For information on registering a data source via Edge, go to Registering and synchronizing a data source via Edge.
You can refresh a schema manually, but you can also create a schedule to refresh a schema on a regular basis.
You can only create a refresh schedule for schemas of databases that are registered as a data source, not from CSV or Excel files.
Tip You can schedule the refresh during the data source registration process or afterwards via the Schema asset.
- To enable a scheduled schema refresh, you have to save the credentials in the configuration of a data source registration.
- The refresh schedule uses Quartz Cron expressions.
- If you use the schema for Tableau stitching, you have to restitch after each schema refresh to make sure that all relations are up-to-date.
