Fail Activity

Anonymous — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:05:47 GMT

We have a main pipeline calling another data pipeline inside foreach loop (sequential mode). I see that even if the invoked pipeline fails, the iteration still continues instead of stopping. How we stop the pipeline execution if one of them failed, as they are in sequence and should be dependent on each other.

We have a failed activity inside the invoked pipeline, but it just executes and the second pipeline starts irrespective of the first ones status.

Hi @Anonymous ,
Thank you for reaching out in Microsoft Fabric Community.
To better understand the issue and provide an accurate resolution, could you please share a screenshot of your pipeline flow, including the activities inside the ForEach loop and their dependencies.
This will help us analyze the configuration and suggest the best way to resolve the issue.

Best Regards,
Vinay.

In Fabric pipelines, when using a ForEach loop in sequential mode, the default behavior is to continue executing iterations even if one fails. To stop execution when a failure occurs, follow these approaches:

Create a variable error (default value = 0).
Use an If Condition inside the ForEach loop:
If error == 0, execute the next iteration.
If error == 1, do nothing
Inside the if container (true). do the following:
Add an Execute Pipeline activity to call the inner pipeline
If the pipeline fails, set the error variable to 1.
