Replicate Multiple SAP Concur Accounts
Replicate multiple SAP Concur accounts to one or many databases.
CData Sync for SAP Concur is a stand-alone application that provides solutions for a variety of replication scenarios such as replicating sandbox and production instances into your database. Both Sync for Windows and Sync for Java include a command-line interface (CLI) that makes it easy to manage multiple SAP Concur connections. In this article we show how to use the CLI to replicate multiple SAP Concur accounts.
Configure SAP Concur Connections
You can save connection and email notification settings in an XML configuration file. To replicate multiple SAP Concur accounts, use multiple configuration files. Below is an example configuration to replicate SAP Concur to SQLite:
Windows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<CDataSync>
<DatabaseType>SQLite</DatabaseType>
<DatabaseProvider>System.Data.SQLite</DatabaseProvider>
<ConnectionString>OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;</ConnectionString>
<ReplicateAll>False</ReplicateAll>
<NotificationUserName></NotificationUserName>
<DatabaseConnectionString>Data Source=C:\my.db</DatabaseConnectionString>
<TaskSchedulerStartTime>09:51</TaskSchedulerStartTime>
<TaskSchedulerInterval>Never</TaskSchedulerInterval>
</CDataSync>
Java
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<CDataSync>
<DatabaseType>SQLite</DatabaseType>
<DatabaseProvider>org.sqlite.JDBC</DatabaseProvider>
<ConnectionString>OAuthClientId=MyOAuthClientId;OAuthClientSecret=MyOAuthClientSecret;</ConnectionString>
<ReplicateAll>False</ReplicateAll>
<NotificationUserName></NotificationUserName>
<DatabaseConnectionString>Data Source=C:\my.db</DatabaseConnectionString>
</CDataSync>
SAP Concur uses the OAuth 2 authentication standard. You will need to obtain the OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret by registering an app with SAP Concur. See the Getting Started section of the help documentation for an authentication guide.
Configure Queries for Each SAP Concur Instance
Sync enables you to control replication with standard SQL. The REPLICATE statement is a high-level command that caches and maintains a table in your database. You can define any SELECT query supported by the SAP Concur API. The statement below caches and incrementally updates a table of SAP Concur data:
REPLICATE Departments;
You can specify a file containing the replication queries you want to use to update a particular database. Separate replication statements with semicolons. The following options are useful if you are replicating multiple SAP Concur accounts into the same database:
You can use a different table prefix in the REPLICATE SELECT statement:
REPLICATE PROD_Departments SELECT * FROM Departments
Alternatively, you can use a different schema:
REPLICATE PROD.Departments SELECT * FROM Departments
Run Sync
After you have configured the connection strings and replication queries, you can run Sync with the following command-line options:
Windows
SAPConcurSync.exe -g MyProductionSAPConcurConfig.xml -f MyProductionSAPConcurSync.sql
Java
java -Xbootclasspath/p:c:\sqlitejdbc.jar -jar SAPConcurSync.jar -g MyProductionSAPConcurConfig.xml -f MyProductionSAPConcurSync.sql
