Syncing an Application

If an application in Data Integration was created as a copy of another application (the source), you might have to sync the application with changes from the source application.

When you sync the application (target) with the source application, any new task changes in the source are applied to the target application as a patch. For example, if integration task B was removed from the source application since the target application was created or last synced, that change is patched to the target application.

You can view the number and type of task changes to be applied before you start the sync.

    1. On the workspace home page, click Applications.
    2. On the Applications page, select the compartment that contains the application.
    3. In the applications list, click the name of the application (target) that you want to sync.
    4. On the application details page, click the Sync link that's next to the source application name.
    5. In the Sync application panel, review the changes from the source application that are applied to this (target) application when you start the sync.
    6. (Optional) Under Filters, you can use the following menus to filter the list of changes to be applied:
      • Type: Select a task type. For example, select Pipeline to show only pipeline tasks in the list.
      • Change type: Based on the specified task type, select a type of change to apply since this application was created or last synced.
        • Remove: Tasks that have been removed from the source application are removed from this application.
        • Add: Tasks that have been added to the source application are added to this application.
        • Update: Tasks that have been updated in the source application are updated in this application.
    7. Click Sync to start the sync patch process.
      A notification message appears with a View patch status link. If you click the link, Data Integration displays the Patches section of the application details page.
    For information about patches, see Understanding Patches.

  • Use the oci data-integration application create-patch command and required parameters, with the REFRESH patch type, to sync an application in Data Integration:

    oci data-integration application create-patch [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference.

  • Run the CreatePatch operation with the REFRESH patch type to sync an application in Data Integration.
