Refresh strategy

Each connector requires a defined refresh strategy that determines how data synchronization is handled.

​
Available Strategies

replace
  • Replaces entire dataset on each refresh interval
  • Best for complete dataset synchronization
  • Use when maintaining historical data is not required
append
  • Adds new records to existing dataset
  • Maintains historical data
  • Ideal for time-series or log data
  • Best when tracking data changes over time

​
