Automate MongoDB Data Replication to Couchbase



Use CData Sync to Customize and automate MongoDB data replication to Couchbase.

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time access to data. CData Sync integrates live MongoDB data into your Couchbase instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.

Configure Replication Destinations

Using CData Sync, you can replicate MongoDB data to Couchbase. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

  1. Click Add Connection.
  2. Select Couchbase as a destination.
  3. Enter the necessary connection properties.
    • Server - Enter either the host name or the IP address of your Couchbase server.
    • Auth Scheme - Select the authentication scheme. Basic is the default setting. For this setting, specify your login credentials:
      • User - Enter the username that you use to authenticate to Couchbase.
      • Password - Enter the password that you use to authenticate to Couchbase.
    • Couchbase Service - Select the Couchbase service that you want to use. The default service is N1QL.
    • Connection Mode - Select the connection mode that you want to use. The default mode is Direct.
    • Use SSL - Specify whether you want to use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. The default value is False.
    • Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
    • Click Save Changes.

Configure the MongoDB Connection

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

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

    Set the Server, Database, User, and Password connection properties to connect to MongoDB. To access MongoDB collections as tables you can use automatic schema discovery or write your own schema definitions. Schemas are defined in .rsd files, which have a simple format. You can also execute free-form queries that are not tied to the schema.

  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 15 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 MongoDB data to Couchbase.
