@rajendraongole1 Thanks for sharing this video. It was really helpful. Now I understood my mistake. I was reffering URL from container properties instead of referring it from Storage account endpoints .Now it's working fine.

Check Storage Type:

  • Go to Azure Portal > Storage Account > Configuration
  • Ensure Hierarchical namespace is Enabled (required for ADLS Gen2)

Verify Container:

  • Confirm the container name (adlf-blob) exists and is correctly spelled (case-sensitive).

Use Correct Connector:

  • If hierarchical namespace is not enabled, use Azure Blob Storage connector instead of ADLS.

Thanks,
Bhavin

@BhavinVyas3003 Thanks for replying . Yes Hierarchical namespace is Enabled and container name is also correct. Now I understood my mistake. I was reffering URL from container properties instead of referring it from Storage account endpoints .Now it's working fine.
