Use CData Sync to Customize and automate Cosmos DB data replication to Teradata.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Cosmos DB data into your Teradata instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.
Configure Teradata as a Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate Cosmos DB data to Teradata. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select Teradata as a destination.
- Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to Teradata, set the following connection properties:
- Connection Name: Enter a connection name of your choice.
- Data Source: Enter either the Teradata server name, the database computer (DBC) username, or the Teradata Director Program Id (TDPID).
- User: Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your Teradata account.
- Password: Enter the password that you use to authenticate to your Teradata account.
- Auth Scheme: Select the authentication scheme. TD2 is the default scheme.
- Database: Enter the name of your Teradata database.
Note: If you do not specify a database, CData Sync connects to your default database.
- Port: Enter the port number for your Teradata server. The default port value is 1025.
- Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure the Cosmos DB Connection
You can configure a connection to Cosmos DB from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your Cosmos DB account, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (Cosmos DB).
- Configure the connection properties.
To obtain the connection string needed to connect to a Cosmos DB account using the SQL API, log in to the Azure Portal, select Azure Cosmos DB, and select your account. In the Settings section, click Connection String and set the following values:
- AccountEndpoint: The Cosmos DB account URL from the Keys blade of the Cosmos DB account
- AccountKey: In the Azure portal, navigate to the Cosmos DB service and select your Azure Cosmos DB account. From the resource menu, go to the Keys page. Find the PRIMARY KEY value and set AccountKey to this value.
- Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure Replication Queries
CData Sync enables you to control replication with a point-and-click interface and with SQL queries. For each replication you wish to configure, navigate to the Jobs tab and click Add Job. Select the Source and Destination for your replication.
Replicate Entire Tables
To replicate an entire table, click Add Tables in the Tables section, choose the table(s) you wish to replicate, and click Add Selected Tables.
Customize Your Replication
You can use the Columns and Query tabs of a task to customize your replication. The Columns tab allows you to specify which columns to replicate, rename the columns at the destination, and even perform operations on the source data before replicating. The Query tab allows you to add filters, grouping, and sorting to the replication.Schedule Your Replication
In the Schedule section, you can schedule a job to run automatically, configuring the job to run after specified intervals ranging from once every 15 minutes to once every month.
Once you have configured the replication job, click Save Changes. You can configure any number of jobs to manage the replication of your Cosmos DB data to Teradata.
