Getting Started


Configure SQLite as a Replication Destination

Using CData Sync, you can replicate QuickBooks Online data to SQLite. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

  1. Click Add Connection.
  2. Select SQLite as a destination.
  3. Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to SQLite, set the following:
    • Data Source: The path to the database. You can replicate to an existing database or to a new one. The application must have permissions to access the database.
  4. Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
  5. Click Save Changes.

Configure the QuickBooks Online Connection

You can configure a connection to QuickBooks Online from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your QuickBooks Online account, navigate to the Connections tab.

  1. Click Add Connection.
  2. Select a source (QuickBooks Online).
  3. Configure the connection properties.

    QuickBooks Online uses the OAuth authentication standard. OAuth requires the authenticating user to log in through the browser. To authenticate using OAuth, you can use the embedded OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL or you can obtain your own by registering an app with Intuit. Additionally, if you want to connect to sandbox data, set UseSandbox to true.

    See the Getting Started chapter of the help documentation for a guide to using OAuth.

  4. Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
  5. 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 QuickBooks Online data to SQLite.
