While configuring cross tenant object replication using policy definition json (referencing 'https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/object-replication-overview'), getting error : ''The value 'default' is not allowed for property policyId"

Question

JSON FILE USED:
{

"properties": {

"policyId": "default",

"sourceAccount": "/subscriptions/<subscriptionId>/resourceGroups/<resource-group>/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/<storage-account>",

"destinationAccount": "/subscriptions/<subscriptionId>/resourceGroups/<resource-group>/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/<storage-account>",

"rules": [

  {

    "ruleId": "default",

    "sourceContainer": "<source-container>",

    "destinationContainer": "<destination-container>"

  }

]

}

}

Also how can I configure in this json to set "Copy Over" option to "Everything"??

Hi @Shubhangi Shukla , I understand that you have difficulty setting object replication from one storage account to another.

Please note that setting object replication using JSON file from Azure Portal, it's a 3-step process:

1. Upload a JSON file with policyId : default when you're defining the replication policy on destination storage account.
2. Download a policy definition JSON file with the policyId set by destination storage account.
3. Use the policy definition JSON file you downloaded from Azure Portal to set the object replication on source storage account.

Please follow the steps from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/object-replication-configure?tabs=portal#configure-object-replication-using-a-json-file
