    Hi Ka13 ,

    Yes we can read this query in a copy activity. First convert this select query to json 

    import json
    from notebookutils import notebook
    nb_result = {
        "select_query": select_query
    }
    notebook.exit(json.dumps(nb_result))

    Then in pipeline add notebook activity and connect to copy data. In the dynamic content of copy data, add this json expression.

    @json(activity('Notebook1').output.exitValue).select_query

    This works.

    If this post helps, please accept this as a solution. Appreciate your kudos.

    Thanks,

Hi Ka13 ,

The exitvalue returned from mssparkutils.notebook.run() is always a string. We need to first parse into json using function - json.loads to access its element. Please see the below code.

import json
parsed = json.loads(exit_value)
schema = parsed["parent1"]["Details"]["schema"]
table = parsed["parent1"]["Details"]["table"]

The above code worked for me. Please see and let me know if it resolves this issue.

If this post helps, please accept this as a solution. Appreciate your kudos.

Thanks,

Pallavi_r

    Thanks Pallavi for your reply. 

    Can we pass the above ExitValue from one notebook to another Notebook activity and access the values of schema and table in another Notebook?. Can you please suggest

      Hi Ka13 

      Yes definitely. Please see this. Below code is written in 2nd notebook calling another notebook.

      exit_value = mssparkutils.notebook.run(
          "nb_begin",
          timeout_seconds=60
      )
