Automate Procore Data Replication to Couchbase

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

Configure Replication Destinations

Using CData Sync, you can replicate Procore data to Couchbase. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select Couchbase as a destination.
3. Enter the necessary connection properties.
   • Server - Enter either the host name or the IP address of your Couchbase server.
   • Auth Scheme - Select the authentication scheme. Basic is the default setting. For this setting, specify your login credentials:
     • User - Enter the username that you use to authenticate to Couchbase.
     • Password - Enter the password that you use to authenticate to Couchbase.
   • Couchbase Service - Select the Couchbase service that you want to use. The default service is N1QL.
   • Connection Mode - Select the connection mode that you want to use. The default mode is Direct.
   • Use SSL - Specify whether you want to use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. The default value is False.
   • Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
   • Click Save Changes.

Configure the Procore Connection

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

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

   Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Procore Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Procore.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Procore (see below).

   Procore API Profile Settings

   To authenticate to Procore, and connect to your own data or to allow other users to connect to their data, you can use the OAuth standard.

   First, you will need to register an OAuth application with Procore. You can do so by logging to your Developer Account and going to Create New App. Follow all necessary steps to register your app. First you will need to create a new version of Sandbox Manifest and then promote it to Production in order to get your Production Crendentials. Your Oauth application will be assigned a client id and a client secret.

   After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

   • AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth.
   • InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to manage the process to obtain the OAuthAccessToken.
   • OAuthClientId: Set this to the client_id that is specified in you app settings.
   • OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the client_secret that is specified in you app settings.
   • CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URI that is specified in your app settings
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 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 Procore data to Couchbase.
