Source

To get set up with the Azure Blob Storage connector, you will need the following:

  • Connection URL
  • SAS Token

To find the URL of the blob is by using the Azure portal by going to Home > Storage Account > Container > Blob > Properties.

The SAS Token can be found under the Shared Access Signature tab. More information about SAS tokens can be found here

Extract

For each extract, the following information is required:

  • Container Name
  • Load type
    • Load a single file.
    • Load all files inside an entity.
  • Entity name
  • File name
    • Needs to be known when the Load a single file option is selected.

Incremental

When the load method is set to append and there are files that have been updated since the last load then the whole file will be appended.

Limitations


  • When loading all files from inside a entity, the data structure of each file must be identical.
