CData Sync

Replicate Multiple Phoenix Accounts



Replicate multiple Phoenix accounts to one or many databases.

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

Configure Phoenix Connections

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

Windows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <CDataSync> <DatabaseType>SQLite</DatabaseType> <DatabaseProvider>System.Data.SQLite</DatabaseProvider> <ConnectionString>Server=localhost;Port=8765;</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>Server=localhost;Port=8765;</ConnectionString> <ReplicateAll>False</ReplicateAll> <NotificationUserName></NotificationUserName> <DatabaseConnectionString>Data Source=C:\my.db</DatabaseConnectionString> </CDataSync>

Connect to Apache Phoenix via the Phoenix Query Server. Set the Server and Port (if different from the default port) properties to connect to Apache Phoenix. The Server property will typically be the host name or IP address of the server hosting Apache Phoenix.

Authenticating to Apache Phoenix

By default, no authentication will be used (plain). If authentication is configured for your server, set AuthScheme to NEGOTIATE and set the User and Password properties (if necessary) to authenticate through Kerberos.

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

REPLICATE MyTable;

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 Phoenix accounts into the same database:

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

REPLICATE PROD_MyTable SELECT * FROM MyTable

Alternatively, you can use a different schema:

REPLICATE PROD.MyTable SELECT * FROM MyTable

Run Sync

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

Windows

ApachePhoenixSync.exe -g MyProductionApachePhoenixConfig.xml -f MyProductionApachePhoenixSync.sql

Java

java -Xbootclasspath/p:c:\sqlitejdbc.jar -jar ApachePhoenixSync.jar -g MyProductionApachePhoenixConfig.xml -f MyProductionApachePhoenixSync.sql
