ADF branch difference

Question

hello,

I have two branches - 1 and 2

each has a pipeline with name: pl_x

The activities in each of these two pipelines are exactly the same and yet when I compare the .json there are slight differences with some of the set variables. As you see here the differences are:

set variable in branch2 pl_x does not have the following whereas the same set variable in branch1.pl_x has it

I wonder if microsoft has removed policy for retry and retryIntervalInSeconds?

thank you

Hello arkiboys,

Are you talking about the copy activity here?

The retry and retryIntervalInSeconds policies are still available in ADF.

even if you don't explicitly set these values, you are supposed to see the default values on the JSON.

default values:

"retry": 0,
  "retryIntervalInSeconds": 30,

If you are running the same pipeline, then it is uncommon for different branches to have different configuration values.

I suggest creating a new branch and create a new pull request and see if you are able to see these configuration values.

If you still see the same issue with the new branch please let us know.
