ADF Pass JSON from IF Condition to Execute Pipeline

Question

I have a job moving xml files from an ftp to on-prem fileserve and I must check first if there are any files to collect.

To do this I'm using a If Statement and because my pipeline has a For Each I can't put this in an If so have put it into another pipeline.

My question is I'm checking metadata twice and it works OK but is it possible to pass the JSON result from the first metdata above to the execute pipeline so I can remove the second Metadata task and then the filters work on output from First Metadata select?

Hello @Jay ,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

You can pass parent pipeline using the GetMetaData output property values to Child pipeline.

To do the same you need to create a parameter in child pipeline to receive data from parent pipeline.

For example, in below example I'm passing Parent pipeline GetMetaData activity output property Exists to child pipeline

Master Pipeline:

Child Pipeline:
