When the File provider is the source provider in a master data business flow, set values and attributes for the following parameters:
- File to Upload
Enter the XML file name to be uploaded by the business flow. This option is enabled only if you chose to set up an XML deployment with the File Upload option in the Deployment tab of the Configurations page. This information is used in the Load step of the flow.
- File Name
Enter the file name to be uploaded by the business flow. This option is enabled only if you chose to set up a File deployment with FilePath or FTPService options in the Deployments tab of the Configuration page. This information is used in the Load step of the flow.
- File Parser
This parameter is applicable only if you set up a File deployment with CSV Format in the Deployments tab of the Configuration page. Select a CSV parser from the drop-down list.
When the File provider is the destination provider in a master data business flow, set values and attributes for the following parameters:
- File Name
Enter the file name to be uploaded by the business flow. This option is enabled only if you chose to set up a File deployment with FilePath or FTPService options in the Deployments tab of the Configuration page. This information is used in the Save step of the flow.
- File Generator
This parameter is applicable only if you have set up a File Deployment with CSV Format in the Deployments tab of the Configuration page. Select a specific generator from the drop-down list to write into a CSV file in the destination application.
- Provide email notification for selected job status
This parameter displays only when you have specified an Email Address in the Mail Configuration tab of the Gateway Settings page.
Use this setting to enter email IDs of individuals who would need to be notified when synchronization jobs are completed with any of the following job statuses on the Monitoring page: Completed, Review, Cancelled, Completed with Errors, Completed with Warnings, or Failed.
Select the Attach Data Details for Job check box to include details of the data transfer in the email.
- Synchronize one project at a time
A synchronization job is usually split into multiple child jobs with each child job transferring data in each project. By default all child jobs are executed simultaneously. Use this setting to determine whether to synchronize data one project at a time.
- Delete data that no longer exists in the source application?
Use this setting to determine whether data that no longer exists in the source application is to be deleted in the destination application. This parameter must be used in conjunction with the Compare flag selected in the Business Flow wizard.
Note: When you run a project data flow, it will delete only project level data in a business flow, but not the master data. This will prevent you from deleting master data elements such as resources, roles etc., that may be used in another project. However, if used in a master data flow, it will delete all relevant objects and fields.
- Only delete data that has been linked previously with the source application?
To use this parameter, you must also select the parameter, Delete data that no longer exists in the source application? During a synchronization, when the data is compared between the source and the destination application, data that has been added only in the destination application will not be deleted. However, if you deleted source data that was previously synced in the destination application, it will also be deleted from the destination application.
- Partition data to child jobs for large data transfers?
Use this setting if you are integrating large data sets between projects and between applications when P6 EPPM or Oracle Primavera Cloudis the source application. This parameter partitions large data sets logically into multiple child jobs.
- Child job object limit for partitioned data
Use this setting in conjunction with the Partition Data into Child Jobs? parameter. Enter a limit on the number of objects that can be included in the child jobs in the range 50 - 5000. Zero (0) is the default value.
