What Does the exclude_mode Parameter Do?

Question

What does the exclude_mode parameter do?

Environment

Fivetran REST API

Answer

If you try to reload the schema using the Fivetran REST API and set the exclude_mode parameter, it will have a different outcome based on which of the following values you set it to:

• EXCLUDE - disables all the tables while reloading the schema. It is similar to unchecking all the tables in the Fivetran dashboard.
• INCLUDE - enables all the tables while reloading the schema. It is similar to checking all the tables in the Fivetran dashboard.
• PRESERVE - preserves all selected schemas and tables in their standard configurations.
