Connect to Google Campaign Manager Data and Transfer Data in Talend

This article shows how you can easily integrate the CData JDBC driver for Google Campaign Manager into your workflow in Talend. This article uses the CData JDBC Driver for Google Campaign Manager to transfer Google Campaign Manager data in a job flow in Talend.

Connect to Google Campaign Manager in Talend as a JDBC Data Source

You can follow the procedure below to establish a JDBC connection to Google Campaign Manager:

1. Add a new database connection to Google Campaign Manager data: To add a new connection, expand the Metadata node, right-click the Db Connections node, and then click Create Connection.
2. In the resulting wizard, enter a name for the connection.

3. On the next page, select Generic JDBC from the DB Type menu and enter the JDBC URL.

   Google Campaign Manager uses the OAuth authentication standard. The data provider facilitates OAuth in various ways as described below. The following OAuth flow requires the authenticating user to interact with DoubleClick Campaign Manager, using the browser. You can also use a service account to authenticate.

   For authentication guides, see the Getting Started section of the data provider help documentation.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Google Campaign Manager JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.googlecm.jar

   Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

   A typical JDBC URL is below:

   jdbc:googlecm:UserProfileID=MyUserProfileID;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH
4. Enter the path to the cdata.jdbc.googlecm.jar file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
5. Right-click the connection and then click Retrieve Schema.
6. Click Next with the default options to select the tables you want to import.
7. Finish the wizard with the default options.

Output the CampaignPerformance Table to a Flat File

You can follow the procedure below to transfer the CampaignPerformance table to a flat file output component:

1. In the Table Schemas node, drag the tables to the workspace.
2. In the dialog that is displayed, select the tJDBCInput component.
3. Next, drag a tFileOutputDelimited component from the Business Intelligence tab of the Palette into the workspace.
4. Right-click the CampaignPerformance tJDBCInput component and drag a vector to the output file.

Run the project to transfer the data.
