Outbound Jobs View

The Outbound Sync Jobs window is the execution history and live progress view for connection-driven sync work. It shows what ran, in what order, and what happened for each connection within each outbound run.

Sync Types

Outbound Jobs full sync run view

Full sync view showing fleet-wide outbound processing and aggregate progress.

Outbound Jobs single sync run view

Single sync view focused on one serial for targeted validation and low-risk testing.

Full

Full processes all source records in scope for the run. It is used when validating new mappings at scale, or when you want complete reconciliation against the destination system.

Single

Single processes one serial-targeted record. This is the safest way to validate contract, formatter, and mapping behavior before running a full write operation.

Type Best Use Risk Level Expected UI Count
Full Fleet-wide reconciliation and production runs Higher X of total fleet in scope
Single Validation, troubleshooting, and targeted correction Lower 1 of 1

Dry Run Behavior

Dry Run enabled in connection settings before executing outbound sync jobs.

What Dry Run Does

Dry run evaluates mapping and reconciliation without writing destination updates. It still performs lookup, comparison, and payload decisioning so you can confirm what would happen in a live run.

Dry Run Dashboard in Outbound Jobs

When dry run is enabled, outbound rows show a mini diagnostics dashboard under progress. This summarizes the run outcome without committing writes.

Metric Meaning
Would Update Fields/records that are eligible for update if live mode is used
Skipped Skipped by rule or by no-change reconciliation
Missing Source Required source values were absent
Missing Destination Destination record could not be resolved for target serial

Why This Matters

Dry run is the fastest safety check for contract and mapping quality. A clean dry run should precede a full live run, especially after changing contract paths, methods, formatter, or mapping values.


Progress and Status

Outbound Jobs status view showing running, completed, failed, and canceled states

Status-focused view showing mixed outcomes across outbound runs, including failures and cancellations for operator triage.

Folder + Connection Rows

Each outbound run is shown as a folder-style row with credential context and connection count. Expanding the folder shows each connection in execution order, its progress bar, and its status.

Status Semantics

Status Interpretation Next Action
Running Connection/run is currently processing Monitor progress and logs
Completed Execution finished without terminal error Review update/skip diagnostics
Failed Terminal request/contract/payload error occurred Use error details + logs to isolate contract or mapping issue
Canceled User-initiated cancellation before completion Rerun single first, then full if needed

How Outbound Jobs Relates to Dashboard

Dashboard Card

The dashboard outbound card is a live operational summary. It gives current-state visibility and quick control while a run is active.

Outbound Jobs Window

The Outbound Sync Jobs window is the historical ledger and detailed diagnostic view. Use it to inspect past runs, compare outcomes, and validate dry run behavior over time.

View Primary Purpose Depth
Dashboard Current run visibility and quick interaction High-level
Outbound Sync Jobs Run history, per-connection diagnostics, and failure analysis Detailed

Common Failure Patterns

Symptom Likely Cause Primary Check
Destination missing spike Lookup path does not expose serial fields consistently Review fetch contract endpoint and destination serial visibility
400 INVALID_CONTENT Mapped destination path or formatter mismatch Validate mapping field names and formatter selections
405 Method Not Allowed Wrong update method for endpoint Verify method in Update API Contract
415 Unsupported Media Type JSON/XML formatter mismatch for endpoint family Confirm contract formatter for update endpoint
Completed but no visible destination changes No-change/skip/null-source protections prevented writes Inspect per-field action rules and diagnostics counters

Recommended Operator Workflow

  1. Run Single + Dry Run for the target serial.
  2. Fix contract/mapping issues until diagnostics look correct.
  3. Run Single + Live and verify destination data changed correctly.
  4. Run Full + Dry Run to estimate fleet-wide behavior.
  5. Run Full + Live once results are validated.
