Replicate multiple MYOB AccountRight accounts to one or many databases.
CData Sync is a stand-alone application that provides solutions for a variety of replication scenarios such as replicating sandbox and production instances into your database. CData Sync includes a web-based interface that makes it easy to manage multiple MYOB AccountRight connections. In this article we show how to use the web app to replicate multiple MYOB AccountRight accounts to a single database.
Configure the Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate MYOB AccountRight data to any number of databases, both cloud-based and on-premises. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a destination and enter the necessary connection properties. In this article, we use SQLite.
- Enter the necessary connection properties. To replicate MYOB AccountRight to a SQLite database, enter a file path in the Data Source box.
- Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure MYOB AccountRight Connections
You can configure connections to MYOB AccountRight from the Connections tab. To add a connection to one of your MYOB AccountRight accounts, navigate to the Connections tab. For each MYOB AccountRight account you wish to replicate, do the following:
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (MYOB AccountRight).
- Configure the connection properties.
These properties are required when connecting to a company file (both for Cloud and On-Premise instances).
- CompanyFileId: You can find this by starting MYOB, opening your data file, and selecting Help -> About MYOB
- User: The username associated with your company file.
- Password: The password associated with your company file.
Connecting to a Cloud Instance
To connect to a cloud instance of MYOB, you can use the embedded OAuth credentials or create an OAuth app with MYOB. This process is detailed in the Help documentation.
Connecting to an On-Premise instance:
When connecting to an on-premise instance, you will need to set the following connection property in addition to those above:
- InitiateOauth: Set this to OFF.
- Url: The Url of your MYOB instance.
- Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure Queries for Each MYOB AccountRight Instance
CData Sync enables you to control replication with a point-and-click interface and with SQL queries. To configure a replication, 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 a SQL query to customize your replication. The REPLICATE statement is a high-level command that caches and maintains a table in your database. You can define any SELECT query supported by the MYOB AccountRight API. To customize your replication, click Add Custom Query in the Tables section and define the Query Statement.The statement below caches and incrementally updates a table of MYOB AccountRight data:
REPLICATE Accounts;
You can specify a file containing the replication queries you want to use to update a particular database. Separate replication statements with semicolons. The following options are useful if you are replicating multiple MYOB AccountRight accounts into the same database:
-
Use a different table prefix in the REPLICATE SELECT statement:
REPLICATE PROD_Accounts SELECT * FROM Accounts;
-
Alternatively, use a different schema:
REPLICATE PROD.Accounts SELECT * FROM Accounts;
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 the data from your different MYOB AccountRight accounts.
