How the connector loads data

Initially, data connectors retrieve a full history for each subject to generate an initial history of events. In each subsequent data retrieval, each connector handles the data load differently.

  • Full load: All data from the source system is loaded into Visier.
  • Delta load: Only changed data is loaded into Visier. A delta load may take either the entire history or a specific number of years of history for each changed record.
  • Snapshot load: All data at a particular point in time. A snapshot load does not contain historical records or show changes over time.
  • Partial load: A subset of data is loaded into Visier.

After the initial load, this connector only retrieves data for changed records.
