Hi Team,

I need to check for If blob storage container has 10 files and in case if container does not have 10 files then it has check for files after 15 minutes again in scheduled window. Ideally it should run for every 15 minutes in 2 hour window and if total 10 files are not available after 2 hour window then pipe line should fail.

Can you please assist me on how to do it.

    Hey,
    create 2 variables>> counter and temp counter with values 0
    You can use an Untill activity
    within the untill activity :
    use getmeta data activity to get the number of files
    then use an if activity>> if number of files is 10 then nothing else use wait activity for 15 mins and then use set variable activity to add 1 to temp counter and then use set variable activity to assign counter variable the temp counter variable.

    untill activity condition would be either the number of files is 10 or counter variable value is 8 ( reason for 8 is 2 hr window with 15 mins intervals)
    after existing if the count is not 10 then use fail activity to throw error

    untill logic:
    @or(equals(variables('Counter'),'4'),equals(string(length(activity('Get Metadata1').output.childItems)),'4'))

    untill activity:

    If condition:
    @equals(string(length(activity('Get Metadata1').output.childItems)),'4' )

    Tempcounter :
    @ hide (add(int(variables('Counter')),1))

    Counter:
    @variables('TempCounter')
