Flows contain one or more flow steps. Each flow is a distinct sequence of the types of flow steps listed below:
This step loads the source data and passes it on to the next step.
This step converts the source data to the Gateway data structure and the destination data structure.
This step compares the source and destination data and identifies changed, deleted, and added objects so that the system can synchronize the data efficiently.
To ensure that the data that follows the same structure when it is compared, both the source and the destination data must be converted to the Gateway format before it can be compared. When identifying objects that are deleted in the source data, the compare step uses the cross reference table to determine whether the data has been synchronized in the past, the presence of the data in the cross reference table indicates that the data has been synchronized in the past. During the Compare step, the system marks objects that have been deleted in the source data for deletion in the destination system only if the record is in the cross reference table and a delete parameter is associated with the flow.
This step compares the source and destination data and identifies the delta or differences for the next step.
Note: Project flows support the Compare step. Master data flows do not support the Compare step.
(Optional) This step enables you to review the source data before updating the data in the destination application.
This step saves the data into the destination system.
