New Idea
Auto Compare Data being loaded to an Object
I don't normally post ideas. But, I think this one would greatly benefit everyone, especially GS.
I have been doing a lot of work in IBM's environment optimizing their rules. One way we are optimizing them is doing a fetch of old data and fetch of new data. We then merge and compare the two. If any values don't align we push the record to upsert.
It would save a lot of time if we can have this auto done.
It would essentially only be available when loading to a GS object or SFDC object and is an update or upsert. But, essentially when we build that action we would/could have a check box. When checked, the rule would automatically on the back end fetch the fields that are being pushed to and then do a comparison of data points based on the mappings in the action. The merge of those datasets would be based on the identifiers marked. If any of the fields are not the same then push the record for updating.
Not only does this benefit people/GS Admins from having to build this part out. It will save loads of time on rule run times across all customers as pointless records would no longer need to be actioned on, stream lining the load process. Especially since building it out manually is not really a concept many people get and requires extra effort when they can just push everything.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, need further details, or an example of how this is done manually.
