I created a REST Data Source in an application that consumes data from an external API source. I have set up a Syncronization to check for changes to the data and pull them into a local table in the Oracle database.
When I deployed this application from DEV to UAT, the synchronization was disabled in UAT, and it would not run the scheduled job until the DBA did a manual synchronization. I am assuming this enabled it. I have read that Automations are disabled on import by design, but have not been able to determine if RDS synchronizations are automations or something else.
- Are REST Data Source synchronizations scheduled jobs or automations?
- Where are these synchronization objects stored in the database?
- Is there an API to enable them, so I can include it in my deployment scripts to the DBA?
I am trying to get a better understanding of how to deploy REST Data Sources and there syncronization logic between environments being new to them.
