You want to use a pipeline to copy data to a folder with a specified name for each run. What should you do?

• A. Create multiple pipelines - one for each folder name
• B. Use a Dataflow (Gen2)
• C. Add a parameter to the pipeline and use it to specify the folder name for each run
• D. Rename the destination after each run

Answer: (C)

Parameterizing a pipeline lets you drive dynamic destinations with a run-time value. Define a parameter for the destination folder name, reference that parameter in the sink path or dataset, and pass the actual folder name when you start the pipeline. This approach lets a single pipeline handle any folder name for each run, keeping things scalable and automated.

Creating multiple pipelines would duplicate work and be hard to maintain. A Dataflow (Gen2) focuses on transforming data, not orchestrating per-run destination paths. Renaming the destination after each run is manual and error-prone, breaking reproducibility.
