Remarks

Behavior of SearchPattern match varies for different source directory types and setting of Recursive: When source is local directory path, SearchPattern is matched against source file name as standard wildcards. If recuresive is set to false, only files directly under the source directory will be matched. Otherwise, all files in the sub-directory will be matched as well.

When source is Azure blob directory, if recuresive is set to true, SearchPattern is matched against source blob as name prefix. Otherwise, only Azure blob with the exact name specified by SearchPattern will be matched.

When source is Azure file directory, if recursive is set to true, SearchPattern is not supported. Otherwise, only Azure file with the exact name specified by SearchPattern will be matched.

If SearchPattern is not specified, "*.*" will be used for local directory source while empty string for Azure blob/file directory. So please either specify the Search Pattern or set Recursive to true when source is Azure blob/file directory, otherwise, no blob/file will be matched.
