import handler
|
||
|
|
This a type of :term:`handler` which is responsible for a
|
||
|
|
particular set of data import/export task(s).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The import handler manages data connections and transactions, and
|
||
|
|
invokes one or more :term:`importers <importer>` to process the
|
||
|
|
data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that "import/export handler" is the more proper term to use
|
||
|
|
here but it is often shortened to just "import handler" for
|
||
|
|
convenience.

|
importer
|
||
|
|
In the context of WuttaSync, this refers to a type of object
|
||
|
|
which can process data for an import/export job, i.e. create,
|
||
|
|
update or delete records on the "target" based on the "source"
|
||
|
|
data it reads.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See also :term:`import handler` which can "contain" one or more
|
||
|
|
importers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that "importer/exporter" is the more proper term to use here
|
||
|
|
but it is often shortened to just "importer" for convenience.
