I have a source which has 3 files in the folder

234390-image.png

I want to iterate through them and use copy activity to put them into sql db. Sink side only one table.

Problem is on the source side to get the file name. Following are the settings

GetMetadata Activity Dataset settings

ForEach Activity settings:
@activity('Get_Metadata_For_Perfect_Store').output.childItems

Copy Source dataset settings

Copy Source Settings:

But I am unable to get filename in the source.

    Hi,

    Inside foreach loop, you need use under source file name parameter

    @item().name

    This will be bringing the filename of each file while the loop iterates through files.

    You may refer this video, which does something similar.

    Please write, in case you need more clarity.
