Configuring data synchronization in Service Graph Connector for Jamf

You can configure the connection properties for synchronizing only delta data from a Jamf instance.

The delta data synchronization feature is available in Jamf version 2.14 and higher. The connector provides the ability to import only delta data from a Jamf instance. With delta synchronization enabled, the importing process of Jamf data is quicker because the connector imports only the changes in Jamf data. The Last success import time field of a data source displays the timestamp of the most recent successful pull run. The delta pull period is calculated by subtracting the last successful run date and time from the current date and time that is Delta period = Current date timestamp - Last success import date timestamp.

The application includes the is_delta_enabled_for_computers and is_delta_enabled_for_mobiles connection properties to enable delta synchronization for computers and mobile devices, respectively. By default, the is_delta_enabled_for_computers and is_delta_enabled_for_mobiles properties are set to false. To enable delta data synchronization, set these properties to true.

Note:

• The is_delta_enabled_for_computers connection property is available only if the use_jamf_pro_api property is set to true.
• The is_delta_enabled_for_mobiles connection property is available only if the use_jamf_mobile_pro_api property is set to true.

See Service Graph Connector for Jamf properties.

When you want to import full data from your Jamf instance, you must disable the is_delta_enabled_for_computers and is_delta_enabled_for_mobiles properties by setting these properties to false. See Disable delta synchronization.

Note:

When the full import of data is completed, set the is_delta_enabled_for_computers and is_delta_enabled_for_mobiles properties back to true to pull delta data later. If you leave the properties set to false, full data is imported with every pull, which takes considerable time.
