Step 2: Synchronizing the staging database

Synchronizing the staging database is the second step in the data integration process. Synchronization can occur many times because data integration is an iterative process when models and dimensions are created or modified in Planning Business Modeler. You can also script synchronization by using the Herramienta de comando de planeación. For more information, see Scriptable data integration.

Precaución:
The synchronization operation overwrites the existing tables for those dimensions and models that you select.

To synchronize dimension and hierarchy data that has changed because of actions in Planning Business Modeler, you can run a partial synchronization. For more information about the tools that you can use to run a partial synchronization, see Step 5: Loading data from staging to application database
