This week we are launching our 'Features Highlights' video series - in which we will explain a feature on the MyRapidi platform in more depth. This week's topic will be about the RTI feature in MyRapidi. What are RTIs? And how do you work with them? Andreea, Data Integration Consultant here at Rapidi, will explain all this in this video below.
Furthermore, she will explain how RTI functions as a source control mechanism for data transfers, storing information about the last transfer time and date. The RTI is automatically updated with each transfer, and users can reset it to resend specific data by editing the RTI value. Lastly, Andreea also explains how you can translate RTI values into a human-readable date format.

RTI - WHAT IT IS AND HOW TO USE IT
In this short video, Andreea will provide a short but comprehensive explanation of the RTI ( Runtime Information) feature within the Rapidi integration platform, which is designed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of data management processes. She will answer questions like: What exactly are RTIs? How can you effectively work with them to ensure smooth data operations? Andreea will also explore how RTI functions as a robust source control mechanism specifically for data transfers, detailing how it meticulously stores critical information about the last transfer, including the exact time and date it occurred.
Each time a transfer is completed, the RTI is automatically updated to reflect the most current information, thereby maintaining an up-to-date record of all data movements.
In addition, MyRapidi users have the posibility to reset the RTI whenever necessary, allowing them to resend specific sets of data by simply editing the RTI value.
Furthermore, Andreea will guide you through the process of translating RTI values into a human-readable date format, making it easier for users to understand and track when data transfers have taken place, thus providing a clearer picture of data flow within the system.
Understanding the Role of RTI in Data Transfers
RTI plays a crucial role in managing data transfers within the Rapidi system. It serves as a reference point, storing information about the last time a transfer was executed and when data was sent to the destination system. This value is automatically updated with each transfer, ensuring that the system has the most recent data transfer information.
The RTI value is not human-readable, as it is formatted for system understanding. However, it can be translated into a human-readable date to provide clarity on when data was transferred. This translation helps users comprehend the timing of data transfers more easily.
If there is a need to reset the RTI value and resend specific data, this can be done by editing the RTI value to zero. This action prompts the system to retransfer all records to the destination during the next transfer run.
Ensuring the correct source control is enabled on transfers is essential for accurate data management. The RTI value is a vital component in this process, providing a reliable way to track and manage data transfers effectively.
KEY Takeaways
- RTI is crucial for tracking data transfers in the Rapidi system.
- It automatically updates with each transfer, storing the last transfer time and date.
- Users can reset RTI to resend specific data by editing its value.
- RTI values are not human-readable but can be translated into a date format.
The RTI is actually some sort of reference book in the sense that it stores information about the last time the transfer ran.
