How to get metadata (File Shares List) of the Storage account & configure the copy data activity for copying b/w storage accounts in the ADF?

Question

Following my previous Q&A,

How to get the File Shares list in the metadata activity and copy all the file shares and inside data as-is to the destination storage account?

Linked Service for Source storage:

Linked Service for destination storage:

Get Metadata activity:

In the Linked Service, I have edited like below:

Copy Data Activity: Source:

The issue is because you have same dataset for both getmetadata activity and source of copy activity. You can change the dataset of get metadata activity

• Click +New in the settings of get metadata activity to create new dataset.

• Click azure data lake gen2 and then click binary as dataset.
• Then give the linked service. Give the full file path in the linked service. Once created new dataset, add child items as argument in the field list.

This way, you can change the dataset in metadata activity and make sure that it is different to the one on copy activity.
