How to migrate datalake gen1 datasets to datalake gen2 in azure data factory?

Question

Recently for our solution we are requested to upgrade to datalake gen 2 from gen 1 However i am able to load the folders and files from gen 1 to gen2 using azure data factory but in existing data factory we have multiple datasets associated with datalake gen1.

Can anyone suggest me how to change datasets from gen 1 to gen 2 in azure data factory?

Answer 1

You can be able to load the folders and files from gen 1 to gen2 using azure data factory.

In Data Factory, you can change the exist datasets like this:

Data Factory-->Author-->Dataset-->Choose the exist dataset-->New:

New linked service:

Then the dataset will changed linked to Azure Data Lake Gen 2, just choose the file you have loaded from Gen 1.

Don't forget Publish the changes.

Some limits are that you must edit the multiple datasets one by one for now.

Hope this helps.
