Skilljar Syncs Take a Long Time to Complete

Issue

Skilljar connection syncs take a long time to complete.

Environment

Connector: Skilljar

Resolution

To reduce sync duration, remove unnecessary tables from your connection schema:

1. In Fivetran, go to your Skilljar connection page.
2. Select the Schema tab.
3. Deselect the checkboxes next to tables you don't need to sync.
4. Click Save changes.

Deselecting unused tables reduces the number of records we re-import during each sync.

Cause

During each Skilljar connection sync, we re-import all tables included in your connection schema to capture updates and deletes reliably. In addition, the Skilljar API rate limits require us to process requests sequentially.
