SchedulersHow Hippobyte platform handles data synchronization
Schedulers allow you to specify how often data is replicated between your source application and destination database or data warehouse. Hippobyte offers two types of schedulers.
All schedules will run in the timezone of the scheduling user. i.e. a user located in New York, NY sets a collection schedule to run Once a Day at 6pm. Hippobyte will sync data at 18:00 (6pm) Eastern Standard Time.Simple Scheduler
