Overview

The Targets panel lists all the configured Target Datastores where the snapshot of the source data or tables gets created, generally in a working database server or directly in your target system. Examples of Target Datastores can include, but are not limited to:

  • Snapshot datastores with the SRCxxx or TGTxxx prefixes

  • Working datastores with the WRKxxx prefix

  • External datastores like target systems or staging areas

  • Syniti Drives for file exports or reporting

Note

A datastore can be registered as a target datastore only once across all workspaces.

The Targets panel displays the following columns:

Column Name

Description

Datastore

Name of the target datastore. Select a datastore to quickly view its details page in the Catalog module.

Replication Count

Total number of replications for this target datastore.

Progress Status

Provides real-time status updates on the replications and the events that a replication job processes for all replications within a target datastore. Refer to the Replication Job Progress and Status section for more information.

Last Refreshed

Timestamp of the last execution at the target datastore level.

Duration

Time taken to complete the last execution.

Priority

Denotes the order in which the target datastores are organized.

Default Schema

Displays the default schema.

Type

Type of the target system. Currently, the following system types are supported:

  • SKP Catalog System

  • Syniti Drive

Active

Turn on the toggle button to set a target datastore as Active for data replication. Turning off this toggle button disables all quick action buttons except Delete, and disables the Execute Replications button for all source datastores and replications associated with it.

Actions

Includes the quick action icons to execute all replications, schedule replication job, and modify target datastore details. Refer to the Quick Action Feature in the Targets Panel section for more information.

The Targets panel also displays the number of target datastores available in the current workspace. If required, you can expand and collapse this panel when auditing or reviewing details in this panel.

Columns in grids throughout the Syniti Knowledge Platform (SKP) can be individually customized, sorted, and filtered. You can also search for names or values for in columns that have the Search feature enabled. The selected settings are remembered per user.

  • Execute Replications: The Execute Replications icon allows you to run a replication job at the target datastore level, executing all configured replications associated with one or multiple source datastores. Refer to Execute Replication Jobs for more information.

  • Schedule: The Schedule icon allows you to schedule the execution of replications with customizable recurrence options, offering flexibility in running replication jobs at regular intervals as required. Refer to Schedule Replication Jobs for more information.
