Hello,
My copy activity reads from a directory.
if the file is not present in teh directory then it fails.
How can I prevent this failure so that the pipeline continues to the next activity? because in the next activity I have a if condition
thank you
Hey, You can use Get meta data activity and its property of IsExists. If file exists is True, then proceed with True else skip
I am using copy activity to get data from http and land it in storage account
I then used get metadata activity with exists but the copy fails because the file is not present on the http and so the copy fails and so does the pipeline
the copy activity is reading from http source and so can not use getmetadata as you suggested it seems.
