You can select the following type of sources from the Source Type option under the advanced source properties:
Use the following rules and guidelines to select Directory as the source type:
- •All the source files in the directory must contain the same metadata.
- •All the files must have data in the same format. For example, delimiters, header fields, and escape characters must be same.
- •All the files under a specified directory are parsed. The files under subdirectories are not parsed.
- •The connector does not perform any validation if there are multiple blob formats in the directory you select and might result into errors.
