Use CData Sync for automated, continuous, customizable NetSuite replication to Apache Cassandra.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live NetSuite data into your Apache Cassandra instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.
About NetSuite Data Integration
CData provides the easiest way to access and integrate live data from Oracle NetSuite. Customers use CData connectivity to:
- Access all editions of NetSuite, including Standard, CRM, and OneWorld.
- Connect with all versions of the SuiteTalk API (SOAP-based) and SuiteQL, which functions like SQL, enabling easier data querying and manipulation.
- Access predefined and custom reports through support for Saved Searches.
- Securely authenticate with Token-based and OAuth 2.0, ensuring compatibility and security for all use cases.
- Use SQL stored procedures to perform functional actions like uploading or downloading files, attaching or detaching records or relationships, retrieving roles, getting extra table or column info, getting job results, and more.
Customers use CData solutions to access live NetSuite data from their preferred analytics tools, Power BI and Excel. They also use CData's solutions to integrate their NetSuite data into comprehensive databases and data warehouse using CData Sync directly or leveraging CData's compatibility with other applications like Azure Data Factory. CData also helps Oracle NetSuite customers easily write apps that can pull data from and push data to NetSuite, allowing organizations to integrate data from other sources with NetSuite.

Getting Started
Configure Cassandra as a Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate NetSuite data to Apache Cassandra. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select Apache Cassandra as a destination.
Enter the necessary connection properties. CData Sync supports Basic authentication with login credentials and the additional authentication features of DataStax Enterprise (DSE) Cassandra. The following sections detail connection properties your authentication method may require.
You need to set AuthScheme to the value corresponding to the authenticator configured for your system. You specify the authenticator in the authenticator property in the cassandra.yaml file. This file is typically found in /etc/dse/cassandra or through the DSE Unified Authenticator on DSE Cassandra.
Basic Authentication
Basic authentication is supported through Cassandra's built-in default PasswordAuthenticator.
- Set the AuthScheme property to 'BASIC' and set the User and Password properties.
- In the cassandra.yaml file, set the authenticator property to 'PasswordAuthenticator.'
Kerberos Authentication
Kerberos authentication is supported through DataStax Enterprise Unified Authentication.
- Set the AuthScheme property to 'KERBEROS' and set the User and Password properties.
- Set the KerberosKDC, KerberosRealm, and KerberosSPN properties.
- In the cassandra.yaml file, set the authenticator property to "com.datastax.bdp.cassandra.auth.DseAuthenticator."
- Modify the authentication_options section in the dse.yaml file, specifying the default_schema and other_schemas properties as 'kerberos.'
- Modify the kerberos_options section in the dse.yaml file, specifying the keytab, service_principle, http_principle and qop properties.
LDAP Authentication
LDAP authentication is supported through DataStax Enterprise Unified Authentication.
- Set the AuthScheme property to 'LDAP' and set the User and Password properties.
- In the cassandra.yaml file, set the authenticator property to "com.datastax.bdp.cassandra.auth.DseAuthenticator."
- Modify the authentication_options section in the dse.yaml file, specifying the default_schema and other_schemas properties as 'ldap.'
- Modify the ldap_options section in the dse.yaml file, specifying the server_host, server_port, search_dn, search_password, user_search_base, and user_search_filter properties.
Using PKI
You can specify a client certificate to authenticate CData Sync with SSLClientCert, SSLClientCertType, SSLClientCertSubject, and SSLClientCertPassword.
- Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure the NetSuite Connection
You can configure a connection to NetSuite from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your NetSuite account, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (NetSuite).
- Configure the connection properties.
The User and Password properties, under the Authentication section, must be set to valid NetSuite user credentials. In addition, the AccountId must be set to the ID of a company account that can be used by the specified User. The RoleId can be optionally specified to log in the user with limited permissions.
See the "Getting Started" chapter of the help documentation for more information on connecting to NetSuite.
- 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 NetSuite data to Apache Cassandra.
