Hi,
I have developed a pipeline which brings data from rest api and copies into adls, but sometimes we are not receiving data and an empty array is copying into adls,
could anyone help me how to avoid this
Hey,
Can you share the output format of the REST API?
Below can be 1 of the methods:
Use web activity to get the result of REST API and leveraging the web activity output, you can use If activity with @empty() expression to check whether the output is present or empty.
If empty then ignore else leverage Copy activity
Hi Nandan,
Thanks a lot, it is working.
But do we have another option to do this check , something like lookup activity?
tried with lookup, and iam able to acheive this.
Thank you
Can you please provide a sample. So I have web api that save the file to adls. Do I need another one to check if there is data in the Json file. and then wrap @empty(@activity('Get Data').output)
