Setup and Synchronize a Data Mirror

Overview

The sequence of activities for setting up a data mirror and continuously synchronization with the local source system.

Scenario

In this instruction you will learn how to:

1. Create a Data Source
2. Synchronize your data with the CDQ Data Model

Prerequisites

Data Storage

Step 1: Data Mirror Configuration

To configure a Data Mirror a Data Source and a Data Mapper Definition must be set.

To create Data Source:

1. Use the Create Data Source endpoint to send the below request.

2. Check the above example in the Try It Console now!
3. Set value of:
   • dataSource to YOUR_DATASOURCE_ID
   • dataMapperDefinitionId to default
   • storageId to YOUR_STORAGE_ID in Parameters section

Details of created Data Source are provided:

{
    "id": "YOUR_DATASOURCE_ID",
    "name": "YOUR_DATASOURCE_NAME",
    "dataMapperDefinitionId": "default"
}

Step 2: Synchronize Data

Data synchronization process is dependent to the size of the data to be updated:

1. If the update contains many Business Partners and the file size <= 10 MB read: File upload instruction.
2. If the update contains many Business Partners and the file size > 10 MB read: Request upload instruction.
3. If the update is for one Business Partner go to Single record update.

   • dataSource to YOUR_DATASOURCE_NAME
   • featuresOn to UPSERT_BY_EXTERNAL_ID
   • storageId to YOUR_STORAGE_ID
4. Point the file path.

In the response you will find 3 important parameters:
