Automated Continuous NetSuite Replication to Snowflake
Use CData Sync for automated, continuous, customizable NetSuite replication to Snowflake.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live NetSuite data into your Snowflake 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 Snowflake as a Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate NetSuite data to Snowflake. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select the Destinations tab and locate the Snowflake 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 Snowflake connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections in the Help documentation.
- To connect to Snowflake, set the following connection properties:
- Connection Name: Enter a connection name of your choice for the Snowflake connection.
- Warehouse: Enter the name of your Snowflake warehouse.
- URL: Enter the URL for your Snowflake database. CData Sync supports both Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) instances:
- AWS: https://MyAccount.Region.snowflakecomputing.com
- Azure: https://MyAccount.Region.azure.snowflakecomputing.com
- URL: Enter the URL of the Snowflake database instance, for example: https://myaccount.snowflakecomputing.com
- Database: The name of the Snowflake database
- Auth Scheme: Select the authentication scheme. The default auth scheme is Password. The auth schemes available for Snowflake are Password, OKTA, PrivateKey, AzureAD, OAuth, PingFederate, and External Browser.
- User: Enter the username that you use to authenticate to Snowflake.
- Password: Enter the password that you use to authenticate to Snowflake.
- Schema: The schema of the Snowflake database.
- Once connected, click Create & Test to create, test and save the connection.
You are now connected to Snowflake 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 NetSuite data into Snowflake and utilize it as a destination.
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 NetSuite 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 NetSuite tables you wish to replicate into Snowflake, 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 NetSuite data to Snowflake.
Run the Replication Job
Once all the required configurations are made for the job, select the NetSuite 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.
