ADF pipeline passing string parameter to stored procedure error

Question

I have a stored procedure in an Azure SQL Server DB which expects a parameter '@StagingTableName' of type NVARCHAR(50).

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spValidateImportGeneric

(@StagingTableName NVARCHAR(50))

AS...

When I try to pass the parm from the pipeline as @variables('ImportTableName') - which is defined as a String, I get this error:

Cannot create Sql Source. Please double check the connection string, stored procedure are set with correct format. Error: The value of property 'storedProcedureParameters' is in unexpected type 'IDictionary`2'.

Can anyone suggest a solution.

Thanks

Nick

Answer 1

I did resolve the problem by deleting the existing parameter and replacing it with a string. This worked OK.
