Partial refresh – application datasets

Instead of refreshing the entire database of an application, certain applications support the capability of refreshing specified datasets. Review the guides for your applications to find if this capability is supported.

Note: It is usually recommended to refresh datasets through a CloudSuite refresh instead of an Environment refresh.

Use this procedure to refresh the datasets of applications in a CloudSuite:

  1. Select Multi-Tenant > Environments.
  2. Select the target environment.
  3. Click Refresh Environment.
  4. In the Refresh Environment dialog box, specify this information:
    Source Environment
    Select the source environment.
    Full Refresh
    Deselect this check box. When selected, the selected environment undergoes a full refresh, meaning that the entire database of the target environment is refreshed. When deselected, you can choose to perform a partial refresh for the selected environment.
    Dataset(s)
    Select the datasets to refresh.
    Parameters
    Some environments display parameters. Do not change any of these values unless directed to do so by your application's user guide. Fields marked with an asterisk are required and must be filled before you submit the data refresh request.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Specify this information:
    Run Date
    Select the refresh date.
    Run Window
    Select a predefined run window from the list. The run window indicates a period of time during which the refresh can run. The refresh is started during the run window and continues running until it is finished. To prevent the server overload, there is a limit of refreshes that are allowed in a time window. If the limit is reached, the time window is not available for scheduling on the specific date. See the Window Details section in the dialog box for the specific times that are associated with the selected run window.
  7. Click Submit.

    If any required field is left blank, an error message is displayed. Specify the missing information and click Submit.
