Automated Continuous Microsoft Planner Replication to Google Cloud SQL

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Microsoft Planner data into your Google Cloud SQL instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.

Configure Google Cloud SQL as a Replication Destination

Using CData Sync, you can replicate Microsoft Planner data to Google Cloud SQL. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab. Then select the appropriate destination based on your Google Cloud SQL service (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server).

MySQL

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select MySQL as a destination.
3. Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to MySQL, set the following:
   • Server: The IP address or domain name of the server you want to connect to.
   • Port: The port where the server is running.
   • User: The username of a user with read/write access to the database.
   • Password: The password of a user with read/write access to the database.
   • Database: The name of the database.
4. Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. Click Save Changes.

Jump to configuring the Microsoft Planner connection.

PostgreSQL

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select PostgreSQL as a destination.
3. Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to PostgreSQL, set the following connection properties (CData Sync ships with the Npgsql ADO.NET Provider for PostgreSQL):
   • Server: The address of the server hosting the PostgreSQL database.
   • Port: The port used to connect to the server hosting the PostgreSQL database.
   • User: The user ID provided for authentication with the PostgreSQL database.
   • Password: The password provided for authentication with the PostgreSQL database.
   • Database: The name of the database.
4. Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. Click Save Changes.

Jump to configuring the Microsoft Planner connection.

SQL Server

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select SQL Server as a destination.
3. Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to SQL Server, set the following:
   • Server: The name or network address of the computer running SQL Server.
   • User: The username provided for authentication with SQL Server, if using forms authentication.
   • Password: The password provided for authentication with SQL Server, if using forms authentication.
   • Database: The name of the SQL Server database.

   Java Edition

   The Java version requires the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver, which can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center. Copy the JDBC driver to the lib folder of your Java Web server to make a connection.

4. Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. Click Save Changes.

Jump to configuring the Microsoft Planner connection.

Configure the Microsoft Planner Connection

You can configure a connection to Microsoft Planner from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your Microsoft Planner account, navigate to the Connections tab.

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select a source (Microsoft Planner).
3. Configure the connection properties.
   
   

   You can connect without setting any connection properties for your user credentials. Below are the minimum connection properties required to connect.

   • InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken.
   • Tenant (optional): Set this if you wish to authenticate to a different tenant than your default. This is required to work with an organization not on your default Tenant.

   When you connect the Driver opens the MS Planner OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the Driver. The Driver then completes the OAuth process.

   1. Extracts the access token from the callback URL and authenticates requests.
   2. Obtains a new access token when the old one expires.
   3. Saves OAuth values in OAuthSettingsLocation to be persisted across connections.
4. Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. 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 10 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 Microsoft Planner data to Google Cloud SQL.
