Automate Adobe Commerce Data Replication to Azure Data Lake

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Adobe Commerce 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 Adobe Commerce data to Azure Data Lake. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select Azure Data Lake as a destination.

3. 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).
4. Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. Click Save Changes.

Configure the Adobe Commerce Connection

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

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

   Adobe Commerce uses the OAuth 1 authentication standard. To connect to the Adobe Commerce REST API, you will need to obtain values for the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL connection properties by registering an app with your Adobe Commerce system. See the "Getting Started" section in the help documentation for a guide to obtaining the OAuth values and connecting.

   You will also need to provide the URL to your Adobe Commerce system. The URL depends on whether you are using the Adobe Commerce REST API as a customer or administrator.

   • Customer: To use Adobe Commerce as a customer, make sure you have created a customer account in the Adobe Commerce homepage. To do so, click Account -> Register. You can then set the URL connection property to the endpoint of your Adobe Commerce system.

   • Administrator: To access Adobe Commerce as an administrator, set CustomAdminPath instead. This value can be obtained in the Advanced settings in the Admin menu, which can be accessed by selecting System -> Configuration -> Advanced -> Admin -> Admin Base URL.

     If the Use Custom Admin Path setting on this page is set to YES, the value is inside the Custom Admin Path text box; otherwise, set the CustomAdminPath connection property to the default value, which is "admin".

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 Adobe Commerce data to PostgreSQL.
