Source Settings

Settings enable the customization of how data is read from the source data store. Key options include query timeout, partition options for parallel data read, and enabling/disabling fault tolerance. This enables improved control and optimization of data extraction.

The value is inserted as attributes on the generated source node of the Copy Activity — for example the REST, OData, Dynamics, and file source variants.

When to Change This Setting

Leave this blank for standard copies. Set source attributes when an extraction needs source-side options such as a longer query timeout or partitioned parallel reads.
