You can edit an ingestion task from the Explore page.
1In Data Ingestion and Replication, open the Explore page.
2If a list of projects is displayed, select the project or project folder that contains the ingestion task that you want to edit.
3In the list of tasks, select the row for the ingestion task that you want to edit.
4In the Actions menu for the selected row, click Edit.
The Definition page of the task wizard appears in edit mode.
5Edit the available fields on the Definition, Source, Target, and Runtime Options pages.
For a database ingestion and replication task, the following considerations apply:
- You can edit any properties that are available for editing and then redeploy the associated job. If you need to edit a connection or property that is not available, first undeploy the associated job. Then edit the task and deploy the task again to create a new job instance.
- If you change the name of a task that has been deployed, the associated job name remains the same as the original task name. If you want the job name to match the updated task name, undeploy the job and then deploy the task again to generate a new job that has a matching name.
- If you change the rules for renaming target tables for a deployed database ingestion task, the associated job creates new target tables and performs an initial load of data to these tables. If the job is for a combined initial and incremental load, after the initial load is complete, the job begins propagating data changes to the target.
Note: The database ingestion and replication job does not drop or truncate the original target tables based on the old renaming rules.
