Database Fingerprinting Wizard - Fingerprinting Type

Administrator Help | TRITON AP-DATA | Version 8.3.x

Select this option if you want a full scan to be performed every time your data is fingerprinted. (This could be a scheduled or on-demand fingerprinting task.)

When you select this option, the entire chosen table is fingerprinted.

These settings are changed on deploy. Whenever such a setting changes, both the changed repository and the primary repository become un-synchronized.

Differential fingerprinting

This option is much quicker.

Select this option if you want the system to fingerprint only records that have changed since the last scan.

Field by which to compare scans - Indicate which field to use for the record comparisons. The crawler checks whether the specified field has changed. If it has, it re-fingerprints the last field before this one and all new fields. If it has not, the crawler ignores the table. If this field does not exist, it performs a full fingerprinting scan.

Full scan every nn scheduled scans - Because the data inside already-fingerprinted rows can change, you should run a full scan periodically. To do this, select this check box.
