Automated Continuous SharePoint Replication to Azure SQL

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live SharePoint data into your Azure 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 Azure as a Replication Destination

Using CData Sync, you can replicate SharePoint data to Azure SQL. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

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

Configure the SharePoint Connection

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

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

   SharePoint のベースサイトもしくはサブサイトのURL を設定します。これにより、サイト・サブサイトのすべてのリストを含むSharePoint エンティティをクエリできます。

   Authentication セクションのUser、Password を設定します。SharePoint のオンプレミス版の際にはこの値は必須です。

   SharePoint Online に接続する場合にはSharePointEdition をSHAREPOINTONLINE に設定し、User とPassword を設定します。詳細はヘルプドキュメントの「はじめに」を参照してください。

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 Transform feature to customize your replication. The Transform feature allows you to specify which columns to replicate, rename the columns at the destination, and even perform operations on the source data before replicating. To customize your replication, click the Transform button in the Tables section and customize 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 SharePoint data to Azure SQL.
