Hi ,

I need to migrate datasets in data factory to gen 2 , which are currently pointing to Gen1 datalake.

We have around 500 datasets pointing to Gen1 Datalake.

How can we make them point to Gen2 datalake?

Hi Erika Gupta

Good day!

Azure Data Factory offers a scale-out, managed data movement solution. The article below shows you how to use the Data Factory copy data tool to copy data from Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1 into Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2. You can follow similar steps to copy data from other types of data stores.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/load-azure-data-lake-storage-gen2-from-gen1

Because of the scale-out architecture of Data Factory, it can ingest data at a high throughput. For more information, you can see Copy activity performance.

Hi Subroto,

Thanks for this information.

The challenge I am facing now is not migrating the data but the Source /Sink datasets which are being used in pipelines.

Thanks

Erika

Migrating data from Gen1 to Gen2 is easily accomplished.

We are facing issue in migrating the datasets (Source/Sink)which are pointing to Gen1.
