Overview

Cinchy provides two methods of synchronizing data: batch sync and real-time sync. You can run a batch sync as a one time data load operation, or you can schedule it to run periodically. The real-time sync pushes individual events in real-time to the target system through the Cinchy listener and worker process.
High Level Architecture
Batch Execution Flow
At a high level, running a syncdata operation performs these steps:
1.Connects to Cinchy and creates a log entry in the Execution Log table with a status of running.
2.Streams the source and target into the CLI. Any malformed records or duplicate sync keys are written to source and target errors csvs (based on the temp directory)
3.Compares the sync keys to match up source and target records
4.Checks if there are changes between the matched records
5.For the records where there are changes, groups them into insert, update, and delete batches.
6.Sends the batches to the target, records failures in sync errors csv and Execution Errors table.
7.Once complete, updates Execution Log entry with final status and execution output.
Real Time Execution Flow
At a high level, this is the process a real-time message goes through. We assume there is a listener and worker already set up.
1.Listener is successfully subscribed and waiting for events from streaming source
2.Listener receives a message from a streaming source and pushes it to SQL Server Broker.
3.Worker picks up message from SQL Server Broker
4.Worker fetches the matching record from the target based on the sync key
5.If there are changes detected, the worker pushes them to the target system. Logs successes and failures in the worker's log file.
