ABSCopy (Deprecated)

Description

Copies all the blobs in an ABS container to another.

info
  • Ensure that you have properly configured Azure Blob Storage (ABS) connection source and destination resources set up under the Resources folder.
  • ABS file names are case-sensitive; therefore, abc.JPG, abc.jpg, and ABC.jpg will be saved as different files. To ensure consistency, we recommend using lower-case file names and extensions: abc.jpg.

Configuration

FieldRequiredDescriptionExample
NameRequiredThe name of the activity. This name must be unique in a workflow.Copy Staging Images to Production
DescriptionOptionalThe description of the activity. We recommend you make this as clear as possible to guide execution, foster understanding, and support collaboration.Copies images from the staging-files container to corresponding virtual directories in the production-files container.
Source ABS ConnectionRequiredThe predefined resource that you want to use to access the ABS blobs that you want to copy./Resources/ABS Resources/Source ABSConnection
Target ABS ConnectionRequiredThe designated resource used for accessing the destination ABS Storage container./Resources/ABS Resources/Target ABSConnection
Source ContainerRequiredThe name of the ABS container from which you want to copy blob files.staging-files
Target ContainerRequiredThe name of the ABS container to which you want to copy blob files.production-files
Source PathRequired

The location of the virtual directory that contains the blobs that you want to copy.

Note

While entering the path, only include the virtual directories without adding the container name, because the container name is already specified.

For example, consider the following complete path:

production-files/web-content/media/images

In this complete path:

  • production-files is the blob container.
  • images is the virtual directory that contains the blob you want to update.
  • web-content/media/images is the path to the blob.
Target PathRequired

The location of the virtual directory into which you want to copy blob files from the source container.

Note

While entering the path, only include the virtual directories without adding the container name, because the container name is already specified.

See example above.

In this instance, the target path is web-content/media/images, because we want the Staging and Production environments to have the same folder structure.

MoveOptionalInstructs the application to move blobs instead of copying them.NA
