Automated Continuous Kintone Replication to MongoDB
Use CData Sync for automated, continuous, customizable Kintone replication to MongoDB.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Kintone data into your MongoDB instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.
Configure MongoDB as a Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate Kintone data to MongoDB. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select the Destinations tab and locate the MongoDB connector.
- 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 MongoDB connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections in the Help documentation.
- To connect to MongoDB, set the following connection properties:
- Connection Name: Enter a connection name of your choice for the MongoDB connection.
- Server: Enter either the host name or the IP address of the server that hosts your MongoDB instance.
- Port: Enter the port number of the server that hosts your instance of MongoDB. The default port value is 27017.
- Auth Scheme: Select the authentication scheme.
- User: Set this to the database user.
- Password: Set this to the user's password.
- Database: Set this to the database you want to read from and write to.
- Auth Database: Enter the name of the MongoDB database for authentication.
- Once connected, click Create & Test to create, test and save the connection.
You are now connected to MongoDB 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 Kintone data into MongoDB and utilize it as a destination.
Configure the Kintone Connection
You can configure a connection to Kintone from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your Kintone account, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (Kintone).
- Configure the connection properties.
In addition to the authentication values, set the following parameters to connect to and retrieve data from Kintone:
- Url: The URL of your account.
- GuestSpaceId: Optional. Set this when using a guest space.
Authenticating with Kintone
Kintone supports the following authentication methods.
Using Password Authentication
You must set the following to authenticate:
- User: The username of your account.
- Password: The password of your account.
Using Basic Authentication
If the basic authentication security feature is set on the domain, supply the additional login credentials with BasicAuthUser and BasicAuthPassword. Basic authentication requires these credentials in addition to User and Password.
Using Client SSL
Instead of basic authentication, you can specify a client certificate to authenticate. Set SSLClientCert, SSLClientCertType, SSLClientCertSubject, and SSLClientCertPassword. Additionally, set User and Password to your login credentials.
- Click Connect to Kintone to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- 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 Kintone tables you wish to replicate into MongoDB, 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 Kintone data to MongoDB.
Run the Replication Job
Once all the required configurations are made for the job, select the Kintone 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.
