Automated Continuous Zoom Replication to AlloyDB

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time data access. CData Sync integrates live Zoom 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 Zoom 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 Zoom Connection

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

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

   Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Zoom Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Zoom.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Zoom (see below).

   Zoom API Profile Settings

   To authenticate to Zoom, you can use the OAuth standard to connect to your own data or to allow other users to connect to their data.

   First you will need to create an OAuth app. To do so, navigate to https://marketplace.zoom.us/develop/create and click Create under the OAuth section. Select whether or not the app will be for individual users or for the entire account, and uncheck the box to publish the app. Give the app a name and click Create. You will then be given your Client Secret and Client ID

   After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

   • AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth.
   • InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to manage the process to obtain the OAuthAccessToken.
   • OAuthClientID: Set this to the OAuth Client ID that is specified in your app settings.
   • OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the OAuth Client Secret that is specified in your app settings.
   • CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URI you specified in your app settings.
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 Zoom data to AlloyDB.
