Advanced Filters
To run search queries containing complex filter expressions, use advanced data filter. Cvent advanced filter
supports AND conditional operator and some logical operators.

Note: You can determine whether a field is filterable after running the synchronization task.

1. Click Advanced in Data Filter dialog box.

The Advanced Data Filter dialog box appears.
2. Enter the Filter Expression.
3. Click OK.
The following image shows the Advanced Data Filter page:

The following is the syntax format for Filter Expression:

24 Chapter 3: Creating a Cvent Synchronization Task

 Field1<Operator1>Value1;Field2<Operator2>Value2
The following are the significance of the terms:
• Field1 and Field2 are Cvent fields.
• Operator1 and Operator2 are operators supported for filter expression.
• Value1 and Value 2 are corresponding values.
Cvent supports the following logical operators:

Operator Symbol

equals =

notEquals !=

lessThan <

lessOrEquals <=

greaterThan >

greaterOrEquals >=

contains %<value>%

DoesNotContain %<value>

startsWith <value>%

includes includes

Note: You can apply multiple filters at one instance.

For example, C_EmailAddress=’[email protected]’AND C_FirstName=’Gabriel’
You can fetch the data using advanced filter search by giving the value in yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS (Year-
Month-day Hour:Minutes:Seconds:milliseconds) format.

You can use StartDate and EndDate filter fields to configure advanced filters.

Note: The search in advanced filter functions similar to the search functionality supported by Cvent
application.

Delta Records
You can use the Cvent Connector to fetch data records that has changed over a time period for a Cvent
object.

The synchronization task fetches the data that has changed for the period that you specify in the StartDate
and EndDate filter fields.

When retrieving delta records, the Secure Agent performs the following tasks:

• Reads data that was created within the specified time period and marks them for insert.
• Reads data that was updated within the specified time period and marks them for update.
• Reads data that was deleted within the specified time period and marks them for delete

Data Filters 25
 Retrieving Delta Records
You can use data filters to fetch data records that fetch data records that has changed over a time period for
a Cvent object. The synchronization task fetches the data that has changed for the period that you specify in
the StartDate and EndDate filter fields.

Perform the following steps to fetch delta records:

1. Select Data Filters tab in a synchronization task.

The Data Filters tab appears.
2. Click New.
The Data Filter dialog box appears.

3. Specify the following details to create a data filter using StartDate filter field:

Field Type Description

Object Select the object on which you want to apply data filter.

Filter By Select the StartDate filter field.

Operator Select the Equals operator.

Filter Value Enter the filter value in GMT time zone.

4. Click OK.
5. Repeat the steps 1 to 2 and specify the following details to create a data filter using EndDate filter field:

Field Type Description

Object Select the object on which you want to apply data filter.

Filter By Select the EndDate filter field.

Operator Select the Equals operator.

Filter Value Enter the filter value in GMT time zone.

 6. Click OK.
The following image shows the data filters applied on the Registration object:

When you run the synchronization task, the Secure Agent fetches all the records that were inserted or
updated between the StartDate and EndDate that you specified in the Data Filters tab.

Rules and Guidelines for Data Filters

Consider the following rules and guidelines when you apply data filters on a Cvent object:

• You must specify the value of StartDate and EndDate filter fields in GMT time zone.
• The Cvent Web Service ignores the seconds in the datetime value specified in the filter field.
For example, 12.30.15 is applied as 12.30.00.
• If you want to use UTC time zone, set the UTC Time Zone field in the connection properties to the time
zone of the Cvent server.
If you do not specify the UTC Time Zone property and specify a datetime value for a filter field, you must
specify the value of the filter field in the time zone of the Cvent server
• If you specify a datetime value for a filter field and set the UTC Time Zone property to the time zone of the
Cvent server, you must specify the value of the filter field in GMT time zone.
For example, you must specify the value of $LastRuntime filter field in GMT time zone.
• If you use the StartDate and EndDate filter fields and set the UTC Time Zone property to the time zone of
Cvent server, you must specify the value of the filter field in GMT time zone. The value of UTC Time Zone
property is ignored.
• If you have used StartDate and EndDate filter fields in an existing task, you must refresh the existing
synchronization task.

Mappings for Cvent

Use the Data Integration Mapping Designer to create a mapping. When you create a mapping, you configure a
source to represent a Cvent object.

Cvent sources in mappings

To read data from Cvent, configure a Cvent object as the Source transformation in a mapping.

