Eofferix can compare the new version of the source with the received signature. If the structure has changed, the source stops updating or warns the user depending on the mode.
When to use
Use protection to prevent the schedule from overwriting the workflow with a file with a different structure.
Setting procedure
- Open the source and go to the Structure Change Protection block.
- Select a mode: strict signature, only fields and columns, only warn or not check.
- Decide whether to take into account the order of columns and nodes.
- After changing the structure, open the differences details.
- If the change is expected, accept the new structure manually.
What to check
- The mode corresponds to the risk of the process: strict for production integrations, warn only for soft control.
- The missing and added fields are visible in the modal window.
- Once accepted, the new structure becomes the baseline.
Notes
- You should disable checking only for sources where the structure changes regularly and this does not break the profile.
- Checking the structure does not replace checking the profile result.
