| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Follow this article when you want to **write the data into Iceberg format**. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Iceberg format is supported for the following connectors: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- [Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2](connector-azure-data-lake-storage.md) |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +You can use Iceberg dataset in [Copy activity](copy-activity-overview.md). |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Dataset properties |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +For a full list of sections and properties available for defining datasets, see the [Datasets](concepts-datasets-linked-services.md) article. This section provides a list of properties supported by the Iceberg format dataset. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +| Property | Description | Required | |
| 30 | +| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | -------- | |
| 31 | +| type | The type property of the dataset must be set to **Iceberg**. | Yes | |
| 32 | +| location | Location settings of the file(s). Each file-based connector has its own location type and supported properties under `location`. | Yes | |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Below is an example of Iceberg dataset on Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2: |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +```json |
| 37 | +{ |
| 38 | + "name": "IcebergDataset", |
| 39 | + "properties": { |
| 40 | + "type": "Iceberg", |
| 41 | + "linkedServiceName": { |
| 42 | + "referenceName": "<Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 linked service name>", |
| 43 | + "type": "LinkedServiceReference" |
| 44 | + }, |
| 45 | + "schema": [ < physical schema, optional, auto retrieved during authoring > |
| 46 | + ], |
| 47 | + "typeProperties": { |
| 48 | + "location": { |
| 49 | + "type": "AzureBlobFSLocation", |
| 50 | + "fileSystem": "filesystemname", |
| 51 | + "folderPath": "folder/subfolder", |
| 52 | + } |
| 53 | + } |
| 54 | + } |
| 55 | +} |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +``` |

| 59 | +## Copy activity properties |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +For a full list of sections and properties available for defining activities, see the [Pipelines](concepts-pipelines-activities.md) article. This section provides a list of properties supported by the Iceberg sink. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +### Iceberg as sink |

| 65 | +The following properties are supported in the copy activity ***\*sink\**** section. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +| Property | Description | Required | |
| 68 | +| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | -------- | |
| 69 | +| type | The type property of the copy activity source must be set to **IcebergSink**. | Yes | |
| 70 | +| formatSettings | A group of properties. Refer to **Iceberg write settings** table below. | No | |
| 71 | +| storeSettings | A group of properties on how to write data to a data store. Each file-based connector has its own supported write settings under `storeSettings`. | No | |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +Supported **Iceberg write settings** under `formatSettings`: |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +| Property | Description | Required | |
