Answer 1

Hi @Vineet S

You may use the Copy data tool in the ADF to copy data. Basically it creates a pipeline that copies data from the source folder in Azure Blob Storage to a target folder. Refer the quick start tutorial below.

@Vineet S - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.  

Here is the example of copying file from one location to another: 

Step1: Create a storage account and create two containers named Input/ganesh and Output/sravan to copy the file from one location to another. 

Note: Uploaded a sample JSON file to Input container in the storage account. 

Step2: Create Azure data Factory and launch azure data studio. 

Step3: After opening, click on Author, pipelines and click on new pipeline and enter the name of the pipeline named CopyFromOneLocationToAnother aka ganeshpipeline 

Step4: Click on "Move and transform," then drag and drop the "Copy activity" into the middle area. Next, click on "Source," then click "New." Enter a name for the dataset, choose the data store, and select the file type you want to copy.

Step5: Now, select the subscription and the storage account name that you created, and then click "Create."

Step6:  Choose the folder where the file is located, then select the file. 

Step7: Click on "Sink," then click on "New Dataset." Choose the data store and select the file type. 

Step8: Now select the folder to which you want to copy the file. 

Step9: Click on "Validate" to ensure your pipeline is validated successfully without any errors.

 

Step10: Click on "Debug," wait for a moment, and you will see that the pipeline status is "Succeeded."
