Importing Synchronization Objects

Real-time synchronization supports the import of objects through files. After a task is created, you can import object files on the Set Synchronization Task page.

Precautions

  • Only Windows Microsoft Excel 97-2003 (*.xls), 2007, and later (*.xlsx) files can be imported. The downloaded compressed package provides the templates of the two versions.
  • The file name can contain only spaces, letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and parentheses.
  • The format of the object information in the template must meet the requirements. The value is case-sensitive and cannot include angle brackets (<>), periods (.), and double quotation marks ("). Objects that start or end with a space are not supported.
  • The task in the configuration supports table-level synchronization, database-level synchronization, or file import mode. Each time you switch to a new mode, the selected or imported database objects are cleared, and you need to select or import them again.
  • If you want to import a file for mapping, fill in the first and second columns of the file based on the template. If the first two columns of a row are left blank, the row will be ignored.
  • For the task created using the file import mode, database-level and table-level synchronization are not supported after the task is started.
  • If you edit a task, the imported file must contain information about all objects. Importing only the updated objects is not allowed.
  • If you edit a task again, the objects that have been synchronized cannot be mapped again. Ensure that the object names remain unchanged after the mapping.
  • If you edit a task again, the exported object information is the synchronized object information.
  • If the verification fails after the file is uploaded, click View Failure Details to download the error information.
  • The object names entered in the Excel file must use the same letter case as the source object names.
