Replicate Multiple Odoo Accounts


Replicate multiple Odoo accounts to one or many databases.

CData Sync for Odoo is a stand-alone application that provides solutions for a variety of replication scenarios such as replicating sandbox and production instances into your database. Both Sync for Windows and Sync for Java include a command-line interface (CLI) that makes it easy to manage multiple Odoo connections. In this article we show how to use the CLI to replicate multiple Odoo accounts.

About Odoo Data Integration

Accessing and integrating live data from Odoo has never been easier with CData. Customers rely on CData connectivity to:

  • Access live data from both Odoo API 8.0+ and Odoo.sh Cloud ERP.
  • Extend the native Odoo features with intelligent handling of many-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many data properties. CData's connectivity solutions also intelligently handle complex data properties within Odoo. In addition to columns with simple values like text and dates, there are also columns that contain multiple values on each row. The driver decodes these kinds of values differently, depending upon the type of column the value comes from:
    • Many-to-one columns are references to a single row within another model. Within CData solutions, many-to-one columns are represented as integers, whose value is the ID to which they refer in the other model.
    • Many-to-many columns are references to many rows within another model. Within CData solutions, many-to-many columns are represented as text containing a comma-separated list of integers. Each value in that list is the ID of a row that is being referenced.
    • One-to-many columns are references to many rows within another model - they are similar to many-to-many columns (comma-separated lists of integers), except that each row in the referenced model must belong to only one in the main model.
  • Use SQL stored procedures to call server-side RFCs within Odoo.

Users frequently integrate Odoo with analytics tools such as Power BI and Qlik Sense, and leverage our tools to replicate Odoo data to databases or data warehouses.


Getting Started


Configure Odoo Connections

You can save connection and email notification settings in an XML configuration file. To replicate multiple Odoo accounts, use multiple configuration files. Below is an example configuration to replicate Odoo to SQLite:

Windows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <CDataSync> <DatabaseType>SQLite</DatabaseType> <DatabaseProvider>System.Data.SQLite</DatabaseProvider> <ConnectionString>User=MyUser;Password=MyPassword;URL=http://MyOdooSite/;Database=MyDatabase;</ConnectionString> <ReplicateAll>False</ReplicateAll> <NotificationUserName></NotificationUserName> <DatabaseConnectionString>Data Source=C:\my.db</DatabaseConnectionString> <TaskSchedulerStartTime>09:51</TaskSchedulerStartTime> <TaskSchedulerInterval>Never</TaskSchedulerInterval> </CDataSync>

Java

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <CDataSync> <DatabaseType>SQLite</DatabaseType> <DatabaseProvider>org.sqlite.JDBC</DatabaseProvider> <ConnectionString>User=MyUser;Password=MyPassword;URL=http://MyOdooSite/;Database=MyDatabase;</ConnectionString> <ReplicateAll>False</ReplicateAll> <NotificationUserName></NotificationUserName> <DatabaseConnectionString>Data Source=C:\my.db</DatabaseConnectionString> </CDataSync>

To connect, set the Url to a valid Odoo site, User and Password to the connection details of the user you are connecting with, and Database to the Odoo database.

Configure Queries for Each Odoo Instance

Sync enables you to control replication with standard SQL. 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 Odoo API. The statement below caches and incrementally updates a table of Odoo data:

REPLICATE res_users;

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 Odoo accounts into the same database:

You can use a different table prefix in the REPLICATE SELECT statement:

REPLICATE PROD_res_users SELECT * FROM res_users

Alternatively, you can use a different schema:

REPLICATE PROD.res_users SELECT * FROM res_users

Run Sync

After you have configured the connection strings and replication queries, you can run Sync with the following command-line options:

Windows

OdooSync.exe -g MyProductionOdooConfig.xml -f MyProductionOdooSync.sql

Java

java -Xbootclasspath/p:c:\sqlitejdbc.jar -jar OdooSync.jar -g MyProductionOdooConfig.xml -f MyProductionOdooSync.sql
