Use the CData TIBCO DV Adapter for Zoom to create a Zoom data source in TIBCO Data Virtualization Studio and gain access to live Zoom data from your TDV Server.
TIBCO Data Virtualization (TDV) is an enterprise data virtualization solution that orchestrates access to multiple and varied data sources. When paired with the CData TIBCO DV Adapter for Zoom, you get federated access to live Zoom data directly within TIBCO Data Virtualization. This article walks through deploying an adapter and creating a new data source based on Zoom.
With built-in optimized data processing, the CData TIBCO DV Adapter offers unmatched performance for interacting with live Zoom data. When you issue complex SQL queries to Zoom, the adapter pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to Zoom. Its built-in dynamic metadata querying allows you to work with and analyze Zoom data using native data types.
Deploy the Zoom TIBCO DV Adapter
In a console, navigate to the bin folder in the TDV Server installation directory. If there is a current version of the adapter installed, you will need to undeploy it.
.\server_util.bat -server localhost -user admin -password ******** -undeploy -version 1 -name API
Extract the CData TIBCO DV Adapter to a local folder and deploy the JAR file (tdv.api.jar) to the server from the extract location.
.\server_util.bat -server localhost -user admin -password ******** -deploy -package /PATH/TO/tdv.api.jar
You may need to restart the server to ensure the new JAR file is loaded properly, which can be accomplished by running the composite.bat script located at: C:\Program Files\TIBCO\TDV Server <version>\bin. Note that reauthenticating to the TDV Studio is required after restarting the server.
Sample Restart Call
.\composite.bat monitor restart
Authenticate with Zoom Using OAuth
Since Zoom authenticates using the OAuth protocol and TDV Studio does not support browser-based authentication internally, you will need to create and run a simple Java application to retrieve the OAuth tokens. Once retrieved, the tokens are used to connect to Zoom directly from the adapter.
The following code sample shows how to authenticate with Zoom. You will simply need to execute the Java application with the tdv.api.jar file in the class path.
APIOAuth oauth = new APIOAuth(); oauth.generateOAuthSettingsFile("InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;" + "Profile=C:\profiles\Zoom.apip;Authscheme=OAuth;OAuthClientId=your_client_id;OAuthClientSecret=your_client_secret;CallbackUrl=your_callback_url;" + "OAuthSettingsLocation=C:\api\OAuthSettings.txt;");
Once you deploy the adapter and authenticate, you can create a new data source for Zoom in TDV Studio.
Create a Zoom Data Source in TDV Studio
With the CData TIBCO DV Adapter for Zoom, you can easily create a data source for Zoom and introspect the data source to add resources to TDV.
Create the Data Source
- Right-click on the folder you wish to add the data source to and select New -> New Data Source.
- Scroll until you find the adapter (e.g. Zoom) and click Next.
- Name the data source (e.g. CData Zoom Source).
Fill in the required connection properties.
Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Zoom Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Zoom.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Zoom (see below).
Zoom API Profile Settings
To authenticate to Zoom, you can use the OAuth standard to connect to your own data or to allow other users to connect to their data.
First you will need to create an OAuth app. To do so, navigate to https://marketplace.zoom.us/develop/create and click Create under the OAuth section. Select whether or not the app will be for individual users or for the entire account, and uncheck the box to publish the app. Give the app a name and click Create. You will then be given your Client Secret and Client ID
After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:
- AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth.
- InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to manage the process to obtain the OAuthAccessToken.
- OAuthClientID: Set this to the OAuth Client ID that is specified in your app settings.
- OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the OAuth Client Secret that is specified in your app settings.
- CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URI you specified in your app settings.
NOTE: Set the OAuthSettingsLocation property in the DV Adapter to the same value you used when performing the OAuth authentication (see above).
- Click Create & Close.
Introspect the Data Source
Once the data source is created, you can introspect the data source by right-clicking and selecting Open. In the dashboard, click Add/Remove Resources and select the Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures to include as part of the data source. Click Next and Finish to add the selected Zoom tables, views, and stored procedures as resources.
After creating and introspecting the data source, you are ready to work with Zoom data in TIBCO Data Virtualization just like you would any other relational data source. You can create views, query using SQL, publish the data source, and more.
