OMBSYNCHRONIZE

Purpose

Synchronize the target metadata definition with the source metadata definition.

Prerequisites

1. The current context of scripting must be a project at least.

2. The target and/or source objects should exist in the current project.

3. No concurrent user is operating on the target.

Parameters

ReconcileCommand

Synchronizes the target metadata definition with the source metadata definition.

parseIOObject

The source object for synchronization.

parseSourceFCOSCO

The source object for synchronization.

parseTargetFCOSCO

The target object for synchronization.

setStrategyClause

The strategy to be used for synchronization. Must be one of SYNCHRONIZE_STRATEGY OR MATCHING_STRATEGY

SYNCHRONIZE_STRATEGY

MERGE or REPLACE.

MERGE : Updates the matching objects in the target with the metadata definition in the source object and creates new objects in the target for source objects that do not match.

REPLACE : Updates the matching objects in the target with the metadata definition in the source object, creates a new object in the target for source objects that do not match, and deletes objects in the target that have no match in the source.

MATCHING_STRATEGY

Indicates the matching strategy to be used between the object types in source and target. Currently, the list of available matching strategies for a source and target combination are listed below. For synchronization between RECORD and EXTERNAL_TABLE, the valid matching strategies are MATCH_BY_OBJECT_ID, MATCH_BY_OBJECT_NAME, MATCH_BY_OBJECT_POSITION. For synchronization involving OPERATOR of MAP, the available matching strategies are MATCH_BY_OBJECT_ID, MATCH_BY_OBJECT_NAME, MATCH_BY_OBJECT_POSITION, MATCH_BY_OBJECT_ID_AND_NAME, MATCH_BY_OBJECT_ID_AND_POSITION, MATCH_BY_OBJECT_NAME_AND_POSITION, MATCH_BY_OBJECT_ID_AND_NAME_AND_POSITION. Note that the source map might be modified during outbound synchronization of maps, which would require locking both the source and the target before synchronization invocation.

retrieveReconcileStrategyClause

Must of one of 'MERGE' or 'REPLACE'

retrieveMatchingStrategyClause

String representing the matching paradigm between the source and the target object. The list varies for every source and target object type.
