task replicates the data for all rows of the source objects in the task. Each time the task runs, the
replication
task truncates the target database tables or flat file and performs a full data refresh from the source.
Run a full load in the following situations:
The
replication
task uses a database source.
A Salesforce object in the
replication
task is configured to be nonreplicateable within Salesforce.
If you run an incremental load on a
replication
task that contains nonreplicateable objects, the
replication
task runs a full load on the object. Contact the Salesforce administrator to get a list of replicateable Salesforce objects.
The data type of a Salesforce field changed.
If the
replication
task detects a data type change, you might need to reset the target table to create a table that matches the updated Salesforce object. Then run the
replication
task with full load to reload the data for all Salesforce objects included in the
replication
task. Alternatively, you can set the AutoAlterColumnType custom configuration property so that the target table column updates to match the Salesforce object. The AutoAlterColumnType property does not apply in certain situations, such as when the source and target data types are not compatible. For more information about the AutoAlterColumnType property, see the
