ADF stored procedure executed multiple times

Matthew Pruett 96

I have a stored procedure activity in a pipeline that is triggered daily. This activity seems to be executing once, but for some reason the procedure itself executes multiple times and causing a deadlock.

The retry value is set to 0, so I am not sure what would be causing this behavior.

{
"name": "Erroring stored procedure",
"description": "Call a Stored Procedure",
"type": "SqlServerStoredProcedure",
"dependsOn": [
{
"activity": "ForEachProductionTable",
"dependencyConditions": [
"Succeeded"
]
}
],
"policy": {
"timeout": "7.00:00:00",
"retry": 0,
"retryIntervalInSeconds": 30,
"secureOutput": false,
"secureInput": false
},
"userProperties": [],
"typeProperties": {
"storedProcedureName": "[dbo].[MyStoredProcedure]"
},
"linkedServiceName": {
"referenceName": "<redacted>",
"type": "LinkedServiceReference"
}
}

Hi @Matthew Pruett ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for posting your query here.

Could you please check below once. And share updates to understand issue better. Thank you.

Is your Stored procedure activity inside for each activity?

If yes, Could you please check, how may items you have in array which you are passing to For each activity?

That's the odd thing. The stored procedure activity is not part of a foreach activity.

Hi @Matthew Pruett ,

It would be great if you can share your entire pipeline json along with pipeline snippets to understand better and help on resolution. Thank you.

What ended up working for me was splitting the primary stored procedure up into multiple procedures. I don't think ADF handles very well the case of a single monolithic procedure that calls many other procedures.

Could you please share your entire pipeline json to try at our end too. Also, you mean your stored procedure internally calling many other store procedures too? Kindly confirm.
