Load Sage Cloud Accounting Data to a Database Using Embulk


Use CData JDBC drivers with the open source ETL/ELT tool Embulk to load Sage Cloud Accounting data to a database.

Embulk is an open source bulk data loader. When paired with the CData JDBC Driver for Sage Cloud Accounting, Embulk easily loads data from Sage Cloud Accounting to any supported destination. In this article, we explain how to use the CData JDBC Driver for Sage Cloud Accounting in Embulk to load Sage Cloud Accounting data to a MySQL dtabase.

With built-in optimized data processing, the CData JDBC Driver offers unmatched performance for interacting with live Sage Cloud Accounting data. When you issue complex SQL queries to Sage Cloud Accounting, the driver pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to Sage Cloud Accounting and utilizes the embedded SQL engine to process unsupported operations client-side (often SQL functions and JOIN operations).

Configure a JDBC Connection to Sage Cloud Accounting Data

Before creating a bulk load job in Embulk, note the installation location for the JAR file for the JDBC Driver (typically C:\Program Files\CData\CData JDBC Driver for Sage Cloud Accounting\lib).

Embulk supports JDBC connectivity, so you can easily connect to Sage Cloud Accounting and execute SQL queries. Before creating a bulk load job, create a JDBC URL for authenticating with Sage Cloud Accounting.

You can connect to Sage Business Cloud Accounting using the embedded OAuth connectivity. When you connect, the 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.

Built-in Connection String Designer

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

java -jar cdata.jdbc.sagebcaccounting.jar

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

Below is a typical JDBC connection string for Sage Cloud Accounting:

jdbc:sagebcaccounting:InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH

Load Sage Cloud Accounting Data in Embulk

After installing the CData JDBC Driver and creating a JDBC connection string, install the required Embulk plugins.

Install Embulk Input & Output Plugins

  1. Install the JDBC Input Plugin in Embulk.
    https://github.com/embulk/embulk-input-jdbc/tree/master/embulk-input-jdbc
    2. embulk gem install embulk-input-jdbc
  2. In this article, we use MySQL as the destination database. You can also choose SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Google BigQuery as the destination using the output Plugins.
    https://github.com/embulk/embulk-output-jdbc/tree/master/embulk-output-mysql embulk gem install embulk-output-mysql

With the input and output plugins installed, we are ready to load Sage Cloud Accounting data into MySQL using Embulk.

Create a Job to Load Sage Cloud Accounting Data

Start by creating a config file in Embulk, using a name like sagebcaccounting-mysql.yml.

  1. For the input plugin options, use the CData JDBC Driver for Sage Cloud Accounting, including the path to the driver JAR file, the driver class (e.g. cdata.jdbc.sagebcaccounting.SageBCAccountingDriver), and the JDBC URL from above
  2. For the output plugin options, use the values and credentials for the MySQL database

Sample Config File (sagebcaccounting-mysql.yml)

in: type: jdbc driver_path: C:\Program Files\CData[product_name] 20xx\lib\cdata.jdbc.sagebcaccounting.jar driver_class: cdata.jdbc.sagebcaccounting.SageBCAccountingDriver url: jdbc:sagebcaccounting:InitiateOAuth=REFRESH table: "SalesInvoices" out: type: mysql host: localhost database: DatabaseName user: UserId password: UserPassword table: "SalesInvoices" mode: insert

After creating the file, run the Embulk job.

embulk run sagebcaccounting-mysql.yml

After running the the Embulk job, find the Salesforce data in the MySQL table.

Load Filtered Sage Cloud Accounting Data

In addition to loading data directly from a table, you can use a custom SQL query to have more granular control of the data loaded. You can also perform increment loads by setting a last updated column in a SQL WHERE clause in the query field.

in: type: jdbc driver_path: C:\Program Files\CData[product_name] 20xx\lib\cdata.jdbc.sagebcaccounting.jar driver_class: cdata.jdbc.sagebcaccounting.SageBCAccountingDriver url: jdbc:sagebcaccounting:InitiateOAuth=REFRESH query: "SELECT contact_name, total_amount FROM SalesInvoices WHERE [RecordId] = 1" out: type: mysql host: localhost database: DatabaseName user: UserId password: UserPassword table: "SalesInvoices" mode: insert
