Create custom pre- and post-execution scripts

After you have selected the options to manage synchronization script output and set synchronization options, you can create custom scripts that will be run before or after data synchronization.

To set additional scripts:

1. To open the data synchronization wizard, click Synchronization arrow Synchronize objects to the target database.

2. In the Data Synchronization Wizard that opens, switch to the Additional Scripts page to add pre and/or post scripts.

3. To insert the script to be executed before data synchronization, select the Scripts to execute before check box and then select either of the following options:

  • Use embedded script: Type a script you want to execute in the text field.
  • Use external script: Click More options icon More options to specify the path to the file that stores the script. If you want to add the USE database_name clause, select the Include USE < database_name > option.

For example, you can run a script that will process transactions before synchronization.

4. To insert the script to be executed after data synchronization, select the Scripts to execute after check box and then select either of the following options:

  • Use embedded script: Type a script, which you want to execute, in the text field.
  • Use external script: Click More options icon More options to import the previously created script. If you want to add the USE database_name clause, select the Include USE < database_name > option.
