Connect to Authorize.Net Data in as an External Source in Dremio

The CData JDBC Driver for Authorize.Net implements JDBC Standards and allows various applications, including Dremio, to work with live Authorize.Net data. Dremio is a data lakehouse platform designed to empower self-service, interactive analytics on the data lake. With the CData JDBC Driver, you can include live Authorize.Net data as a part of your enterprise data lake. This article describes how to connect to Authorize.Net data from Dremio as an External Source.

The CData JDBC Driver enables high-speed access to live Authorize.Net data in Dremio. Once you install the driver, authenticate with Authorize.Net and gain immediate access to Authorize.Net data within your data lake. By surfacing Authorize.Net data using native data types and handling complex filters, aggregations, & other operations automatically, the CData JDBC Driver grants seamless access to Authorize.Net data.

Build the ARP Connector

To use the CData JDBC Driver in Dremio, you need to build an Advanced Relation Pushdown (ARP) Connector. You can view the source code for the Connector on GitHub or download the ZIP file (GitHub.com) directly. Once you copy or extract the files, run the following command from the root directory of the connector (the directory containing the pom.xml file) to build the connector.

mvn clean install

Once the JAR file for the connector is built (in the target directory), you are ready to copy the ARP connector and JDBC Driver to your Dremio instance.

Installing the Connector and JDBC Driver

Install the ARP Connector to %DREMIO_HOME%/jars/ and the JDBC Driver for Authorize.Net to %DREMIO_HOME%/jars/3rdparty. You can use commands similar to the following:

ARP Connector

docker cp PATH\TO\dremio-authorizenet-plugin-20.0.0.jar dremio_image_name:/opt/dremio/jars/

JDBC Driver for Authorize.Net

docker cp PATH\TO\cdata.jdbc.authorizenet.jar dremio_image_name:/opt/dremio/jars/3rdparty/

Connecting to Authorize.Net

Authorize.Net will now appear as an External Source option in Dremio. The ARP Connector built uses a JDBC URL to connect to Authorize.Net data. The JDBC Driver has a built-in connection string designer that you can use (see below).

Built-in Connection String Designer

For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Authorize.Net JDBC Driver. Double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command line.

java -jar cdata.jdbc.authorizenet.jar

Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

You can obtain the necessary connection properties on the Security Settings -> General Settings page after logging into your Merchant Account.

• UseSandbox: The Authorize.Net API to be used to process transactions. If you are using a production account, this property can be left blank. If you are using a developer test account, set this to 'TRUE'.
• LoginID: The API login Id associated with your payment gateway account. This property is used to authenticate that you are authorized to submit website transactions. Note that this value is not the same as the login Id that you use to log in to the Merchant Interface.
• TransactionKey: The transaction key associated with your payment gateway account. This property is used to authenticate that you are authorized to submit website transactions.

NOTE: To use the JDBC Driver in Dremio, you will need a license (full or trial) and a Runtime Key (RTK). For more information on obtaining this license (or a trial), contact our sales team.

Add the Runtime Key (RTK) to the JDBC URL. You will end up with a JDBC URL similar to the following:

jdbc:authorizenet:RTK=5246...;LoginId=MyLoginId;TransactionKey=MyTransactionKey;

Access Authorize.Net as an External Source

To add Authorize.Net as an External Source, click to add a new source and select AuthorizeNet. Copy the JDBC URL and paste it into the New AuthorizeNet Source wizard.

Save the connection and you are ready to query live Authorize.Net data in Dremio, easily incorporating Authorize.Net data into your data lake.
