Automate Bullhorn CRM Data Replication to SAP HANA
Use CData Sync to customize and automate Bullhorn CRM data replication to SAP HANA.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Bullhorn CRM data into your SAP HANA instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.
Configure SAP HANA as a Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate Bullhorn CRM data to SAP HANA. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select the Destinations tab and locate the SAP HANA connector.
- Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the SAP HANA connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections in the Help documentation.
- To connect to SAP HANA, set the following connection properties:
- Server: Enter the IP address or name of the server you want to connect to.
- Port: Enter the port where the server is running.
- Auth Scheme: Select the Auth Scheme as Password. The Auth Schemes available on CData Sync are Password, OKTA, and Kerberos.
- Database: Enter the name of the database.
- User: Enter the username of a user with read/write access to the database.
- Password: Enter the password of a user with read/write access to the database.
- Once connected, click Create & Test to create, test and save the connection.
You are now connected to SAP HANA and can use it as both a source and a destination.
NOTE: You can use the Label feature to add a label for a source or a destination.
In this article, we will demonstrate how to load Bullhorn CRM data into SAP HANA and utilize it as a destination.
Configure the Bullhorn CRM Connection
You can configure a connection to Bullhorn CRM from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your Bullhorn CRM account, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (Bullhorn CRM).
- Configure the connection properties.
Begin by providing your Bullhorn CRM account credentials in the following:
- DataCenterCode: Set this to the data center code which responds to your data center. Refer to the list of data-center-specific Bullhorn API URLs: https://bullhorn.github.io/Data-Center-URLs/
If you are uncertain about your data center code, codes like CLS2, CLS21, etc. are cluster IDs that are contained in a user's browser URL (address bar) once they are logged in.
Example: https://cls21.bullhornstaffing.com/BullhornSTAFFING/MainFrame.jsp?#no-ba... indicates that the logged in user is on CLS21.
Authenticating with OAuth
Bullhorn CRM uses the OAuth 2.0 authentication standard. To authenticate using OAuth, create and configure a custom OAuth app. See the Help documentation for more information.
- Click Connect to Bullhorn CRM to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save & Test to save the 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, navigate to the Task tab in the Job, click Add Tasks, choose the table(s) from the list of Bullhorn CRM tables you wish to replicate into SAP HANA, and click Add Tasks again.
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 with the help of SQL queries.
Schedule Your Replication
Select the Overview tab in the Job, and click Configure under Schedule. You can schedule a job to run automatically by configuring it to run at 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 Bullhorn CRM data to SAP HANA.
Run the Replication Job
Once all the required configurations are made for the job, select the Bullhorn CRM table you wish to replicate and click Run. After the replication completes successfully, a notification appears, showing the time taken to run the job and the number of rows replicated.
