Error code: AzureBlobOperationFailed

• Message: "Blob operation Failed. ContainerName: %containerName;, path: %path;."

• Cause: A problem with the Blob Storage operation.

Invalid property during copy activity

• Message: Copy activity \<Activity Name> has an invalid "source" property. The source type is not compatible with the dataset \<Dataset Name> and its linked service \<Linked Service Name>. Please verify your input against.

• Cause: The type defined in the dataset is inconsistent with the source or sink type that's defined in the copy activity.

• Resolution: Edit the dataset or pipeline JSON definition to make the types consistent, and then rerun the deployment.

Error code: FIPSModeIsNotSupport

• Message: Fail to read data form Azure Blob Storage for Azure Blob connector needs MD5 algorithm which can't co-work with FIPS mode. Please change diawp.exe.config in self-hosted integration runtime install directory to disable FIPS policy following https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/file-schema/runtime/enforcefipspolicy-element.

• Cause: Then FIPS policy is enabled on the VM where the self-hosted integration runtime was installed.

• Recommendation: Disable the FIPS mode on the VM where the self-hosted integration runtime was installed. Windows doesn't recommend the FIPS mode.
