Sync manager overview

The Optimizely Connect Platform (OCP) Sync Manager lets you map data between Optimizely products and initiate a scheduled or real-time, automated data sync that runs until you pause or delete it.

You can have many active data syncs moving data between systems and keeping data up-to-date and actionable. Use the Sync Manager to create data syncs, view existing data syncs and their state of activity (active, paused, completed, error), view error details, make changes to existing data syncs, and view key metrics like records synced and failed records.

Data sync sources and destinations

The main components of an OCP data sync are sources and destinations.

• Source – Where you want to sync the data from, such as the OCP database or a custom source defined through a custom OCP app.
  • Optimizely Content Marketing Platform (CMP)
  • OCP database
  • OCP App
• Destination – Where you want to sync the data to, such as an Optimizely application or a custom destination defined through a custom OCP app.
  • Optimizely Graph
  • OCP App

OCP provides the previously listed sources and destinations. The OCP App option displays as a Source and Destination when you use the OCP developer platform to create custom data sync sources and custom data sync destinations.

Manage your data syncs

After you create a data sync, each data sync has the following management options when you click More (...):

• Executions – View all the sync details, including the date and time stamp of each individual sync, how long the sync took, and any error messages that occurred during a sync.
• Trigger now – Initiate an immediate data sync.
• Start – Only available for paused data syncs. Click Start to re-enable the data sync according to the existing sync settings.
• Edit – Make edits to a data sync, like changing the name, field mappings, sync schedule, and so on.
• Delete – Delete a data sync. This is permanent, and you cannot undo it.
