Schedule Connectors

Scheduled connectors ensure timely data sync, reduce manual effort, maintain system efficiency, manage database performance, and optimize functionality.

Configuration

Schedule Configuration Steps

1. Select the required connector and click the Crawl/Profile button.

   
2. Based on the connector type, a list of schemas or reports get displayed.

The list of schemas or reports can also be viewed through the connector settings.

1. Select the schemas/report groups and select the required Schedule option from the drop-down.

For example, here, the schedule option is selected in Minutes. Similarly, users can also select other scheduling options in Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, or Years.

1. Click the Schedule button to schedule the connector.

   

Reload Schedule

When the job gets stuck, use the Reload Schedule option to refresh it.

To reload a schedule,

1. Go to Administration > Schedule, and select the required schedule name.

2. Click on Nine dots > Reload Schedule option.

3. A pop-up message “Schedule Loaded Successfully” appears on the Schedule main page.

   

Delete Schedule

When the schedule is no longer applicable, users can delete the schedule using the nine dots option.

To delete a schedule,

1. Go to Administration > Schedule, and select the required schedule name.

2. Click on Nine dots > Delete Schedule option.

   
3. Click on Delete Schedule, and a confirmation message will appear.

4. Click Yes to delete the schedule, or click No to cancel the Deletion.

Edit Schedule

The Schedule Name on the Schedule main page is editable. Users can update the Schedule Name and Scheduled Time to run the job using the edit icon available on the Schedule Name column. When hovering over the Schedule Name, the user will view the edit icon configured to edit the fields.

To Edit a Schedule,

1. Go to Administration > Schedule.

2. Click the Edit Icon available beside the Schedule Name to display the Update Cron Entry pop-up window.

The Schedule Name and Cron Entry fields are editable on the Update Cron Entry pop-up window. Users can't edit the Class name.

1. Click on the Schedule Name Field to update the Schedule Name.

2. Click on the Cron Entry field to update the scheduled time for running the job.

3. Click on the Save Entry button to save the details.

Users can change the Schedule from Active to Inactive state and vice versa using the toggle icon available on the Update Cron Entry Pop-up window.

Recrawl

Scheduling recrawls update the data stored or indexed by the system, ensuring the information remains accurate. Recrawls are essential for maintaining the quality and relevance of data in systems that rely on up-to-date information.

Recrawl through Job Workflows

1. To automate this process and run it at scheduled intervals, navigate to Administration > Job Workflow from the drop-down menu. Select the Add icon in the Job Workflow screen to add a new job workflow.

   
2. Select the type of job schedule from the drop-down menu. Here, Crawler is selected from the drop-down menu.

3. Click the Schedule icon.

   
4. Users can select the Job schedule based on their requirements. As an example, here, the schedule is selected Hourly.

5. Click the Schedule button to enable the selected schedule.

   
6. Click the Save icon to save the Job Workflow.

   
7. Click the Run icon to run this Job Workflow.

   

Users can check this created Job Workflow from the Jobs module.

Delta Crawl

This option enables crawling only for added or updated objects in the data source since the last crawl.

This feature is not supported for all connectors. Refer to the connector-specific documentation to see if it is supported.

For example, if a data source contains 10 reports and only 2 have been modified since a specified time, selecting that time frame allows the system to crawl only the 2 updated reports. This approach saves time and optimizes resource usage.

The Delta Crawl option is available in the connector settings as shown below.
