About the Alias Sync Tool
The Alias Sync Tool is a Python script that resolves possible issues with aliases and joins that involve aliases. You can learn more about an alias in Concepts → Alias.
A System Administrator with root access to the host running an Incorta Node is able to run the Alias Sync Tool for each tenant in your Incorta cluster.

Copy the file to the Incorta Node
- Using Secure Copy or similar, copy the
alias_sync.pyto the/tmp/directory to an Incorta Node in your cluster, typically an Incorta Node running an Analytics Service. - Change the ownership permissions to that of the
incortauser or of the user that runs the Analytics Service process - As the
incortauser, copy thealias_sync.pyfile to the<INCORTA_NODE_INSTALLATION_PATH>/IncortaNode/bindirectory
Run the Alias Sync Tool
The alias_sync.py script has four parameters:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Incorta_URL | This is the HTTP URL for the Analytics Service. This must be HTTP and not HTTPS. The default port for the Analytics Services is 8080. |
| Tenant | The name of the tenant |
| username | The login name (username) of the Super User (tenant administrator) |
| password | The password for the Super User. The password cannot contain special characters |
Important
The password for the Super User cannot contain special characters. An argument with special characters will break the alias_sync.py script.
For each tenant in your Incorta Cluster, run the following command:
python alias_sync.py <Incorta_URL> <Tenant> <username> <password>Example
python alias_sync.py http://myincortacluster.com:8080/incorta/ mytenant myadmin mypassword
