Automated Sybase Data Replication to Teradata
Use CData Sync to Customize and automate Sybase data replication to Teradata.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Sybase data into your Teradata instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.
Configure Teradata as a Replication Destination
Using CData Sync, you can replicate Sybase data to Teradata. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.
- Click Add Connection.
- Select the Destinations tab and locate the Teradata 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 Teradata connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections in the Help documentation.
- To connect to Teradata, set the following connection properties:
- Connection Name: Enter a connection name of your choice.
- Data Source: Enter either the Teradata server name, the database computer (DBC) username, or the Teradata Director Program Id (TDPID).
- User: Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your Teradata account.
- Password: Enter the password that you use to authenticate to your Teradata account.
- Auth Scheme: Select the authentication scheme. The Auth schemes available in Sync are TD2 and LDAP. TD2 is the default scheme.
- Database: Enter the name of your Teradata database.
Note: If you do not specify a database, CData Sync connects to your default database.
- Port: Enter the port number for your Teradata server. The default port value is 1025.
- Once connected, click Create & Test to create, test and save the connection.
You are now connected to Teradata 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.
In this article, we will demonstrate how to load Sybase data into Teradata and utilize it as a destination.
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, 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
- Click Connect to Sybase 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 Sybase tables you wish to replicate into Teradata, 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.
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 Sybase data to Teradata.
Run the Replication Job
Once all the required configurations are made for the job, select the Sybase 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.
