Handling error across all activities in a pipeline

Question

I want some error processing to be done if any of the activities in a pipeline fail. I see that for every activity there is a failure workflow, but how to mention that for any failure in any of the activities, do something.

In logic apps, there is a scope which can combine activities and have error handling as a group. Is there an equivalent in ADF ? If not, what is the best way to handle such scenarios ?

Answer 1

Hey @Kothai Ramanathan (SC-ALT) ,
There are 2 ways :

1. You have 2 pipelines within the ADF
   Pipeline1 is the main pipeline which contains all the logics
   Pipeline 2 is execute pipeline activity calling pipeline1 and after that any required activity you need to work on in case of failure.

2) For each activity, failure workflow link a activity but this would create trouble in feature as there is a restriction of only 40 activities per pipeline in ADF as of today
