Synchronous and asynchronous import sets

Hi All

What are Synchronous and asynchronous import sets?

Thanks

Asynchronous import sets -  You have to run the related transform maps manually

Synchronous import sets -  Related transform map run automatically once data imported in import set table.

Hi Amit,

An import set with a Mode of Synchronous will transform the data as soon as it is inserted (provided that the transform map already exists). By default, all Synchronousimport sets will automatically be modified to Processed at midnight. As a result, when a new insert happens to the same table, a new Synchronous import set will be created WHEREAS Changing the import set to a mode of Asynchronous and a state of Loading has the effect of not transforming the incoming data as it is inserted, but rather "loading" the import set and deferring the data transformation later, either manually, or with a scheduled script job.
