Build Pipelines with Live Sage Intacct Data in Google Cloud Data Fusion (via CData Connect Cloud)
Use CData Connect Cloud to connect to Sage Intacct from Google Cloud Data Fusion, enabling the integration of live Sage Intacct data into the building and management of effective data pipelines.
Google Cloud Data Fusion simplifies building and managing data pipelines by offering a visual interface to connect, transform, and move data across various sources and destinations, streamlining data integration processes. When combined with CData Connect Cloud, it provides access to Sage Intacct data for building and managing ELT/ETL data pipelines. This article explains how to use CData Connect Cloud to create a live connection to Sage Intacct and how to connect and access live Sage Intacct data from the Cloud Data Fusion platform.
About Sage Intacct Data Integration
CData provides the easiest way to access and integrate live data from Sage Intact. Customers use CData connectivity to:
- Access Sage Intacct without worrying about API updates or changes.
- Access custom objects and fields in Sage Intacct with no extra configuration steps involved.
- Write data back to Sage Intacct using embedded Web Services credentials with Basic authentication.
- Use SQL stored procedures to perform functional operations like approving or declining vendors, inserting engagements, and creating or deleting custom objects or fields.
Users frequently integrate Sage Intact with analytics tools such as Tableau, Power BI, and Excel, and leverage our tools to replicate Workday data to databases or data warehouses.

Getting Started
Configure Sage Intacct Connectivity for Cloud Data Fusion
Connectivity to Sage Intacct from Cloud Data Fusion is made possible through CData Connect Cloud. To work with Sage Intacct data from Cloud Data Fusion, we start by creating and configuring a Sage Intacct connection.
- Log into Connect Cloud, click Sources, and then click Add Connection
- Select "Sage Intacct" from the Add Connection panel
-
Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Sage Intacct.
To connect using the Login method, the following connection properties are required: User, Password, CompanyId, SenderId and SenderPassword.
User, Password, and CompanyId are the credentials for the account you wish to connect to.
SenderId and SenderPassword are the Web Services credentials assigned to you by Sage Intacct.
- Click Create & Test
-
Navigate to the Permissions tab in the Add Sage Intacct Connection page and update the User-based permissions.
Add a Personal Access Token
When connecting to Connect Cloud through the REST API, the OData API, or the Virtual SQL Server, a Personal Access Token (PAT) is used to authenticate the connection to Connect Cloud. It is best practice to create a separate PAT for each service to maintain granularity of access.
- Click on the Gear icon () at the top right of the Connect Cloud app to open the settings page.
- On the Settings page, go to the Access Tokens section and click Create PAT.
-
Give the PAT a name and click Create.
- The personal access token is only visible at creation, so be sure to copy it and store it securely for future use.
With the connection configured and a PAT generated, you are ready to connect to Sage Intacct data from Cloud Data Fusion.
Connecting to Sage Intacct from Cloud Data Fusion
Follow these steps to establish a connection from Cloud Data Fusion to Sage Intacct through the CData Connect Cloud JDBC driver:
- Download and install the CData Connect Cloud JDBC driver:
- Open the Integrations page of CData Connect Cloud.
- Search for and select JDBC.
- Download and run the setup file.
- When the installation is complete, copy the JAR file(cdata.jdbc.connect.jar) from the installation directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\CData\JDBC Driver for CData Connect\lib).
- Log into Cloud Data Fusion.
- Click the green "+" button at the top right to add an entity.
- Under Driver, click Upload.
- Now, upload the CData Connect Cloud JDBC driver (JAR file).
- Enter the driver settings:
- Name: Enter the name of the driver
- Class name: Enter "cdata.jdbc.connect.ConnectDriver"
- Version: Enter the driver version
- Description (optional): Enter a description for the driver
- Click on Finish.
- Enter source configuration settings:
- Label: Helps to identify the connection
- JDBC driver name: Enter the JDBC driver name to identify the driver configured in Step 6.
- Connection string: Enter the JDBC connection string, for example:
jdbc:connect:AuthScheme=Basic;user=username;password=PAT;
- User: Enter your CData Connect Cloud username, displayed in the top-right corner of the CData Connect Cloud interface. For example, "[email protected]"
- Password: Enter the PAT you generated on the Settings page.
- Click Validate in the top right corner.
- If the connection is successful, you can manage the pipeline by editing it through the UI.
- Run the pipepline created.
Troubleshooting
Please be aware that there is a known issue in Cloud Data Fusion where "int" types from source data are automatically cast as "long".
Live Access to Sage Intacct Data from Cloud Applications
Now you have a direct connection to live Sage Intacct data from from Google Cloud Data Fusion. You can create more connections to ensure a smooth movement of data across various sources and destinations, thereby streamlining data integration processes - all without replicating Sage Intacct data.
To get real-time data access to 100+ SaaS, Big Data, and NoSQL sources (including Sage Intacct) directly from your cloud applications, explore the CData Connect Cloud.
