Automate JotForm Data Replication to Azure Synapse
Use CData Sync to customize and automate JotForm data replication to Azure Synapse.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live JotForm 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 JotForm 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 JotForm Connection
You can configure a connection to JotForm from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your JotForm account, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (JotForm).
- Configure the connection properties.
Set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for JotForm (see below).
JotForm API Profile Settings
Find your JotForm API Key in order to authenticate. To obtain an API Key, go to 'My Account' > 'API Section' > 'Create a New API Key'. Once you've created your new API Key, you can set it in the ProfileSettings connection property (e.g. "APIKey=my_api_key").
Custom Enterprise API Domains
Enterprise customers of JotForm are given custom API domains to connect to, rather than the default 'api.jotform.com' domain. If you are an enterprise JotForm customer, then set Domain to you custom API hostname, such as 'your-domain.com' or 'subdomain.jotform.com', inside the ProfileSettings connection property (e.g. "APIKey=my_api_key;Domain=your-domain.com"). Conversely, if you do not have a custom domain and still need to connect to 'api.jotform.com', then leave Domain undefined and set only APIKey.
- 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 JotForm data to PostgreSQL.
