DataSync
DataSync helps you synchronize, migrate, and consolidate data from a wide range of sources into your data warehouse. You can automate jobs to keep replicated data up to date, merge information from different platforms (such as Oracle or Salesforce), and manage both incremental and full data loads. DataSync is essential for cloud setups and highly valuable for self-hosted deployments.
Install DataSync as a web application on a server accessible to every user in your domain.