Specify the name and description of the Cvent source.

The following table describes the source properties that you can configure for a Cvent source:

Property Description

Connection Name of the Cvent source connection.

You can select an existing connection or create a new connection. You can also click New Parameter
to define a parameter for the source connection.

Source Type Type of the source object.

Select Single Object, Multiple Objects, or Parameter.

Object Name of the Cvent source object based on the source type selected.
Select the source object for a single source. When you select the multiple source option, you can add
source objects and configure a relationship between them.

The following table describes the advanced source property that you can configure in a Source
transformation:

Property Description

Tracing Level Sets the amount of detail that appears in the log file.
Select one of the following options:
- terse
- normal
- verbose initialization
- verbose data
Default is normal.

Configuration files
You must configure the schema and relationship.ini files to add custom fields in Cvent object.

Configuring the schema.ini file

To add and capture the values of custom fields supported by Cvent API in the schema.ini, follow the syntax
format. You can change an object with schema.ini file.

Use the following syntax format to configure a schema.ini file:

Contact_CustomFieldDetail="FieldName,String,250,false,false";"FieldValue,String,250,false
,false";"FieldId,String,250,false,false"
The following image shows a sample schema file:

If you want to use the schema.ini file, perform the following steps:

1. Copy the schema.ini file from <Secure Agent installation directory>\downloads\<latest

connector package>\package\rdtm\javalib\<pluginId>\ to <Secure Agent installation
directory>\apps\Data_Integration_Server\ext\deploy_to_main\bin\rdtm-extra\Cvent\
Note: If the deploy_to_main\bin\rdtm-extra\Cvent\ directory does not already exist, create the
directory.
Note: The folder name is case sensitive on Linux.
2. Restart the Secure Agent.
For more information about how to configure the Schema.ini and Relationship.ini file to read data from Cvent
custom fields using Cvent Connector in Data Integration, see
https://kb.informatica.com/howto/6/Pages/22/564698.aspx.

29
Configuring the relationship.ini for custom fields
The relationship.ini file is used to edit, change the parent or child relationship, and create custom fields.
You can create another child object with the help of relationship.ini file.

To add and capture the values of custom fields supported by Cvent API in the relationship.ini, use the
following syntax format:
Contact=Contact_CustomFieldDetail

The following image shows a sample of relationship.ini file:

If you want to use the relationship.ini file, perform the following steps:

1. Copy the relationship.ini file from <Secure Agent installation directory>\downloads\<latest

connector package>\package\rdtm\javalib\<pluginId>\ to <Secure Agent installation
directory>\apps\Data_Integration_Server\ext\deploy_to_main\bin\rdtm-extra\Cvent\
Note: If the deploy_to_main\bin\rdtm-extra\Cvent\ directory does not already exist, create the
directory.
Note: The folder name is case sensitive on Linux.
2. Restart the Secure Agent.
For more information about how to configure the Schema.ini and Relationship.ini file to read data from Cvent
custom fields using Cvent Connector in Cloud Data Integration, see
https://kb.informatica.com/howto/6/Pages/22/564698.aspx.

Custom fields addition example

To fetch the field values, you must configure the schema and relationship.ini files to add custom fields in
Cvent object.

For example, add the following configurations to fetch data from a custom field customfield1_c for Event
object:

• Add the following configuration to the schema.ini file:

Event_CustomFieldDetail="FieldName,String,250,false,false";"FieldValue,String,250,fals
e,false";"FieldId,String,250,false,false";
• Add the following configuration to the relationship.ini file:
Event=Event_WeblinkDetail,Event_DocumentDetail,Event_CustomFieldDetail

Troubleshooting
Use the following sections to troubleshoot errors in Cvent Connector.

Troubleshooting
The Secure Agent generates a log file to capture the messages generated during task configuration. The
messages are saved in the following location:

<Secure Agent installation directory>\apps\Data_Integration_Server\logs

Troubleshooting Synchronization Task

When you create a synchronization task with a configuration that is not valid, NULL error message appears.
Session Log saves the messages of a failed synchronization task.

For example, <Secure Agent installation directory>\apps\Data_Integration_Server\logs

Note: You require special privileges to run the application in debug mode.

Increasing the secure agent memory

To increase performance and avoid runtime environment memory issues, perform the following steps:

1. In Administrator, select Runtime Environments.

2. Select the Secure Agent for which you want to increase memory from the list of available Secure Agents.
