Automated Continuous Microsoft Teams Replication to Oracle

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Microsoft Teams data into your Oracle instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.

Configure Oracle as a Replication Destination

Using CData Sync, you can replicate Microsoft Teams data to Oracle. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select Oracle as a destination.

3. Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to Oracle, you will need the Oracle Database Client. The Instant Client is not sufficient. When you download the Oracle Database Client, ensure that the bitness matches the the bitness of the application. Additionally, when you install, select either the Runtime or Administrator installation type.

   Set the following to connect to an Oracle database:

   • Server: The host name or IP of the server hosting the Oracle database.
   • Port: The port used to connect to the server hosting the Oracle database.
   • User: The user ID provided for authentication with the Oracle database.
   • Password: The password provided for authentication with the Oracle database.
   • SID: The service name of the Oracle database.

4. Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. Click Save Changes.

Configure the Microsoft Teams Connection

You can configure a connection to Microsoft Teams from the Connections tab. To add a connection to your Microsoft Teams account, navigate to the Connections tab.

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select a source (Microsoft Teams).
3. Configure the connection properties.
   
   

   You can connect to MS Teams using the embedded OAuth connectivity. When you connect, the MS Teams OAuth endpoint opens in your browser. Log in and grant permissions to complete the OAuth process. See the OAuth section in the online Help documentation for more information on other OAuth authentication flows.

4. Click Connect to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. 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 Microsoft Teams data to Oracle.
