Answer

Dataset CSV file is the value of /dataset flag is a CSV file that contains a list of directories and/or a list of files to be copied to target drives. The first step to creating an import job is to determine which directories and files you are going to import. This can be a list of directories, a list of unique files, or a combination of those two. When a directory is included, all files in the directory and its subdirectories will be part of the import job.

For each directory or file to be imported, you must identify a destination virtual directory or blob in the Azure Blob service. You will use these targets as inputs to the WAImportExport tool. Directories should be delimited with the forward slash character "/".

Sample dataset.csv
BasePath,DstBlobPathOrPrefix,BlobType,Disposition,MetadataFile,PropertiesFile
"F:\50M_original\100M_1.csv.txt","containername/100M_1.csv.txt",BlockBlob,rename,"None",None
"F:\50M_original\","containername/",BlockBlob,rename,"None",None
