Deploying an application ingestion and replication task
After you define an application ingestion and replication task, deploy the task to create an executable job instance on the on-premises system that contains the Secure Agent and the Database Ingestion agent service. You can run an application ingestion and replication job only after you deploy the associated task. When you deploy the task, Application Ingestion and Replication also validates the task definition.
If you undeploy a job and then want to run the job again, you must deploy the task again to create a new job instance. The new job instance name ends with an incremented number in the format taskname-job_instance_number. The job instance number is incremented each time you deploy the ingestion task by adding 1 to the maximum instance number across all ingestion jobs.
Before you deploy a task that is configured for a Snowflake target, you must drop the existing target tables that do not match the structure of source objects. The existing target tables might not match the structure of source objects because of newly added source fields, dropped source or target fields, or modified field null constraints or data types. When you deploy the task after dropping the existing target tables, a new set of target tables are generated based on the source object selection rules and target table renaming rules.
To deploy a task, in the application ingestion and replication task wizard, save the task and then click Deploy.
If you included spaces in the name of the application ingestion and replication task, the spaces are omitted from the name of the corresponding application ingestion and replication job.
After you deploy a task successfully, the associated job instance is in the Deployed state. You can run it from the My Jobs page that's accessed from the navigation bar of the Home page, from the All Jobs page in the Monitor service, or from the All Jobs tab on the Data Ingestion and Replication page in Operational Insights.
If the deployment fails, the status of the corresponding application ingestion and replication job is Failed. To diagnose the error, you can download the error log from the My Jobs page in Data Integration, the All Jobs page in Monitor, or from the All Jobs tab on the Data Ingestion and Replication page in Operational Insights. To download the error log, on the Actions menu for the job, click Error Log. After you resolve the issue, deploy the task again from the application ingestion and replication task wizard or from the Actions menu for the job.
