Transfers

  • 'Transfers' is the place where you can set up or configure the Transfers and you can also Run a specific Transfer manually from here.
  • A Transfer is a specification of how data should be transferred from a specific source table to a specific destination table. Hence a Transfer specifies both the Tables or objects to be exchanged and at the same time the direction for the data. If you need to transfer data in both directions, you need to create two different Transfers.
  • When a Transfer is running, it will transfer all the data in one single Transaction. When the transfer is done, a commit will be issued. If some error happens during the transfer, a rollback will be done (depending on support for commit/rollback in the systems in question) and you will be back to a well-known starting stage.

Working with Transfers

Navigating pages

  • You can navigate to subsequent pages of the Transfer list using the navigation (pagination) to the right or you can search specific Transfers by using the search field and the filter menu. 

Pagination: Show more, show less

  • The pagination: show more, show less feature allows you to select to show more or fewer records/lines on a page. For example for Transfers, we currently show 10 transfers per page.
  • Clicking on "show more" would shift to 20 transfers per page, and clicking on "show less" would change to 5 transfers per page.
  • This setting is then remembered for you on this specific device and per page and for each specific page. This gives you the ability to choose how many records/lines you would like to work with on each specific page and on each device. 

Filtering

The easiest and most powerful way to find your way around the application is to use the search functionality, filtering, and pagination placed on top of every page. Below we will explain every page separately regarding the filtering/search options:

The filtering feature on the 'Transfers' page will allow you to filter on Only Selected/Not Selected, Groups, Transfers, Status of Transfers, Destination Connection, and Source Connection. Furthermore, you can search via the search field.

  • Only Selected / Not Selected: Clicking the "check-mark" icon will give you the possibility to sort by only selected not selected
  • Groups: Clicking the "groups" icon will give you the possibility to search and filter on the name of the group
  • Transfers: Clicking the "schedules" icon will give you the possibility to search and filter on the name of the schedules
  • Transfer Status: By choosing from the  "transfer status" dropdown menu lets you choose to filter on implementing, testing, ready, live, archived, not archived
  • Source Connection: Clicking the "source connection" allows you to filter on the source connection, showing you all transfers transferred from this particular data source.
  • Destination Connection: Clicking on "destination connection" allows you to filter on destination connection, showing you all transfers that are transferred from this particular data source.
  • Search: Use the search field for free search

Color codes for transfer status

Implementing (color: red): This will be the initial status of your transfer. It indicates that you are in the process of setting it up and still working on this transfer.


Testing
 (color: orange):
 The next status after implementing will be testing. Setting the transfers to this status means you are testing it.


Ready
 (color: blue):
 This status means that you are done testing the transfer and either you have or your client has accepted the transfer. The 'ready' status means that the transfer is ready to use. 


Live
 (color: green):
 This is a special status as you cannot change your transfer to or from this status manually. For a transfer to have the status 'live', it requires that the transfer is on a schedule.
The system will automatically set the transfer to live when

  1. it is on a schedule (and the schedule is not 'Stopped') and
  2. the transfer is enabled.

When you disable the transfer or delete the schedule the status for the transfer will change to 'Ready'.

Archived (color: grey): This status you may like to use when you e.g. have made a copy of the transfer for reference purposes or later use.

Change Enabled

  • Select the Transfer(s) you wish to change and choose from the options in the drop-down either 'Enabled', 'Disabled' or 'Toggle.
  • Choosing 'Enabled' will enable the selected Transfer(s), Choosing 'Disabled' will disable the selected Transfers(s). The 'Toggle option will toggle between either Enabled or Disabled. For example, if you have an enabled transfer it will change it to disabled and on the other hand, if you have a disabled transfer it will be changed to enabled. This is convenient if you have multiple Transfers you would like either to be enabled or disabled.
