Considerations
- Scheduled imports may run fastest over weekends. The speed at which scheduled imports are processed is ultimately controlled by Salesforce, which handles resource allocation in its shared architecture.
- If an in-progress run is canceled from the Import Data tab, run results will not be recorded.
- As a best practice, if multiple schedules are created for the same source, they should not overlap in timing. In the Run Results object, the “Run Time” and “Records per Minute” fields can serve as guides as to how long a certain schedule takes to run each time. If schedules with the same source do overlap, the schedule may fail to run or a single Big Table may be imported multiple times.
- Salesforce provides native support for the type of scheduled operation used by Import Rx. Under , you can view the Salesforce Schedule Jobs records created through the Schedule Import tab. Because of restrictions in the native Salesforce scheduling, the information provided under “Next Scheduled Run” may be misleading. Accurate information on the next scheduled run is provided on the Import Data tab or Scheduled Job record.
- Checkbox fields are never null, only TRUE (checked) or FALSE (unchecked). Therefore if you want to update a checkbox field, you must check the box on corresponding row of the Mapping Page to indicate that an existing value will be overwritten.
