Compare-Object Powershell to validate a folder copy

Question: As part of a nightly ETL process , a bunch of folders\files are copied from one location to another. The contents of the folders are processed via a SSIS job. How can I validate the copy is successful?

Answer: Compare-Object Powershell can compare the contents of the folder and report on differences.  Build in a compare step before the SSIS process step . If there are differences after the copy , trap the error and log the difference

The Compare-Object cmdlet compares two sets of objects i.e Reference Set and Difference Set

copy .\difftest1\* .\difftest2$dir1 = Get-ChildItem .\difftest1 -Recurse$dir2 = Get-ChildItem .\difftest2 -RecurseCompare-Object $dir1 $dir2 -IncludeEqual$diff = Compare-Object $dir1 $dir2if($diff){        "WARNING: There are differences between the source and target folders"}else{   "SUCCESS:The folder contents copied successfully"}
