Skip Deletions

Skip deletions is a data protection feature that allows you to prevent the propagation of delete operations during data synchronization, ensuring critical data remains intact across your systems.

Overview

The skip deletions feature provides granular control over how deletion operations are handled during data synchronization. It allows you to selectively prevent deletions from being propagated to specific target databases or entities, while maintaining normal synchronization for other operations like inserts and updates.

Use Cases

Scenario Description

History Tables

Maintain complete audit trails by preventing deletion of historical records, even when source records are removed

Hot Storage Migration

Preserve data in target systems when source records are automatically removed due to TTL (Time To Live) or cleanup policies

Audit Requirements

Meet compliance requirements by maintaining a complete record of all data, regardless of source deletions

Data Preservation

Protect critical data in target systems while allowing normal synchronization of updates and inserts

Key Features

  • Selective Configuration: Configure deletion skipping per target and specific entities

  • Granular Control: Maintain normal synchronization for inserts and updates while skipping deletions

  • Flexible Implementation: Apply the feature to specific tables or entire databases based on your needs

  • Zero Data Loss: Ensure critical data remains intact in target systems

Setup skip deletions

Deletions can be skipped by toggling the Skip deletions parameter to true in the entity configuration wizard. This will prevent the propagation of delete operations to the target database, ensuring that critical data remains intact.
