Hi Team,

How can I check in Azure Datalake my files have been updated in the last day using ADF.?

Check: 'File has been updated within the last day .'If not , do not run and pass an error. "File Name" has not been updated within last day and I need to make sure that "File Name" is updated and need to run "ADF" manually.

Please help me out if do you have any idea.

Many thanks,
Pankaj

    Hi @pankaj chaturvedi ,

    Thanks for posting query in Microsoft Q&A Platform.

    You can consider using GetMetaData activity & If activity for achieving this.

    GetMetaData activity can help to get LastModified date of file and then take that date in to If activity and validate and proceed pipeline execution accordingly.

    This video will help to understand GetMetadata activity.
    This video will help to understand If activity.

    Hope this helps. Please let us know if any queries.
