Validate Sage Intacct Data with QuerySurge

QuerySurge is a smart data testing solution that automates data validation and testing. When paired with the CData JDBC Driver for Sage Intacct, QuerySurge can work with live Sage Intacct data. This article explains how to connect to Sage Intacct data from QuerySurge.

With built-in optimized data processing, the CData JDBC Driver offers unmatched performance for interacting with live Sage Intacct data. When you issue complex SQL queries to Sage Intacct, the driver pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to Sage Intacct and utilizes the embedded SQL engine to process unsupported operations client-side (often SQL functions and JOIN operations). Its built-in dynamic metadata querying allows you to work with and analyze Sage Intacct data using native data types.

Connecting to Sage Intacct Data in QuerySurge

To connect to live Sage Intacct data from QuerySurge, you need to deploy the JDBC Driver JAR file to your QuerySurge Agent(s) and add a new connection from the QuerySurge Admin view.

Deploy the JDBC Driver

1. Download the CData JDBC Driver for Sage Intacct installer, unzip the package, and run the JAR file to install the driver.
2. Once the driver is installed, stop the Agent Service.
3. Copy the JAR File (and license file if it exists) from the installation location (typically C:\Program Files\CData\CData JDBC Driver for Sage Intacct\lib\) to your Agent(s) (QuerySurge_install_dir\agent\jdbc).
4. Restart the Agent Service.

For more information on deploying JDBC drivers for QuerySurge, refer to the QuerySurge Knowledge Base.

Configure a New Connection to Sage Intacct

1. Log into QuerySurge and navigate to the Admin view.
2. Click Configuration -> Connections in the Administration Tree.
3. Click Add to create a new connection.
4. In the QuerySurge Connection Wizard, click Next. 👁 Creating a new connection
   
5. Name the connection (e.g. CData JDBC Connection to Sage Intacct).
6. Set the Data Source to "All Other JDBC Connections (Connection Extensibility)" and click Next. 👁 Naming the connection and choosing a Data Source
   
7. Set the Driver Class to cdata.jdbc.sageintacct.SageIntacctDriver and click Next. 👁 Setting the Driver Class
   

8. Set the Connection URL using the necessary connection properties to authenticate with Sage Intacct. Your Connection URL will look something like the following:

   jdbc:sageintacct:User=myusername;CompanyId=TestCompany;Password=mypassword;SenderId=Test;SenderPassword=abcde123;

   Built-in Connection String Designer

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

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.sageintacct.jar
   	

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

   To connect using the Login method, the following connection properties are required: User, Password, CompanyId, SenderId and SenderPassword.

   User, Password, and CompanyId are the credentials for the account you wish to connect to.

   SenderId and SenderPassword are the Web Services credentials assigned to you by Sage Intacct.

9. Set the Test Query to enable the Test Connection button for the Connection (e.g. SELECT * FROM Customer LIMIT 1) and click Next. 👁 Setting the Connection URL and Test Query (NetSuite is shown)
   
10. Click Test Connection to ensure the connection is configured properly and click Save to add the connection.

Once the connection is added, you can write SQL queries against your Sage Intacct data in QuerySurge.

Compare Sage Intacct Data Queries with a QueryPair

With the connection configured, you can follow the steps below to compare querying Sage Intacct data with a QueryPair.

1. Select "Design Library" from the Design Menu
2. Click QueryPairs under QuerySurge Design
3. Click "Create New QueryPair"
4. Name the QueryPair and click Save
5. In either the Source or Target panes, select the connection created above (select the same connection to query Sage Intacct twice or another connection to perform a comparison)
6. Write queries in the Editor for each pane, e.g. SELECT * FROM Customer 👁 Setting the Connection URL and Test Query (NetSuite is shown)
   
7. Click the "Design-Time Run" tab to execute the queries
8. When the query execution is finished, click "View Query Results" to see the Sage Intacct data returned by the query 👁 Setting the Connection URL and Test Query (NetSuite is shown)
