Setup the Extraction Panel

Whenever you create an extraction, this panel will show up for you to specify which source and destination connections should be used to perform the extraction.

Extraction Details

 

Description
Enter a name for your extraction.
Unique Identifier
This is used to differentiate entries with the same name coming from multiple sources in order to keep the data integrity in the destination rows. As an example, if you have 3 sources and in each of these 3 sources you got the same invoice number, in the destination they will be kept as a distinct rows with a specific unique identifier for each sources. If for any reason you want to eliminate duplicates (ex: same customers on all the databases) you could in this case put the same unique identifier and the system will delete the duplicates and keep the definition of the last update done by the last source.
Parallel Extractions
Set the number of extractions you want to process at the same time (the higher the value is the fastest the process takes but the highest resources will be required as multiple extractions will be run simultaneously.)
Active (appears when editing)
Tick this checkbox if you want this extraction to remain active for a schedule.
Log Details
Tick this checkbox if you want a detailed log. Unlike "simple" log, detailed log includes each step of the process
Sample Records
Tick this checkbox if you want to test the settings of your extraction. If this checkbox is ticked, only 50 records by table will be synchronized.
Collations Transformation
Tick this checkbox if your source collation is different than the destination collation.

Some connections will not have a schema property (ex: mySQL, Excel, Access etc.).
