i had to recreate a connection but the data is already sycned. How do I include the connection state with the latest updated_at values for the new connection

To include the connection state with the latest

updated_at

values for your new connection, you can follow these steps: 1. Copy the State from the Existing Connection: - Navigate to the existing connection you are duplicating. - Go to the

Settings

tab and open the

Advanced

settings to see the connection state. - Copy the state to your clipboard. This step ensures that you have the latest state information, which includes the

updated_at

values. Source: [Upgrading to Destinations V2 - Additional Steps for Incremental Sync Modes](https://docs.airbyte.com/release_notes/upgrading_to_destinations_v2#additional-steps-for-incremental-sync-modes) 2. Update the State in the New Connection: - Go to your newly created connection. - Replace the state with the copied contents from the previous step. - Click

Update State

. This will ensure historical data is not replicated again. Source: [Upgrading to Destinations V2 - Additional Steps for Incremental Sync Modes](https://docs.airbyte.com/release_notes/upgrading_to_destinations_v2#additional-steps-for-incremental-sync-modes) 3. Use the API to Update the State: - You can also use the Airbyte API to update the connection state. Here is an example of how to do it using a

POST

request to `/api/v1/state/create_or_update`:

bash    curl -X POST -u airbyte:password -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{      "connectionId": "your-new-connection-id",      "connectionState": {        "stateType": "stream",        "connectionId": "your-new-connection-id",        "streamState": [          {            "streamDescriptor": {              "name": "products"            },            "streamState": {              "seed": -1,              "updated_at": "2023-08-03T14:47:19+00:00"            }          },          {            "streamDescriptor": {              "name": "users"            },            "streamState": {              "seed": -1,              "updated_at": "2023-08-03T14:47:19+00:00"            }          },          {            "streamDescriptor": {              "name": "purchases"            },            "streamState": {              "seed": -1,              "updated_at": "2023-08-04T14:47:19+00:00"            }          }        ]      }    }' <https://local.airbyte.dev/api/v1/state/create_or_update> | jq

Replace

"your-new-connection-id"

with the actual ID of your new connection and update the

updated_at

values as needed. Source: [Github Issue - Connection State should be Editable](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/29016) By following these steps, you can ensure that your new connection includes the latest state information, preventing the re-syncing of already replicated data.

can you give me an example connecton state for shopify @kapa.ai

Sure! Below is an example of a connection state for the Shopify source connector. This state is used to track the progress of incremental syncs for different streams. The example includes states for the

customers

and

metafield_customers

streams.

json [   {     "streamDescriptor": {       "name": "customers"     },     "streamState": {       "updated_at": "2023-06-14T09:40:41+02:00"     }   },   {     "streamDescriptor": {       "name": "metafield_customers"     },     "streamState": {       "customers": {         "updated_at": "2023-03-30T05:32:13+02:00"       },       "updated_at": "2021-09-01T17:57:41+02:00"     }   } ]

In this example: - The

customers

stream has an

updated_at

timestamp of

2023-06-14T09:40:41+02:00

. - The

metafield_customers

stream has two

updated_at

timestamps: one for the

customers

object (

2023-03-30T05:32:13+02:00

) and one for the

metafield_customers

stream itself (

2021-09-01T17:57:41+02:00

). This state information helps the connector determine which records have been updated or created since the last sync, ensuring that only new or modified data is fetched during incremental syncs. For more details, you can refer to the original [GitHub issue](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/27355) where this example was discussed.
