Microsoft SQL Server sources in synchronization tasks
When you configure a synchronization task to use a Microsoft SQL Server source, you can read data from a single object or multiple related objects. To read data from multiple sources, you must define relationships based on key columns or create a user-defined join condition.
To optimize performance, you can configure a filter in the Data Filters tab where you can select an object, field, operator, and enter a filter value based on which the synchronization task runs. You cannot include UTF-8 characters in a data filter on a Microsoft SQL Server source.
You can also configure an advanced filter to define a more complex filter condition, which can include multiple conditions using the AND or OR logical operators.
The following table describes the Microsoft SQL Server source properties:
