Load types

The load type determines the type of operation to use when the

replication

task replicates data from the source to the target.

Use one of the following load types when you replicate data:

Incremental loads after initial full load: The first time the
replication
task runs, it performs a full load, replicating all rows of the source. For each subsequent run, the
replication
task performs an incremental load. In an incremental load, the
replication
task uses an upsert operation to replicate rows that changed since the last time the task ran. You can specify this load type when the task uses a Salesforce source and a database target.
Incremental loads after initial partial load: The
replication
task always performs an incremental load with this load type. The first time the
replication
task runs, the
replication
task processes rows created or modified after a specified point in time. For each subsequent run, the
replication
task replicates rows that changed since the last time the task ran. You can specify this load type when the task uses a Salesforce source and a database target.
Full load each run: The
replication
task replicates all rows of the source objects in the task during each run. You can specify this load type when the task uses a Salesforce or database source and a database or flat file target.
