Once, user has connected to source applications like Salesforce and Microsoft CRM then objects will get synced and it will show on the objects tab.
Run menu to select the required commands like update database schema, source apps to database (Clean Copy), source apps to database (Incremental) to execute. As per the above commands here user has to select the Clean copy and Source to Database command to replicate all the sync objects to their database.
Once user has selected and "Run" the Command, then it will redirect to user on the log screen tab to see the status of command is completed or not. Below section explains the steps involved in source apps to database replication.
Run Process | Actions Performed |
Update database schema | Creates source apps schema into database for the selected source apps objects. |
Source apps to database (Clean Copy) | Inserts a clean copy of selected source apps object records into respective database tables & columns. |
Source apps to database (Incremental) | Performs an incremental sync from source apps to database based on the changes / edits made in source. |
Database to Source apps (By Control Flag) | Identifies changes in the Database and updates source apps records based on the database column Do_Sync_Flag attributes. This process is not compatible when Cassandra DB is used for replication. |
Start with Scheduler Jobs tab, here users can schedule the sync using Scheduler Tab.
