Synchronization of Sources and Dashboards
If you do not set a time for the task to run, an automation process updates BI platform data as per the sources configured in the SOURCES tab.
The process is triggered by one of the following conditions:
The time set in the Run Task at field.
If that field was not set, five minutes have elapsed since the end of a scheduled source period (for example, if the source is scheduled to run between 8:00 and 19:00 daily, updating will start at 19:05).
If a specific camera has been configured as a source, and a user has requested that it be processed within the REVIEW or RESPOND solution, the RESEARCH platform will also be updated during processing (with a latency of a few minutes).
Processing time depends on a range of parameters such as video length, the number of objects, etc.
In addition to processing, the RESEARCH platform’s update process runs every 5 minutes and loads data incrementally to the RESEARCH platform. (Note that if you are using aggregated data, the RESEARCH platform’s update process runs one time per day.)
Here is an example of the synchronization.
If you have a source scheduled from 10:00 – 14:00 (10 am to 2 pm), it will run five minutes later at 14:05 (2:05 pm).
Let’s assume that the processing runs so that:
At 14:10 (2:10 pm) you have 1,000 objects. In the dashboard at 14:10 (2:10 pm) or a minute later, you will also see 1,000 objects.
At 14:25 (2:25 pm), the processing ends and you have 2,500 objects. However, in the dashboard you still see only 1,000 objects per this source.
At 14:30 (2:30 pm) or a minute later, you will have 2,500 objects in the dashboard.
