    Good morning. Yes I have it working now. These are the steps used for the solution.

    Key Recommendations:

     

    1. We indexed the vast majority of columns in a custom view. 

     

    2. Using implementation 2.0 we did not have the option to select a specific view. We could only select 'All Columns' or 'Default View'. Regardless of what we selected as the default, it would not work. So we went with implementation 1.0 and it synced.

     

    3. Upon connecting to the data source we deleted all unncessary columns in the third step. 1st - Source, 2nd - Navigation, 3rd - Remove Columns. This helped greatly reduce loading times and obtain the data.

    We verified all permissions were correct and expanded the cache memory to the highest it could go. Not sure what help those things did but we were kind of throwing spaghetti at the wall.
