Use CData Sync to customize and automate Microsoft Exchange data replication to Azure Synapse.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Microsoft Exchange data into your Azure Synapse instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.
Configure Azure Synapse as a Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate Microsoft Exchange data to Azure Synapse. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select Azure Synapse as a destination.
- Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to Azure Synapse, provide authentication properties (see below) and set the following properties to connect to a Azure Synapse database:
- Server: The server running Azure. You can find this by logging into the Azure portal and navigating to Azure Synapse Analytics -> Select your database -> Overview -> Server name.
- Database: The name of the database, as seen in the Azure portal on the Azure Synapse Analytics page.
Using SQL Password Authentication
To authenticate to Microsoft SQL Server using standard authentication, set the following:
- User: The username provided for authentication with Azure.
- Password: The password associated with the authenticating user.
- Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure the Microsoft Exchange Connection
You can configure a connection to Microsoft Exchange from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your Microsoft Exchange account, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (Microsoft Exchange).
- Configure the connection properties.
Specify the User and Password to connect to Exchange. Additionally, specify the address of the Exchange server you are connecting to and the Platform associated with the server.
- Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- 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 Microsoft Exchange data to PostgreSQL.
