Automate SAP Ariba Source Data Replication to Couchbase



Use CData Sync to Customize and automate SAP Ariba Source data replication to Couchbase.

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time access to data. CData Sync integrates live SAP Ariba Source 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 SAP Ariba Source 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 SAP Ariba Source Connection

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

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

    In order to connect with SAP Ariba Source, set the following:

    • API: Specify which API you would like the provider to retrieve SAP Ariba data from. Select the Supplier, Sourcing Project Management, or Contract API based on your business role (possible values are SupplierDataAPIWithPaginationV4, SourcingProjectManagementAPIV2, or ContractAPIV1).
    • DataCenter: The data center where your account's data is hosted.
    • Realm: The name of the site you want to access.
    • Environment: Indicate whether you are connecting to a test or production environment (possible values are TEST or PRODUCTION).

    If you are connecting to the Supplier Data API or the Contract API, additionally set the following:

    • User: Id of the user on whose behalf API calls are invoked.
    • PasswordAdapter: The password associated with the authenticating User.

    If you're connecting to the Supplier API, set ProjectId to the Id of the sourcing project you want to retrieve data from.

    Authenticating with OAuth

    After setting connection properties, you need to configure OAuth connectivity to authenticate.

    • Set AuthScheme to OAuthClient.
    • Register an application with the service to obtain the APIKey, OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret.

      For more information on creating an OAuth application, refer to the Help documentation.

    Automatic OAuth

    After setting the following, you are ready to connect:

      APIKey: The Application key in your app settings. OAuthClientId: The OAuth Client Id in your app settings. OAuthClientSecret: The OAuth Secret in your app settings.

    When you connect, the provider automatically completes the OAuth process:

    1. The provider obtains an access token from SAP Ariba and uses it to request data.
    2. The provider refreshes the access token automatically when it expires.
    3. The OAuth values are saved in memory relative to the location specified in OAuthSettingsLocation.
  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 SAP Ariba Source data to Couchbase.
