Replicate Microsoft Project Data to Multiple Databases
Replicate Microsoft Project data to disparate databases with a single configuration.
Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time access to data. CData Sync for Microsoft Project integrates live Microsoft Project data into your mirrored databases, always-on cloud databases, and other databases such as your reporting server: Automatically synchronize with remote Microsoft Project data from Windows or any machine running Java.
You can use Sync's command-line interface (CLI) to easily control almost all aspects of the replication. You can use the CLI to replicate Microsoft Project data to one or many databases without any need to change your configuration.
Connect to Microsoft Project Data
You can save connection strings and other settings like email notifications in XML configuration files.
The following example shows how to replicate to SQLite.
Windows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<CDataSync><DatabaseType>SQLite</DatabaseType>
<DatabaseProvider>System.Data.SQLite</DatabaseProvider>
<ConnectionString>User=myuseraccount;Password=mypassword;URL=http://myserver/myOrgRoot;</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>User=myuseraccount;Password=mypassword;URL=http://myserver/myOrgRoot;</ConnectionString>
<ReplicateAll>False</ReplicateAll>
<NotificationUserName></NotificationUserName>
<DatabaseConnectionString>Data Source=C:\my.db</DatabaseConnectionString>
</CDataSync>
The User and Password properties, under the Authentication section, must be set to valid Microsoft Project user credentials. In addition, you will need to specify a URL to a valid Microsoft Project server organization root or Microsoft Project services file.
Configure Replication Queries
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 Microsoft Project API. The statement below caches and incrementally updates a table of Microsoft Project data:
REPLICATE Projects;
You can specify a file containing the replication queries. This enables you to use the same replication queries to replicate to several databases.
Run Sync
After you have configured the connection strings and replication queries, you can run Sync with the following command-line options:
Windows
MicrosoftProjectSync.exe -g MySQLiteConfig.xml -f MicrosoftProjectSync.sql
Java
java -Xbootclasspath/p:c:\sqlitejdbc.jar -jar MicrosoftProjectSync.jar -g MySQLiteConfig.xml -f MicrosoftProjectSync.sql
