Activities

Pipelines now have the following control activities:

• Execute pipeline: Calls another pipeline in the same factory.
• For each activity: Executes activities in a loop similar to any for each loop in structured programming languages.
• Web activity: Used to call custom REST endpoints.
• Lookup activity: Gets a record from any external data. The output can later be used by subsequent activities.
• Get metadata activity: Gets the metadata of activities in ADF.
• Until activity: Loops the execution of activity sets until the condition is evaluated to true.
• If condition activity: This is like any if statement in standard programming languages.
• Wait activity: Pauses the pipeline for a time before resuming other activities.
