How to create a file with contents using ADLS GEN2 API Using ADF

I need to create a file in ALDS GEN2 using WEB API activity in ADF.

Below is the request i am using to create a file.

{
    "method": "PUT",
    "headers": {
        "x-ms-date": "Wed, 05 Mar 2025 08:25:13 GMT",
        "Content-Length": "1048",
        "x-ms-version": "2015-02-21",
        "x-ms-blob-condition-appendpos": "2097152 ",
        "x-ms-blob-condition-maxsize": "4194304"
    },
    "url": "https://sample.dfs.core.windows.net/dsa-f/saf/temp/dsa/archive/test_aud.done?comp=appendblock",
    "connectVia": {
        "referenceName": "dsadfesf",
        "type": "IntegrationRuntimeReference"
    },
    "body": "{Data_Count:2}",
    "authentication": {
        "type": "MSI",
        "resource": "https://storage.azure.com/"
    }
}

But i am getting below error and according to the documentation i have passed all the required values in header

{"error":{"code":"MissingRequiredHeader","message":"An HTTP header that's mandatory for this request is not specified.\nRequestId:safsf-ewj-sjcb-315b-cdsccdsc\nTime:2025-03-05T16:35:49.3616136Z"}}

I have referred following documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/append-block?tabs=microsoft-entra-id

Can anyone help me to resolve the above issue and create file with contents.

Authentication is System Assigned Managed Identity, please find the below screenshot

Note: In the above web api call i am trying to write the contents to existing file. If there any other way to write the contents to the file while creating itself, please help me with that.

To create the file with data, you need to Create and Append data is in three stages using this Path - Update API.

• First You need to create file using Path - Create with below details in ADF web activity.

URL - https://<storage_account_name>.dfs.core.windows.net/<container_name><folder_and_filepath>?resource=file&x-ms-version=2018-11-09

Method - PUT

Body - {}

Authentication- System-assigned managed identity

Resource - https://storage.azure.com/

Headers:

Content-type - application/octet-stream
x-ms-date - @{formatDateTime(utcnow(),'r')}

• First You need need to call the action=append to push it to the uncommitted buffer on the server e.g.

URL - https://<storage_account_name>.dfs.core.windows.net/<container_name><folder_and_filepath>?action=append&position=0&x-ms-version=2018-11-09

Method - PATCH

Body - {Data_Count:2}

Authentication- System-assigned managed identity

Resource - https://storage.azure.com/

Headers:

Content-type - application/octet-stream
x-ms-date - @{formatDateTime(utcnow(),'r')}
Content-Length - 0
x-ms-blob-type - BlockBlob

.

• Then call the action=flush and pass the position that you want the data to be flushed to e.g. here Position = no of characters in body you need to flush. e.g {Data_Count:2} - contains 14 charachters

URL - https://<storage_account_name>.dfs.core.windows.net/<container_name><folder_and_filepath>?action=flush&position=14&x-ms-version=2018-11-09

Method - PATCH

Body - {}

Authentication- System-assigned managed identity

Resource - https://storage.azure.com/

Headers:

x-ms-date - @{formatDateTime(utcnow(),'r')}

Output:
