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:
|
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. Refer to SKP Grid Searching, Sorting, and Filtering for more information.
Quick Action Feature in the Targets Panel
You can perform the actions below using the quick action icons in the Actions column of the Targets panel. Currently, the following quick actions are supported in the Targets panel:
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.
Edit: The Edit icon allows you to edit the target datastore configuration. For example, you can select a different connection, modify the default schema and priority of this target datastore.
Delete: The Delete icon allows you to remove a target datastore from your workspace.
Editing a Target Datastore
Note
While modifying a target datastore, you cannot select a different target datastore. However, you can delete the incorrect target datastore and re-create another one with correct target datastore details.
To edit a target datastore:
In the Targets panel, select the required target datastore.
In the Actions column, click the Edit icon for the selected target datastore. The Edit Target Datastore dialog box is displayed.
Modify the required fields that needs changes.
Click Save.
Deleting a Target Datastore
In the Targets panel, select the required target datastore.
In the Actions column, click the Delete icon for the selected target datastore. The Delete Target Datastore dialog box is displayed.
Click Confirm.
The selected target datastore and its associated workflows have been deleted successfully.
