Hey,

whenever you use an IR in either source or sink dataset within a copy activity, it is needed that the IR should be able to access both the source and sink.

Based on the error message it seems either of the one is unable to be accessed from the IR.

So to debug your issue, please login within the IR and try accessing the oracle db and Azure SQL database and which ever is not being accessed, you would need to make the necessary network changes in IR.

In case of an Azure SQL DB access issue:

Answer 2

Hi Prashanth Rathinavel,

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

Please note, if your Source linked service uses selfhosted IR and Sink linked service uses some other IR, still in copy activity, both source and sink uses Selfhosted IR only to access. Click here to know more.

In your case, it seems Azure SQL cannot be accessed using self hosted IR, kindly make sure your selfhosted IR machine IP to add to firewall rules of Azure SQL and make sure your selfhosted IR able to access it. That way you can avoid this error.

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