Hi @K, Aswathi ,
Can you please let us know what is the driver you are using in the copy activity? (What option was selected while creating sink data set , blob or data lake?)
Hi @Suba Balaji ,
Thank you for the response. We are using Azure data lake storage Gen2 for both source and sink data set.
Please let me know if you need any other details.
Hi @K, Aswathi ,
Please verify if you have enabled hierarchical namespace in the storage account you are seeing this issue in. You may find the property in the Azure portal storage account blade.
I could see the namespace disabled @Suba Balaji
@Suba Balaji , you are correct. In copy activity I have used Data lake Gen 2 but the storage account itself is a blob storage. That is causing the issue I guess.
Hi @K, Aswathi ,
Did you get a chance to check on the issue? Were you able to make it work? Lookong forward to your response.
Thanks
Yes @Suba Balaji . Changed to storage account and enabled hierarchical namespace, we are able to do the copy activity as expected. Thank you
Then please create a new storage account and make hierarchical namespace enabled and use that in the linked service and try.
Let us know how it goes.
Sure @Suba Balaji . Thank you.
Hi @K, Aswathi ,
Thanks for your confirmation, request you to accept the answer as it will be helpful to the community too.
Best Regards.
Hi @K, Aswathi ,
Just checking to see if you have any other doubt with respect to the blob formation. If all good, request you to please accept the above as answer for the benefit of the community.
Thanks

Sure @Suba Balaji , thanks for your help. Accepting the answer.
