OnLink processes data in two steps - Get Data and Import Data. To manually test, you can click on Get Data first and then wait until you see “No more pending records. Data will be imported on next Import run.” message in Job Logs. Then, click on Import. Production runs are fully automated based on the schedule you choose.
