Activity Dependencies with Logical AND in ADF

Introduction

In this article we are going to discuss about Activity Dependencies at ADF Control flow. As a SSIS developer we all have Experience about Precedence Constrains and how useful it is when building SSIS control flow. In ADF we have the similar concept with some limitation. Depends on this, we have to design our control flow in ADF.

Hope it will be interesting.

 

Precedence Constraints in SSIS

Before moving further, we have to review our SSIS Precedence Constraints.

 


Here we have:

1.      Constraint – Success, Failure, Completion

2.      Expression

3.      Logical AND / OR

 

It is really flexible.

 

Activity Dependency in ADF

 


 

In ADF Activity Dependencies provides only Logical AND not any Logical OR.

It has Add Activity on:

1.      Success

2.      Failure

3.      Completion

4.      Skipped

 

ADF Control Flow Wrong Design Pattern

 


 

In the above control flow design patter, the Stored Procedure Activity is not executed until The Get Meta Data Activity and ForEach Activity gives some error. As we told before that Activity Dependencies comes only with Logical AND operator. So, in this situation if both the Get Meta Data Activity and ForEach Activity Fails then the Stored Procedure Activity is Executed others Not.

 

ADF Control Flow Correct Design Pattern

To fix the above scenario, we can move into two approaches.

 

Approach-1

 


 

Approach-2

 


 

 

 

Hope you like it.

Working with Spark – Spark RDD

Image
Introduction In my previous blog post, we are discussing about Hadoop Map Reduce. Now in this blog post we are going to discuss about Spark Fundamentals concept like RDD. RDD stands for  Resilient Distributed  Dateset , these are the elements that run and operate on multiple nodes to do parallel processing on a cluster.  Hope it will be interesting. What is RDD According to Apache Spark documentation -  " Spark revolves around the concept of a resilient distributed dataset (RDD), which is a fault-tolerant collection of elements that can be operated on in parallel. There are two ways to create RDDs: parallelizing an existing collection in your driver program, or referencing a dataset in an external storage system, such as a shared filesystem, HDFS, HBase, or any data source offering a Hadoop InputFormat ". RDDs are immutable elements, which means once we create an RDD we cannot change it. RDDs are fault tolerant as well, hence in case of any failure, they ...

Working with Python – Module

Image
Introduction In this blog post, we are going to discuss about Python Module. Before that, we have to understand what the module is. Module is a code Library. Remember, when we are at C or C++, we are using #Include statement at beginning of the code to call specific code library. How to Create a Module If we need to create a module, we just save our code with  .py   extension. def  greeting(name):    print ( "Hello, "  + name)   Suppose, we have the above code and we are just saving the code in the name of  mymodule.py Calling Module   import   mymodule mymodule.greeting( "Mayuree" )   Hello, Mayuree   If we are looking at the calling procedure. mymodule . greeting ( "Mayuree" ) mymodule  – Module Name greeting  – Function Name   Can we assign Variable in Module   Module can have function that we already demonstrate. However, it can also have Variables. Example: ...
