The OCP database is not included in the free version of OCP. The free version syncs data in real-time without using the OCP database, letting you access public apps and data syncs.

Contact your Customer Success Manager if you have any questions.
:::

With Optimizely Connect Platform (OCP), you can sync your Optimizely Content Marketing Platform (CMP) Digital Asset Management (DAM) data to Optimizely Graph in real-time.

After you configure the CMP to Optimizely Graph data sync, it syncs any updates to that data from CMP to Optimizely Graph in real-time. You can also trigger a full sync if you want to sync existing CMP data to Optimizely Graph in addition to the real-time updates that sync from the point you save the data sync.

## Configure the data sync

1. Go to **Data Setup > Sync Manager**.
2. Click **New Sync**.
3. Complete the following for the sync source:
   - **Sync Name** – Enter a name for this data sync, like *CMP to Graph*.
   - **Source** – Select **Content Marketing Platform**.
   - **Instance** – Select the CMP instance from which you want to sync DAM data.
   - **Object** – Select the data type that you want to sync from DAM, like **Image**.
4. Complete the following for the sync destination:
   - **Destination** – Select Optimizely Graph.
   - **Instance** – Select the Optimizely Graph instance to which you want to sync DAM data.
   - **Content Type** – Select the Optimizely Graph data type to which you want to sync DAM data, like **CMPImage**.
   - **Status** – Select the CMS status for the content. See [View versions](docId\:Njaa8NTN5oZnQF0qrsVja).
   - **Language** – Select the Optimizely Graph `locale` for the content. See [Locale](docId\:pKHrUv6GUYS304syIPCSL).
   - **Delete Mode** – Select the data deletion type between **None**, **Soft, **and **Hard**. 
     - **None** – Data is not deleted.
     - **Soft **– Retains the data but updates the record with an expired timestamp.
     - **Hard** – Permanently removes the data. Subsequent API calls for the asset ID return a *Not Found *error.
5. Connect specific CMP DAM fields with Optimizely Graph fields in the **Field Mapping** section. Alternatively, click **Auto-map fields **to automatically map data fields from your source product to your destination product.
   - Click **Select source field…** to choose a source object or array from the drop-down list. Enter your field name in the search bar to find a specific field by name. You can also select nested fields within a parent object. For example, under **Content**, you can choose data types such as **Type** or **Value**. Click **Compatible** to view fields that match the required format, or **Suggested** to see fields recommended by CMP.

     **Note**

     Ensure the data types are compatible between mappings. For example, if the source field data type is string, the destination field data type must also be string.
