Automate EnterpriseDB Data Replication to Couchbase



Use CData Sync to Customize and automate EnterpriseDB data replication to Couchbase.

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

Configure Couchbase as a Replication Destination

Using CData Sync, you can replicate EnterpriseDB data to Couchbase. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

  1. Click Add Connection.
  2. Select the Destinations tab and locate the Couchbase connector.
  3. 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 Couchbase connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections in the Help documentation.
  4. To connect to Couchbase, set the following connection properties:
    • Connection Name: Enter a connection name of your choice for the Couchbase connection.
    • User: Enter the username that you use to authenticate to Couchbase.
    • Password: Enter the password that you use to authenticate to Couchbase.
    • Server: Enter the address of Couchbase server or servers to which you want to connect.
    • Bucket: Enter the name of the bucket to which you want to replicate data.
    • Port (Optional): Enter the port number for the Couchbase server. The default port value is 8091.
  5. Once connected, click Create & Test to create, test and save the connection.

You are now connected to Couchbase 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 EnterpriseDB data into Couchbase and utilize it as a destination.

Configure the EnterpriseDB Connection

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

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

    The following connection properties are required in order to connect to data.

    • Server: The host name or IP of the server hosting the EnterpriseDB database.
    • Port: The port of the server hosting the EnterpriseDB database.

    You can also optionally set the following:

    • Database: The default database to connect to when connecting to the EnterpriseDB Server. If this is not set, the user's default database will be used.

    Connect Using Standard Authentication

    To authenticate using standard authentication, set the following:

    • User: The user which will be used to authenticate with the EnterpriseDB server.
    • Password: The password which will be used to authenticate with the EnterpriseDB server.

    Connect Using SSL Authentication

    You can leverage SSL authentication to connect to EnterpriseDB data via a secure session. Configure the following connection properties to connect to data:

    • SSLClientCert: Set this to the name of the certificate store for the client certificate. Used in the case of 2-way SSL, where truststore and keystore are kept on both the client and server machines.
    • SSLClientCertPassword: If a client certificate store is password-protected, set this value to the store's password.
    • SSLClientCertSubject: The subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate. Used to locate the certificate in the store.
    • SSLClientCertType: The certificate type of the client store.
    • SSLServerCert: The certificate to be accepted from the server.
  4. Click Connect to EnterpriseDB to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
  5. 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 EnterpriseDB tables you wish to replicate into Couchbase, 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 EnterpriseDB data to Couchbase.

Run the Replication Job

Once all the required configurations are made for the job, select the EnterpriseDB 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.
