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.
