Starts an external program or script and waits for it to finish, capturing its console output into the job result.
How to use the action
The action runs as a step in a SyncTool configuration. You configure the step's settings (e.g. server, login, path, format or SQL depending on the action) and run the configuration. The action fetches the data it needs from Sapera or the external source itself – you do not map source columns as you would for a regular import. Any parameters are described below.
