Task Management

This page describes common operations for integration tasks, including the task creation flow, start and stop behavior, task states, and run history. For source-specific configuration, see the detailed task guides.

General Task Creation Flow

  1. Navigate to Data > Data Integration and click Create Task.
  2. Select an existing data source.
  3. Fill in source-side parameters based on the task type, such as file path, source table, sync mode, or filter conditions.
  4. Preview the source data and verify the schema and field types.
  5. Select the target warehouse, target database, and target table.
  6. Create the task and start it when needed.

Starting and Stopping Tasks

After a task is created, its initial state is Stopped. To begin synchronization or ingestion, click Start on the task.

Task List

To stop a running task, click Stop. The task will shut down gracefully and save its current progress.

Task Status

The Data Integration page shows all tasks and their current status:
