Topology
The naming and graphical representation of a set of objects participating in a synchronization process is known as a topology. The synchronization flow(s) in a topology are grouped and depicted as pipelines. A topology can consist of one or more synchronization pipelines. Pipelines are auto-generated when the topology is created. You cannot manually create your own pipelines.
An example of a topology with a single auto-generated pipeline is shown below:
An example of a topology with multiple auto-generated pipelines is shown below:
Pipeline ID
The pipeline ID is required for a variety of scenarios. A few examples are shown below.
Example | Description |
|---|---|
| Replaying messages from a dead letter queue |
| Running an upload from command line |
| Locating connector logs associated with the pipeline |
You can find the pipeline ID using the vdsconfig command line utility with the list-topologies command. The "pipelinesIdentifiers" property returns the pipeline ID. An example is shown below.
You can find the pipeline ID from the Main Control Panel > Global Sync tab.
Select the topology and hover over the name property of the pipeline. An example is shown below.
