with Data Factory V2 I'm trying to implement a stream of data copy from one Azure SQL database to another. I have to merge multiple tables into one target table.

To do this I created a lookup activity that creates the name of the three tables to be copied. The output JSON file is passed to a foreach activity that should copy the data of each table into the destination table, but the pipeline execution is not successful.

I report the code of my pipeline below:

{
"name": "FLD_Item_base",
"properties": {
    "activities": [
        {
            "name": "myLookup",
            "type": "Lookup",
            "dependsOn": [
                {
                    "activity": "myStoredProcedure",
                    "dependencyConditions": [
                        "Succeeded"
                    ]
                }
            ],
            "policy": {
                "timeout": "7.00:00:00",
                "retry": 0,
                "retryIntervalInSeconds": 30,
                "secureOutput": false,
                "secureInput": false
            },
            "typeProperties": {

                },
                "dataset": {
                    "referenceName": "TLD_Item",
                    "type": "DatasetReference"
                },
                "firstRowOnly": false
            }
        },
        {

                        "inputs": [
                            {

                                "type": "DatasetReference"
                            }
                        ],
                        "outputs": [
                            {
                                "referenceName": "TLD_Item",
                                "type": "DatasetReference"
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                ]
            }
        }

Pipeline execution returns the following error:

{
"errorCode": "400",
"message": "Activity failed because an inner activity failed",
"failureType": "UserError",
"target": "IterateSQLTables"
}

Does anyone know how to solve the problem? Thank you

Please try @activity('myLookup').output.value instead of @activity('myLookup').output in the items of activity IterateSQLTables.

You can find document for lookup activity here
