Reverse Sync Logs

This pipeline can be used to request and retrieve logs generated for all errors and successful runs of reverse ETL (for all reverse ETL syncs configured). The pipeline will return data in the form of a table. The name of the table generated will be the same as the Dataset Name given by you while configuring the pipeline. The table created can be viewed from two places on the DataChannel Console: The 'Data Preview' tab of the configured pipelines; and also from the 'Data Explorer' tab on the sidebar.

The table contains the fields: row_id, ts_created, start_time, end_time, status, rows_moved, id, sync_name, account_name, reverse_connector_name, rows_processed and errors. The status column will indicate whether the run was successful or erroneous. For erroneous runs the details will be visible in the errors column in JSON format. This can be understood from the following sample table:

Setting Parameters

Parameter Description Values

Fetch Mode

Optional

Specifies the manner in which logs data will be fetched from DataChannel : FULL will fetch the entire object and INCREMENTAL will only fetch the new records after the latest update.It is suggested that the pipeline be executed in incremental mode.

{Full, Incremental}

Default Value: INCREMENTAL

Insert Mode

Required

This refers to the manner in which data will get updated in the data warehouse, with 'Upsert' selected, the data will be upserted (only new records or records with changes) and with 'Append' selected, all data fetched will be inserted. Selecting 'Replace' will ensure the table is dropped and recreated with fresh data on each run. Recommended to use "Upsert" option unless there is a specific requirement.

Datapipeline Scheduling

Scheduling specifies the frequency with which data will get updated in the data warehouse. You can choose between Manual Run, Normal Scheduling or Advance Scheduling.

Manual Run

If scheduling is not required, you can use the toggle to run the pipeline manually.

Normal Scheduling

Use the dropdown to select an interval-based hourly, monthly, weekly, or daily frequency.

Advance Scheduling

Set schedules fine-grained at the level of Months, Days, Hours, and Minutes.

Dataset & Name

Dataset Name

Key in the Dataset Name(also serves as the table name in your data warehouse).Keep in mind, that the name should be unique across the account and the data source. Special characters (except underscore _) and blank spaces are not allowed. It is best to follow a consistent naming scheme for future search to locate the tables.

Dataset Description

Enter a short description (optional) describing the dataset being fetched by this particular pipeline.

Notifications

Choose the events for which you’d like to be notified: whether "ERROR ONLY" or "ERROR AND SUCCESS".

Once you have finished click on Finish to save it. Read more about naming and saving your pipelines including the option to save them as templates here
