Automate Sybase Data Replication to Azure Data Lake
Use CData Sync to customize and automate Sybase data replication to Azure Data Lake.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Sybase data into your Azure Data Lake 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 Data Lake as a Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate Sybase data to Azure Data Lake. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select Azure Data Lake as a destination.
![]( "Configure a Destination connection to Azure Data Lake.")
Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to Azure Data Lake, set the following properties, depending on your version of Azure Data Lake Storage:
Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1
- Generation: Must be set to 1.
- Account: The name of the Azure Data Lake Store account.
- Path: The path to store the replicated file (the root directory by default).
- TenantId: The tenant ID.
- OAuthClientId: The application ID for the Azure Directory web application (see the CData Sync Help for more information).
- OAuthClientSecret: The key generated for the Azure Directory web application (see the CData Sync Help for more information).
Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
- Generation: Must be set to 2.
- Access Key: The access key used to authenticate (see the CData Sync Help for more information).
- Account: The name of the Azure Data Lake Store account.
- FileSystem: The file systems used for this account.
- Path: The path to store the replicated file (the root directory by default).
- Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
![]( "Configure a Destination connection (Generation 1 is shown).")
- Click Save Changes.
Configure the Sybase Connection
You can configure a connection to Sybase from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your Sybase account, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (Sybase).
- Configure the connection properties.
To connect to Sybase, specify the following connection properties:
- Server: Set this to the name or network address of the Sybase database instance.
- Database: Set this to the name of the Sybase database running on the specified Server.
Optionally, you can also secure your connections with TLS/SSL by setting UseSSL to true.
Sybase supports several methods for authentication including Password and Kerberos.
Connect Using Password Authentication
Set the AuthScheme to Password and set the following connection properties to use Sybase authentication.
- User: Set this to the username of the authenticating Sybase user.
- Password: Set this to the username of the authenticating Sybase user.
Connect using LDAP Authentication
To connect with LDAP authentication, you will need to configure Sybase server-side to use the LDAP authentication mechanism.
After configuring Sybase for LDAP, you can connect using the same credentials as Password authentication.
Connect Using Kerberos Authentication
To leverage Kerberos authentication, begin by enabling it setting AuthScheme to Kerberos. See the Using Kerberos section in the Help documentation for more information on using Kerberos authentication.
You can find an example connection string below:
Server=MyServer;Port=MyPort;User=SampleUser;Password=SamplePassword;Database=MyDB;Kerberos=true;KerberosKDC=MyKDC;KerberosRealm=MYREALM.COM;KerberosSPN=server-name![]( "Configure a Source connection (Salesforce is shown).")
- 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 Sybase data to PostgreSQL.
