RS Target Connectors

TIBCO Scribe® Replication Service (RS) target Connectors allow you to replicate data coming from an RS source Connection to a new datastore.

For each entity, the source Connector specifies a DateTime field that is updated when a change occurs to a record. This DateTime field is important, to identify the point at which the last replication was run for the given entity.

Before each replication, the Agent compares metadata between the source and target Connections. The target Connector is responsible for detecting and handling changes in metadata. On initial replication, it is up to the target Connector to create a copy of the source metadata provided by TIBCO Scribe®.

For example, if the target is a database, then the target Connector executes the CreateOrUpdateObjectForReplication method to detect changes, such as a new column in the table. During replication, the table is refilled with the new data. If a new table was added, this method would also be responsible for creating a table that does not exist.
