Note

When you a create data variant for Functional Location data agent SACI_AGENT_FUNCTIONAL_LOCATION, where Functional Location is replicated as Equipment in asset central foundation, make sure you maintain the value for the parameter DO_ID. The value for DO_ID should be the Functional Location synchronization Mobile Data Object ID SACI_FUNCTIONAL_LOCATION_SYNC.
If the Data Agent ID is not appearing in the drop-down menu, refresh the web session.
When creating a Data Variant make sure that at least one selection filter is defined. If all the selection filters are empty, the relevant schedule will not be considered for the initial load replication.
When creating Data Variant for the Equipment data agent SACI_AGENT_EQUIPMENT or Functional Location data agent SACI_AGENT_FUNCTIONAL_LOCATION, make sure that the General Parameters SKIP_HIERARCHY_SYNC is set to True. The hierarchy synchronization is not applicable during header replication as we have a separate data agent for Hierarchy. In addition, you can also set the parameter SYNC_CHARACTERISTIC_VALUE to True, to run the characteristic value synchronization as part of header replication.
When creating Data Variant for the Equipment Hierarchy data agent SACI_AGENT_EQUIPMENT_HIERARCHY and the Functional Location Hierarchy data agent SACI_AGENT_FUNCTIONAL_LOCATION_HIERARCHY, make sure that the System Parameters FLAG_RELOAD is set as True.
