On this page you have to specify the changes you want to detect and report with Sprinkler to the remote system. This page is populated with a list of all existing tables on the database.
- Action Toggle Visibility: switch between the listing of all tables (default) or the tables currently configured for the referred Peer.
- Menu Menu Replicate: shows the advanced functionalities to replicate immediately the selected table to the currently Remote Peer.
All configurations on this page are referred to the peer shown into the field Peer Server ID
Functionalities
- For each table you can choose to detect every INSERT, MODIFY, DELETE and/or RENAME transaction;
- On an INSERT transaction, you can choose to detect and report all or even a limited set of fields; among this set, only the not-empty fields at the time of INSERT statement will be reported (this is relevant in case of DelayedInsert); the fields composing the Primary Key will be reported in any case.
- On a MODIFY transaction, you can choose to detect and report all or even a limited set of fields; note that any modification to a key field is reported as a RENAME.
- On a DELETE transaction, only the fields composing the primary key will be reported.
- On a RENAME transaction, only the key fields will be reported, (both with original and modified values). Please refer to page RENAME Important Topic for more informations.
- It is possible to setup one or more fields on a table to be read-only, or even the whole table; it is also provided a setup to disable the RENAME operation for a table.
- Every INSERT, MODIFY, DELETE, RENAME report is a single atomic operation, belonging to the same transaction of the trigger OnDatabaseInsert, OnDatabaseModify, OnDatabaseDelete or OnDatabaseRename of ApplicationManagement codeunit.
Important advise
- <html><span style=“color:red;”>Please remember that Sprinkler is NOT AWARE of the meaning of a specific field value. The most important example is the [Dimension Set ID] field: if you copy this value from an Environment to another, you never get the same set of Dimensions. We are working on this topic to offer an easy solution to replicate the Dimensions changes in a future Sprinkler release. Please remember to exclude this field from your actual replication schema.</span></html>
