Replicate Oracle SCM Data to Multiple Databases
Replicate Oracle SCM data to disparate databases with a point-and-click configuration.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time access to data. CData Sync integrates live Oracle SCM data into your mirrored databases, always-on cloud databases, and other databases such as your reporting server: Automatically synchronize with remote Oracle SCM data from Windows.
Configure Replication Destinations
Using CData Sync, you can replicate data from Oracle SCM to any number of databases, both cloud-based and on-premises. In this example, we use SQLite as the replication destination to demonstrate the process. To add it as a destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
For each destination database:
- Click Add Connection.
- Select the Destinations tab and locate the SQLite connector.
- Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the SQLite connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections in the Help documentation.
- To connect to SQLite, set the following connection properties:
- Connection Name: Enter a connection name of your choice.
- Data Source: Enter the path to the database. You can replicate to an existing database or to a new one. The application must have permission to access the database.
- Once connected, click Create & Test to create, test and save the connection.
You are now connected to SQLite and can use it as both a source and a destination.
NOTE: You can use the Label feature to add a label for a source or a destination.
Configure the Oracle SCM Connection
You can configure a connection to Oracle SCM from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your Oracle SCM account, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select a source (Oracle SCM).
- Configure the connection properties.
The following connection properties are required to connect to Oracle SCM data.
- Url: The URL of the account that you want to connect to. Typically, this will be the URL of your Oracle Cloud service. For example, https://servername.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com.
- User: The username of your Oracle Cloud service account.
- Password: The password of your Oracle Cloud service account.
- Click Connect to Oracle SCM to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
- Click Save & Test to save the 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, navigate to the Task tab in the Job, click Add Tasks, choose the table(s) from the list of Oracle SCM tables you wish to replicate into SQLite, and click Add Tasks again.
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 with the help of SQL queries.
The statement below caches and incrementally updates a table of Oracle SCM data:
REPLICATE Carriers;
You can specify a file containing the replication queries you want to use to update a particular database. Separate the replication statements with semicolons. The following options are useful when replicating multiple Oracle SCM accounts into the same database:
-
Use a different table prefix in the REPLICATE SELECT statement:
REPLICATE PROD_Carriers SELECT * FROM Carriers;
-
Alternatively, use a different schema:
REPLICATE PROD.Carriers SELECT * FROM Carriers;
Schedule Your Replication
Select the Overview tab in the Job, and click Configure under Schedule. You can schedule a job to run automatically by configuring it to run at 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 Oracle SCM data to disparate on-premises, cloud-based, and other databases.
Run the Replication Job
Once all the required configurations are made for the job, select the Oracle SCM table you wish to replicate and click Run. After the replication completes successfully, a notification appears, showing the time taken to run the job and the number of rows replicated.
