Validation failed while upgrading Azure blob to datalake gen 2

Question

Hi @Pratik Somaiya , @Nandan Hegde ,
I am upgrading Azure blob storage to DataLake gen 2. I have already created few pipelines in adf in which there was a delete activity with logging enabled and i have given a path to a blob container for the logged files. Now when i tried to upgrade to datalake gen 2 validation got failed saying that "Incompatible feature soft delete". Now i disabled "Ënable Logging' in all the adf pipeline even i removed the path of the blob folder and deleted that folder from blob storage as well but still i am getting this validation failed message. I am not able to get that what changes are still needed. see the error -

Answer 1

Hey,
Based on the error message, you might need to disable the soft delete feature.
To disable container soft delete for your storage account by using Azure portal, follow these steps:

In the Azure portal, navigate to your storage account.

Locate the Data protection settings under Data management.

Uncheck soft delete for containers.

Post that try upgrading! Hope this should help.

hi @Nandan Hegde ,
The issue has been resolved sometimes it took almost 24 hrs to delete all the meta data even after disabling the soft delete. So i just copied all the files creating issues to the new storage account and then deleted those files from the original storage account. Then i tried to upgrade it and it successfully upgraded to datalake. I did this because i didn't have time to wait for 24 hours . But finally the issue is resolved. Thanks for your support and quick reply. See you soon
