Get the Report →Automated Continuous Zuora Replication to Azure SQL
Use CData Sync for automated, continuous, customizable Zuora replication to Azure SQL.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Zuora data into your Azure SQL instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.
Configure Azure as a Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate Zuora data to Azure SQL. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select Azure SQL as a destination.
- Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to Azure SQL, set the following:
- Server: The address of the server hosting the Azure SQL database.
- User: The username provided for authentication with the Azure SQL database.
- Password: The password provided for authentication with the Azure SQL database.
- Database: The name of the Azure SQL database.
Java Edition
The Java version requires the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver, which can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center. Copy the JDBC driver to the lib folder of your Java Web server to make a connection.
- Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save Changes.
Configure the Zuora Connection
You can configure a connection to Zuora from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your Zuora account, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (Zuora).
- Configure the connection properties.
Zuora uses the OAuth standard to authenticate users. See the online Help documentation for a full OAuth authentication guide.
Configuring Tenant property
In order to create a valid connection with the provider you need to choose one of the Tenant values (USProduction by default) which matches your account configuration. The following is a list with the available options:
- USProduction: Requests sent to https://rest.zuora.com.
- USAPISandbox: Requests sent to https://rest.apisandbox.zuora.com"
- USPerformanceTest: Requests sent to https://rest.pt1.zuora.com"
- EUProduction: Requests sent to https://rest.eu.zuora.com"
- EUSandbox: Requests sent to https://rest.sandbox.eu.zuora.com"
Selecting a Zuora Service
Two Zuora services are available: Data Query and AQuA API. By default ZuoraService is set to AQuADataExport.
DataQuery
The Data Query feature enables you to export data from your Zuora tenant by performing asynchronous, read-only SQL queries. We recommend to use this service for quick lightweight SQL queries.
Limitations- The maximum number of input records per table after filters have been applied: 1,000,000
- The maximum number of output records: 100,000
- The maximum number of simultaneous queries submitted for execution per tenant: 5
- The maximum number of queued queries submitted for execution after reaching the limitation of simultaneous queries per tenant: 10
- The maximum processing time for each query in hours: 1
- The maximum size of memory allocated to each query in GB: 2
- The maximum number of indices when using Index Join, in other words, the maximum number of records being returned by the left table based on the unique value used in the WHERE clause when using Index Join: 20,000
AQuADataExport
AQuA API export is designed to export all the records for all the objects ( tables ). AQuA query jobs have the following limitations:
Limitations- If a query in an AQuA job is executed longer than 8 hours, this job will be killed automatically.
- The killed AQuA job can be retried three times before returned as failed.
- Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- 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 Zuora data to Azure SQL.
