Dataflow Id as variable is not working in a pipeline

[gopala000]

I created a pipeline that

1. sets a variable with a value as an existing dataflow Gen2's name.
2. In the conditional, I check for the variable to match that name.
3. Execute the dataflow with the dataflowId as the variable's value. (See image)

When I run the pipeline, I get the error "Microsoft.DataTransfer.Execution.Core.ExecutionException: Refresh Dataflow failed with status: NotFound message: Not Found".  I'd expect the dataflow to run as it exist already.

Can you tell what the issue could be?

Thanks @v-kongfanf-msft !! Taking the dataflow GUID from the Url worked.

Hi @gopala000 ,

The error message “Refresh Dataflow failed with status: NotFound” indicates that the pipeline was unable to find the specified Dataflow Gen2.
The dataflowId variable value used in the pipeline is not the actual resource ID (GUID) of the Dataflow Gen2, but a Name or other invalid value. Try extracting the ID from the URL to ensure that the variable value matches that ID exactly.
