You can manually start a synchronization job of an ADLS File System asset. This can be useful if you want to test your crawlers, or if you want to synchronize immediately. You can also add a synchronization schedule to synchronize automatically.
Before you begin
- You have registered an ADLS file system.
- You have connected the ADLS File System asset to the ADLS Edge capability.
- If needed, you have defined crawlers.
Required permissions
- You have a resource role with the Configure external system resource permission, for example, Owner.
- You have a global role with the Catalog global permission, for example, Catalog Author.
- You have a global role with the View Edge connections and capabilities global permission, for example, Edge integration engineer.
Steps
- Open the ADLS File System asset.
-
In the tab pane, click
Configuration. - In the Crawlers section, click Synchronize now.
A notification indicates synchronization has started.
The synchronization job appears in the Activities list as a bulk synchronization.
When the synchronization finishes, the resulting assets, including their attributes and relations, are created, edited or deleted in the selected domain(s) and in the Data Sources page of Data Catalog.
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. Their previous status is restored, if they are found in the source system during the next fully successful synchronization.
