How to setup Incremental Replication

Hi,I have 3 years worth of data. All the data stay the same but the latest 3 months are dynamic. I need to replace the old data with the latest data. But if I do “Drop Table”, it drops all the data and bring all 3 years worth of data and sometimes the system dont seem to be able to handle it.  I would like to keep everything and just have the last 3 months tables dropped and replaced. I dont want the system to have to bring ALL data from the past 3 years. I just need the last 3 months dropped and replaced.  What setup should I do?

Sync Kafka source and max rows

Hi,I have Sync version 24.3.9120.0 and I’m using Apache Kafka as source. It’s working fine, except little irritation. When I run task it will replicate only first 150 000 rows and stops after that. Next time I run the task, it replicates 179 000 rows and so on. Row count will increase. Seem to be randomI can run job multiple times and it will continue where it was stopped earlier. Is there way to change this behavior, so that all rows will be replicated at once?

CData Sync - Loading/Replicating data in a looping batch

Hi there.Is there a way of replicating data in batches.We are looking at a lambda approach with small incremental replication, followed up with a weekly full reload to catch late-arriving data and physical/hard deletes.The challenge is that the full reload data volumes are too large for the server hosting our CData Sync. Even with the JAVA heap adjustments.I was wondering if we could do the reload/replication in a looping process.  The source is Snowflake the target is Azure ADLS2 parquet files.

MSSQL to Snowflake CDC Load Task failing

Hi all,Our team is using CData Sync to extract and load data from SQL Server to Snowflake. The source MSSQL table is CDC-enabled, and we have created a CData Job with Change Data Capture enabled. We started testing the task with smaller tables (containing 100K - 300K records), and the task was successful without any issues. However, when trying with larger tables (containing 10M - 35M records), we faced failures every time.I have attached the error output for your reference. Has anyone come across this scenario? Any replies or help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.Error output: "2024-11-14T02:25:19.555+0000 2 [32|Q-Id] Failed to cache row [501097] The query was canceled."We tried running the same task with a few manipulations, like reducing the source table records to 1M over 10M but had no luck. We are not facing any other issues besides "Failed to cache row." What does caching mean in a CData task? Does this have something to do with the AWS AMIs? Thanks heaps,S.

Missing Salesforce Objects When Creating New Sync Task

I’ve successfully created dozens of tasks to sync certain Salesforce objects to an Oracle destination.  However there is a group of Salesforce objects that are missing when I go to create a new task.  All are created/used by the same 3rd-part ISV app, but the account I am using for connecting to Salesforce is admin and I have no issue interacting with those objects outside of CData Sync.  I’ve read where this could be a cache issue, but I have not been able to find a cache refresh anywhere in CData Sync.  Would anyone have suggestions?  Thanks.

Cdata Sync SQL Server Permissions for data loads

Hey All,I am trying to adhere to the principle of least permissions. I created a SQL Server Authenticated Login for cdata to use as a service account to SQL Server. I’m not sure what permissions it needs at the database level though? I wasn’t able to find any documentation on the site about minimum permissions cdata sync service account for SQL Server would need.I allow the cdata sync service account to drop and create tables. My guess is that I only need to add the cdata sync service account user to the following database level roles in my data lake.ddl_admindb_datareaderdb_datawriterWhat I am not sure about is whether or not Cdata Sync Service Account needs to have permissions to create Schemas.Thanks

Multiple schedules for a single Sync job?

Is it possible to create multiple schedules for a single Sync job?The use case here is that I'd like to run a job only once per day on some days of a month but then multiple times per day for some other days.One idea that comes to my mind is that I can create two jobs with different schedules, but the problem here is that if a destination table is incrementally synced (which is required for large tables), two jobs will not be able to coordinate.
