1TB) on Auzre?

Question

I have a large 7z file(greater than 1TB) on a blob storage in Azure and would like to expand and store it in another blob storage. I tried creating a pipeline in ADF to utilise an automation account that runs a runbooks for 7zip4powershell module and a powershell script. The pipeline works by taking downloading a file from bolb, expanding and uploading it back, which works well for 7z files of less size( less than a 100mb), but fails for larger files and shows the error: "Get-AzureStorageBlobContent : There is not enough space on the disk."

Is there another way to expand large 7z files on azure platform or is there a way in which I could resolve the space on disk error?

Hi Madhav Vipin,

Thank you for posting query in Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Your error indicates there is not enough space on local machine to complete the operation.

In your case it seems you may be using custom activity. Kindly correct me if I am wrong. Check your Integration runtime where its running and try have enough space on that machine to complete this operation. Feel free to share your activity name which are using to run your runbooks.

Hope this helps. Please let me know how it goes.
