Use CData Sync to customize and automate Gumroad data replication to SAP HANA.

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

  1. Click Add Connection.
  2. Select the Destinations tab and locate the SAP HANA 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 SAP HANA connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections in the Help documentation.
  4. To connect to SAP HANA, set the following connection properties:
    • Server: Enter the IP address or name of the server you want to connect to.
    • Port: Enter the port where the server is running.
    • Auth Scheme: Select the Auth Scheme as Password. The Auth Schemes available on CData Sync are Password, OKTA, and Kerberos.
    • Database: Enter the name of the database.
    • User: Enter the username of a user with read/write access to the database.
    • Password: Enter the password of a user with read/write access to the database.
  5. Once connected, click Create & Test to create, test and save the connection.

You are now connected to SAP HANA 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 Gumroad data into SAP HANA and utilize it as a destination.

Configure the Gumroad Connection

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

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

    Using OAuth Authentication

    To authenticate to Gumroad and connect to your own data or to allow other users to connect to their data, you can use the OAuth 2.0 standard. This is the recommended authentication method.

    First you need to register an OAuth application with Gumroad. You can create an OAuth application by visiting your Gumroad account settings at https://app.gumroad.com/settings/advanced and navigating to the Applications section.

    After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

    • AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth.
    • InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. The CData API Profile for Gumroad will automatically walk through the OAuth process in order to obtain the access token.
    • OAuthClientID: Set this to the client_id that is specified in your app settings.
    • OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the client_secret that is specified in your app settings.
    • CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URI you specified in your app settings.

    Example connection string

    Profile=C:\profiles\Gumroad.apip;AuthScheme=OAuth;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OAuthClientId=your_client_id;OAuthClientSecret=your_client_secret;CallbackUrl=your_callback_url;
    

  4. Click Connect to Gumroad 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 Gumroad tables you wish to replicate into SAP HANA, 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 Gumroad data to SAP HANA.

Run the Replication Job

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