Creating Varicent Incentives as a connector

Abstract

Add your Incentives instance as a connector for imports and exports.

In Varicent ELT, you can add Incentives as a connector for imports and exports. You can use this connection to import data from Incentives for objects like tables, calculations, and data stores. You can also export your Varicent ELT results to a new table in Incentives or update an existing one.

Before you begin, ensure that the data you are working with is in the proper date range of 1677-09-21 00:12:43.145224193 and 2262-04-11 23:47:16.854775807. Varicent ELT doesn't support dates outside of the date range. If the dates are outside of the date range, you could see the following behaviour:

  • The date range shows the wrong dates if you don't drop or obfuscate columns.

  • The date range shows blank dates if you drop or obfuscate columns.

  1. From the Data tab, click Import data.

  2. Select Varicent Incentives as a third-party source.
