Use CData Sync for automated, continuous, customizable SAP Concur replication to Amazon S3.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live SAP Concur data into your Amazon S3 instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.

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.
