Overview

A Data Target is used to send query results to an external system. For example, a target may load data to another application like Adaptive Insights or Sage Intacct, or it may create a csv file on an SFTP server. The use of Data Targets saves time and eliminates time consuming manual data populating.

Details

Open

The details section documents who the data target was created and updated by and the corresponding times. This allows for easy tracking of multiple data targets.

Latest Executions

The latest executions section documents the state of the query, created time, and the status of the query. States include complete and error. When clicking on the linked State (ie Error, Complete, Pending) users can access the data stream associated with the data target. Users can compare a prior stream to a current stream (i.e. the data collected yesterday vs the data collected today).

Logs

Job logs are easily accessible via the state link in the Latest Execution section. Click the linked state and the user is taken to the Executions section. Here users view items, details and logs related to the ran job. Logs are downloadable via the download log button indicated at the top right of the log section. Logs are useful to see how much data was collected, the steps taken, and the time in which it occurred.

Execution

The execution section documents when the data target was created, started, completed and the total amount of data scanned. The status includes information regarding the state of the query. This allows for easy tracking of multiple data targets.
