Field

Description

Build And Refresh

Click to build the package and download active tables from the source. If the package already exists, the table is refreshed (i.e., data is downloaded from the source database). If the package does not exist, a package is immediately scheduled to be built and the table is refreshed. The Refresh icon is disabled for DBMoto® package types because the refresh is run by DBMoto® instead of by Collect.

NOTE: If the data in the table has been purged manually, or the retention expiration date for that object has passed, it cannot be refreshed and this icon is inactive. Refer to Purge Data for more information.

Reset

Click to reset a running refresh. This process activates the Refresh icon and triggers batch job schedule to calculate new run dates for next scheduled refresh. Reset source if the download process backs up due to network problems.

Build Package

Click to build a package to download active tables from the source.

NOTE: If the data in the table has been purged manually, or the retention expiration date for that object has passed, it cannot be refreshed and this icon is inactive. Refer to Purge Data for more information.

Refresh

Click to manually extract a copy of data from the source and load into the target.

Target

Displays the target database where tables are refreshed with source data.

Source

Displays the database where data is refreshed from and stored in the target.

Table

Displays table in the source database.

Active

If enabled, table is active. Only active tables are downloaded from the source during refresh. Default value is Active.

Description

Displays information about table, for example, data contained within table.

 

Advanced Settings tab

Field

Description

Table Rename

Displays the table name of the renamed table in target database. New table name must contain [TableName]. At run time, [TableName] is replaced with processing table name.

Where Clause Override

Displays a Where Clause that is used to limit data downloaded during a refresh process.

Table Schema Owner

Displays the database’s schema for the table.

NextRun

Displays next date and time when the refresh process is scheduled to run.

Package Type

Displays package type to refresh the target table with source data. Default value is CranPort.

Package Name

Displays name of package that refreshes target table with source data.

NOTE: The package name is set automatically and displays after the package is built for the package types CranPort, SSIS, or Data Services. The package must be manually built and the package name must be entered into Collect for package types ManualCranPort, ManualSSIS or Manual Data Services.

NOTE: The package name must follow the naming convention #Database#%#Source#%. Refer to Create Packages for more information.

NOTE: For Manual Data Services package types, select from the list of available jobs in the Data Services Repository assigned to the target on the Targets page’s Vertical View.

Schedule ID

Displays schedule for when target tables are refreshed with source data. Options are controlled in Common > Configuration > Schedules. Default value is Use Source Schedule setting. No Table Override Requested.

Schedule Group

Displays schedule to build packages, refresh or filter on tables in a group. Schedule Groups are managed in Configuration > Schedule Groups. Default value is No Group.

NOTE: If building a group with a DBMoto® package the following applies: 
If Schedule Group is set to NO GROUP, both Download and Mirror package will be built as an individual replication in DBMoto®. 
If Schedule Group is set to AUTO and if it is a Download package, the replication will be part of a group named <GroupPrefix>_Downloads. Otherwise, if it is a Mirror package the replication will be part of a group called <GroupPrefix>_<number> where number is an incremental value to count the number of groups. Groups cannot contain more than <Group_Size> replications. 
If Schedule Group is set to "existing group name" with no restriction to the <Group_Size> parameter the replication is built into that group. 

NOTE: The Replication Mode must be consistent with the Replication Group Mode (e.g a download package cannot be grouped with a mirror package). 

Synchronous

If enabled, packages for Data Services jobs execute synchronously.

If disabled, packages for Data Services jobs execute asynchronously.

With synchronous execution, the build package jobs respect the queue and wait until jobs are finished before starting another job.

This option applies to the Data Services Package Types.

Schedule Single Thread

If enabled, table is downloaded from the source in a queue with all other single-threaded tables. Default value is Disabled.

Pooled Table Name

Data Controller

Displays the user responsible for the processing of personal data in the table

Any user or group who is assigned the Data Controller role must have a user account in the DSP. Data Controller must have access to the target based on their assigned security role and security key.

NOTE: The Collect Administrator must check the WORK FLOW SUMMARY check box for the target and Data Controller on the Workflow Summary User Settings page. The Data Controller is added to this page automatically. If the check box is not checked, the Data Controller will not receive a warning email that data is going to be purged.

Data Classification

Displays the nature of the data in the table, identifying whether it contains personal data and so must be purged for regulatory compliance.

Options included with the DSP are:

  • Personal — This object contains data that must be purged by a certain date. The Retention Expiration Date field must be completed for this object (for example, Customer Addresses, Employee Records, Business Partner Tax IDs).
  • Public —This object contains data that does not need to be purged (for example, Units of Measure, Material Descriptions, Country Codes).
  • Restricted — This data does not need to be purged, but is marked as restricted access (for example, Company Chart of Accounts, Recipes, Work Orders).

NOTE: These options are delivered with the DSP and cannot be updated; however, a Common Administrator can create custom classifications on the Data Classification page in Common. Refer to Add Custom Data Classifications and Information Types for more information.

Retention Expiration Date

Displays the date when the data in the table will be automatically purged when a Service page runs.

A Collect Administrator must enter a date for a table with a data classification of Personal or for any custom classification with the Retention Period Warning feature enabled.

A different retention expiration date can be set at the target and target source level.

If no date is set for the object, the data is not purged.
