    If the data you’re receiving in the response isn’t JSON, then you don’t want to have “DEFAULT” selected as the response type on the REST snap. You probably want to select “BINARY” (if XLSX) and then treat your data as such in the downstream snaps.

@Senthilnaga91 ,

As @bojanvelevski mentioned you can use the Metadata snap pack to achieve it,

Solution Approach:

  1. Create all tasks that you want to run dynamically as Scheduled.
  2. Read data from the source table with info on when to run a pipeline.
  3. Read the specific Task with the help of the Metadata snap pack.
  4. Assign new values and update the Task with the Metadata snap pack.

Set values below in the pipeline parameter:

source_proj: orgName/ProjectPath
target_proj: orgName/ProjectPath
taskToUpdate: Name of the task

Sample pipeline:
UpdateTaskInfo.slp (3.7 KB)

Let us know if this worked.

Cheers 🙂
