Automated Continuous Gong Replication to Local Delimited Files

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Gong data into local delimited files (CSV/TSV), allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.

Configure CSV/TSV as a Replication Destination

Using CData Sync, you can replicate Gong data to delimited files, like CSV or TSV. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select CSV as a destination.
3. Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to a directory for storing delimited files, set the following:
   • Destination Folder: Set this location on the disk for the delimited files.
   • Include Column Headers: Set this to True for the first row in each file to represent the column names.
4. Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. Click Save Changes.

Configure the Gong Connection

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

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

   To authenticate to Gong, you can use API Key authentication with your Gong API Key and API Secret.

   Authentication

   To authenticate to Gong, you must provide your Gong API Key and API Secret, along with your tenant Domain. These credentials are combined and Base64-encoded to form the Basic authentication header used for all API requests.

   Using API Key Authentication

   To authenticate using an API Key, you need to obtain your API Key and API Secret from your Gong account settings.

   You can then connect by setting the AuthScheme to APIKey and providing your credentials:

   • AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
   • APIKey: Set this to your Gong API Key.
   • APISecret: Set this to your Gong API Secret.
   • Domain: Set this to your Gong tenant domain (e.g., us-36533.api.gong.io).

   Example connection string

   Profile=C:\profiles\Gong.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_key;APISecret=your_api_secret;Domain=your-tenant.api.gong.io';
   

   
4. Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. 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 Gong data to delimited files.
