FOREACH single activity inside sub-activity fails at times expectedly.

I have a FOREACH activity. Sub-activity inside has an activity within that can fail at times. This is fine. However, this now causes the FOREACH activity to also be marked as failed, and follow the fail path. There is no built-in method to suppress this behavior of the internal activity. or the Foreach activity.

as seen foreach is success even if the inner activities have failed.

you need to use try catch scenario :

Hi P_work ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

Thank you NandanHegde for your valuable points,

In Try-Catch approach,

When previous activity succeeds: node Upon Failure is skipped and its parent node succeeds; overall pipeline succeeds

When previous activity fails: node Upon Failure is enacted; overall pipeline succeeds
here is more information on wait activity
