Automated Continuous Azure Data Catalog Replication to Oracle



Use CData Sync for automated, continuous, customizable Azure Data Catalog replication to Oracle.

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

Configure Oracle as a Replication Destination

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

  1. Click Add Connection.
  2. Select Oracle as a destination.
  3. Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to Oracle, you will need the Oracle Database Client. The Instant Client is not sufficient. When you download the Oracle Database Client, ensure that the bitness matches the the bitness of the application. Additionally, when you install, select either the Runtime or Administrator installation type.

    Set the following to connect to an Oracle database:

    • Server: The host name or IP of the server hosting the Oracle database.
    • Port: The port used to connect to the server hosting the Oracle database.
    • User: The user ID provided for authentication with the Oracle database.
    • Password: The password provided for authentication with the Oracle database.
    • SID: The service name of the Oracle database.

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

Configure the Azure Data Catalog Connection

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

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

    You can optionally set the following to read the different catalog data returned from Azure Data Catalog.

      CatalogName: Set this to the CatalogName associated with your Azure Data Catalog. To get your Catalog name, navigate to your Azure Portal home page > Data Catalog > Catalog Name

    Connect Using OAuth Authentication

    You must use OAuth to authenticate with Azure Data Catalog. OAuth requires the authenticating user to interact with Azure Data Catalog using the browser. For more information, refer to the OAuth section in the help documentation.

  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 Azure Data Catalog data to Oracle.
