Automated Continuous Twitter Ads Replication to AlloyDB

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Twitter Ads data into your AlloyDB instance, allowing you to consolidate all of your data into a single location for archiving, reporting, analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and more.

Configure AlloyDB as a Replication Destination

Using CData Sync, you can replicate Twitter Ads data to AlloyDB. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

1. Click Add Connection.
2. Select PostgreSQL as a destination.
3. Enter the necessary connection properties. To connect to AlloyDB, set the following connection properties (CData Sync ships with the Npgsql ADO.NET Provider for PostgreSQL):
   • Server: The address of the server hosting the AlloyDB database.
   • Port: The port used to connect to the server hosting the AlloyDB database.
   • User: The user ID provided for authentication with the AlloyDB database.
   • Password: The password provided for authentication with the AlloyDB database.
   • Database: The name of the database.
4. Click Test Connection to ensure that the connection is configured properly.
5. Click Save Changes.

Configure the Twitter Ads Connection

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

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

   All tables require authentication. You must use OAuth to authenticate with Twitter. OAuth requires the authenticating user to interact with Twitter using the browser. For more information, refer to the OAuth section in the Help documentation.

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 Twitter Ads data to AlloyDB.
