Defining the data synchronization

You can decide for every level (entities, attributes) whether data are to be synchronized with one or several external data destinations. A complete synchronization setting always consists of a data destination and the start date as of which data are to be synchronized and the aggregation configuration for controlling the granularity of the synchronization.

Synchronization settings are inherited to the respective subordinate levels.

Prerequisite

At least one data destination has been set up. See the section Setting up the Data Destination for more details on setting up a data destination.

Procedure

The procedure for setting up data synchronization is the same for entities and attributes. The areas for settings are located at the following points:

  • Entities: In the Synchronizations section of the respective entity.
  • Attributes: In the Synchronizations tab of the respective attribute.

Note

Attributes of type aggregation are currently not supported to be synced with a data destination.

To define the data synchronization, follow these steps:

  1. Select the entity or attribute for which you want to set the data synchronization.
  2. Depending on your choice, navigate to one of the points mentioned above.
  3. Click 136885514251-d2e4585.
  4. Select the data destination and the start date, configure aggregation and activate data synchronization by using the blue slider. The following screenshot shows the settings for the entity level as an example.

Result

The data are synchronized with the selected data destination. The respective synchronization status is indicated by one of the following icons.

The status of a superordinate object is always also the status of the subordinate levels.
