Is there any way to increase source peak connections on "copy data" activity?
Max write connections are set to 32 but I can't find any option (if possible) to increase read connections.
It reads from physical SQL server and saves into Azure SQL as shown on screenshot.
Hello Kris_KB
The following works for me when copying from Azure SQL DB. I haven't tried with SQL Server but I think it should work.
You will need to decide on a partition column with an appropriate data type (integer, date, datetime). The lower and upper bound can be hard-coded (1 and 5000000 for example), or you can lookup the min/max of your partition column in a lookup step beforehand, and then set those dynamically using activity outputs (e.g.
@{activity('Lookup Min and Max Partition Range').output.firstRow['Max_Partition_Key']}.
For more information, refer to this document:
As mentioned in the doc, higher parallelism doesn't always lead to better performance, so you may have to do some testing to find the best number.
Hope this helps.
