Importing Synchronization Objects¶
Real-time synchronization supports the import of objects through files. After a task is created, you can import object files on the Set Synchronization Task page.
Note
Only Windows Microsoft Excel 97-2003 (
*.xls) and 2007 and later (*.xlsx) files can be imported. The downloaded compressed package provides the templates of the two versions.The file name can contain only spaces, letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and parentheses.
The format of the object information in the template must meet the Excel file requirements. The database object names (such as the database name, schema name, or table name) in the file is case-sensitive and cannot include angle brackets (<>), periods (.), double quotation marks ("), and cannot start or end with a space.
The task in the configuration supports table-level synchronization, database-level synchronization, or file import mode. Each time you switch to a new mode, the selected or imported database objects are cleared, and you need to select or import them again.
If you want to import a file for mapping, fill in the first and second columns of the file based on the template. If the first two columns of a row are left blank, the row will be ignored.
For the task created using the file import mode, database-level and table-level synchronization are not supported after the task is started.
If you edit a task, the imported file must contain information about all objects. Importing only the updated objects is not allowed.
If you edit a task again, the objects that have been synchronized cannot be mapped again. Ensure that the object names remain unchanged after the mapping.
If you edit a task again, the exported object information is the synchronized object information.
If the verification fails after the file is uploaded, click View Failure Details to download the error information.
The object names entered in the Excel file must use the same letter case as the source object names.
