Replicate Multiple PCA Sales Accounts


Replicate multiple PCA Sales accounts to one or many databases.

CData Sync for PCA Sales 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 PCA Sales connections. In this article we show how to use the CLI to replicate multiple PCA Sales accounts.

Configure PCA Sales Connections

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

Windows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <CDataSync> <DatabaseType>SQLite</DatabaseType> <DatabaseProvider>System.Data.SQLite</DatabaseProvider> <ConnectionString>DataCenter=my_data_center;DefaultDataArea=my_data_area;ProductCode=Kon20</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>DataCenter=my_data_center;DefaultDataArea=my_data_area;ProductCode=Kon20</ConnectionString> <ReplicateAll>False</ReplicateAll> <NotificationUserName></NotificationUserName> <DatabaseConnectionString>Data Source=C:\my.db</DatabaseConnectionString> </CDataSync>

In order to authenticate using the OAuth, specify the following:

  • AuthScheme: Set to OAuth.

In order to authenticate using the OAuth Password, specify the following:

  • AuthScheme: Set to OAuthPassword.
  • User: Enter the PCA Sales username.
  • Password: Enter the PCA Sales password.
  • ServiceId: Enter the Service ID used to connect tot he PCA API server.
  • ServicePassword: Enter the Service Password for the above Service ID.

For both authentication methods, specify the following:

  • Data Center: Enter the name for the PCA API Server.
  • Default Data Area: Enter the data area to which you want to connect.
  • Product Code: Enter "Kon20" or "Acc20."

For more information, refer to the Help documentation.

Configure Queries for Each PCA Sales 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 PCA Sales API. The statement below caches and incrementally updates a table of PCA Sales data:

REPLICATE MasterLot;

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 PCA Sales accounts into the same database:

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

REPLICATE PROD_MasterLot SELECT * FROM MasterLot

Alternatively, you can use a different schema:

REPLICATE PROD.MasterLot SELECT * FROM MasterLot

Run Sync

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

Windows

PCASalesSync.exe -g MyProductionPCASalesConfig.xml -f MyProductionPCASalesSync.sql

Java

java -Xbootclasspath/p:c:\sqlitejdbc.jar -jar PCASalesSync.jar -g MyProductionPCASalesConfig.xml -f MyProductionPCASalesSync.sql
