Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Confluence 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 Confluence data to SAP HANA. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

- Server: The IP address or name of the server you want to connect to.
- Port: The port where the server is running.
- Database: The name of the database.

To connect to a Cloud account, provide the following (Note: Password has been deprecated for connecting to a Cloud Account and is now used only to connect to a Server Instance.):
- User: The user which will be used to authenticate with the Confluence server.
- APIToken: The API Token associated with the currently authenticated user.
- Url: The URL associated with your JIRA endpoint. For example, https://yoursitename.atlassian.net.
Connect Using a Confluence Server Instance

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 Confluence data to PostgreSQL.
