After you have synchronized the data, the integration of the Amazon S3 file system is completed.
Synchronization results
After synchronization, the resulting assets are in the domain that was specified in the crawler.
Warning Do not move the assets to another domain. Doing so may lead to errors during future synchronizations. This is a known limitation.
By default, the assets are shown in a plain list, but you can enable a multi-path hierarchy to show it in a tree structure. For the best result, we recommend that you use the following relations:
- File Container contains File Container
- Directory contains Directory
- File container contains File
- Directory contains File Group
- File contains Table
- File Group contains Table
- Table contains Column
The following images shows the resulting hierarchical table.
Note In case of a partial synchronization caused by a temporary communication issue, the status of the assets that cannot be synchronized is set to Missing from source. During the next fully successful synchronization, the assets are removed or their previous status is restored, depending on their actual status in the source system.
Amazon S3 operating model
The following image shows the relations between S3 asset types and the cardinality of the relation types in the assets' assignment.
Synchronized metadata per asset type
