Modifying an existing delimited text file connection

To modify connection settings

  1. In the Synchronization Service Administration Console, open the Connections tab.
  2. Click Connection settings below the existing delimited text file connection you want to modify.
  3. On the Connection Settings tab, click an appropriate item to expand it and use the options it provides.
  4. You can expand the following items:

    See the next subsections for the descriptions of these items.

  1. When you are finished, click Save.

Specify connection settings

In this expandable item, you can use the following options:

  • Delimited text file. Click Browse to locate and select the delimited text file to which you want to connect.
  • Access delimited text file using. Select an access option:
    • Synchronization Service account. Access the delimited text file in the security context of the account under which the Synchronization Service is running.
    • Windows account. Access the delimited text file in the security context of the account whose user name and password you specify below this option.
  • Test Connection. Click this button to verify the specified connection settings.

Specify delimited text file format

This expandable item provides the following options:

  • Delimiter. Select the delimiter used in the file you specified.
  • Use first row for attribute names. Select this check box if the first line of the specified file contains names of attributes. Otherwise, leave this check box cleared.
  • Advanced. Specify advanced options to access the delimited text file, such as encoding, row delimiter, value delimiter, and text qualifier.

Schema

You can use this expandable item to view and modify the delimited text file schema saved in the Synchronization Service configuration database.

When you create a connection to a delimited text file, Synchronization Service reads the schema in the file (that is, the fields or columns related to each record in the file), and then saves the schema in the Synchronization Service configuration database. Synchronization Service then uses the saved file schema to read and modify the data in the connected file. Should the schema in the connected file change, you will need to reflect these changes in the Schema option so that Synchronization Service could correctly handle (read and write) the data in the changed file.

This expandable item provides the following options:

  • Attributes. Lists the names of Synchronization Service attributes that correspond to certain columns or fields in the connected file. Basically, these are the names of attributes you can select and use in the Synchronization Service Administration Console for each object in the connected delimited text file.
  • Add. Allows you to add a new entry (for example, column or field) to the file schema saved in the Synchronization Service configuration database. You can use this button in case a new column or field was added to the connected file and you want to reflect this change in the file schema saved in the Synchronization Service configuration database.
  • Edit. Allows you to edit the name of the selected Synchronization Service attribute associated with a certain column or field in the connected file. For example, you can use this button in case a field or column name was changed in the connected file and you want to reflect this change in the file schema saved in the Synchronization Service configuration database. Also you can use this button to edit the display name of a Synchronization Service attribute associated with a certain column or field in the connected file.
  • Remove. Allows you to remove the selected attribute from the file schema saved in the Synchronization Service configuration database. For example, you can use this button in case a field or column name was deleted from the connected file and you want to reflect this change in the file schema saved in the Synchronization Service configuration database.
  • Reload schema. Allows you to update the file schema saved in the Synchronization Service configuration database by reloading the schema from the file to the configuration database. As a result, the file schema saved in the Synchronization Service configuration database will be completely rewritten with new data from the file.
  • Up arrow. Moves the selected attribute up.
  • Down arrow. Moves the selected attribute down.
