Is Recursive
Determines whether or not the Copy Activity should recurse into sub-folders of the specified source directory when reading files.
When enabled, file-based Copy Activity sources that read with wildcard folder and file patterns are generated with IsRecursive="true"; sequential file-load pipelines also receive the value as an IsRecursive parameter.
When to Change This Setting
Keep the default Y to pick up files in sub-folders of the source path. Disable it when only the top-level folder should be read, for example when sub-folders hold already-processed or unrelated files.
