What the Data for This Category Looks Like

Data for this category comes primarily from customers' historical business systems, CSV/Excel templates, and database export files. Updates occur per order or irregularly. Daily supporting documents include data templates, migration plans, field mapping tables, and migration verification reports. Data fields cover business identifiers, business attributes, association relationships, and more. Units are defined by the customer's original system or import template, with no unified fixed format. The implementation process requires confirming field mappings, cleaning dirty data, and conducting post-import sampling checks. Errors may lead to historical data loss, field misalignment, or customer rejection.

The diversity of data sources and formats requires scheduled tasks to adapt to multiple data source types and field rules, preventing import failures caused by format incompatibility. Irregular update patterns mean task trigger timing should not rely on fixed cycles, and must support on-demand or event-driven triggering. The field mapping and dirty data cleaning links are time-consuming and error-prone. Automated tasks must embed pre-checks and cleaning logic to intercept abnormal data in advance. Post-import sampling checks require automated verification rules to ensure data compliance before migration completes. Complete logs must also be retained after task failures to facilitate retrospective analysis.

How to Set Configurations

This configuration is compatible with FastGPT v4.17.0

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
Task Trigger TimingTrigger per migration plan / Event triggerAdapt to irregular data update patterns, avoid wasting resources from fixed cycles
Single Import Data Volume5000–10000 recordsBalance system load and import efficiency, meet batch data processing needs
Dirty Data Processing ThresholdCalibrated via actual testingAdapt to differences in customer data quality, avoid incorrectly intercepting valid data
Task Timeout Duration1800 secondsCover the time required for batch data cleaning and import, avoid abnormal task interruptions
Verification Rule Trigger NodePre-import / Post-import samplingCorrespond to field mapping and sampling check links, detect data misalignment issues early
Failure Retry Count2 timesRespond to temporary network fluctuations or system jitter, reduce manual intervention costs

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Symptom: Import task status remains unchanged for a long time, but system monitoring shows the process is still running. Cause: No dirty data processing timeout branch configured, a large amount of dirty data cleaning work causes task deadlock.
  • Symptom: Unable to customize trigger rules, only fixed cycle execution is supported. Cause: Event trigger configuration item not enabled, no association with field mapping changes or data upload events.
  • Symptom: No verification result feedback after scheduled task execution. Cause: No automated log output configured for post-import sampling checks, making fault troubleshooting difficult.

How to Confirm Proper Configuration

  • Upload a test CSV template, trigger the scheduled task, and check if the import log includes field mapping verification records.
  • Configure an event trigger rule, upload test data that meets format requirements, and confirm the task starts automatically and generates a migration verification report.
  • Simulate a dirty data scenario, confirm the task triggers preset processing logic and generates exception logs.
  • View the task management interface, and confirm that the timeout duration and retry count configuration values match the preset plan.
