Configuring sync options for datasets
For files that are added to datasets through virtual connections can be set to sync automatically on regular intervals. This ensures that the users of data in the application have access to updated content.
The sync options available are:
Never
Every hour
Every day
Every week
To configure auto-sync for datasets:
On the Datasets details page, browse to the Settings tab.
In the Automatic sync options, for the Files setting, select from Every hour, Every day, or Every week.
If you are using streams to add data to datasets, for the Streams setting, select from Every hour, Every day, or Every week. Click Save.
If your dataset is already linked to virtual data sources, you get the option to enable these sync options from the Overview tab of the dataset page.
Important
When the sync options are changed from the Overview tab, the setting for both Files and Streams are changed.
If available, you can always sync files manually by clicking the Sync now option next to the files in the Dataset workspace. Clicking the button next to any file, syncs all files in the dataset.
If a scheduled sync fails, the system attempts it again at the next scheduled interval and displays an error message in the file preview.
