Replicate Sage 200 Data to Multiple Databases via the CData Sync CLI

Always-on applications rely on automatic failover capabilities and real-time access to data. CData Sync for Sage 200 integrates live Sage 200 data into your mirrored databases, always-on cloud databases, and other databases such as your reporting server: Automatically synchronize with remote Sage 200 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 Sage 200 data to one or many databases without any need to change your configuration.

Connect to Sage 200 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>SubscriptionKey=12345;Schema=StandardUK;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;</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>SubscriptionKey=12345;Schema=StandardUK;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;</ConnectionString>
<ReplicateAll>False</ReplicateAll>
<NotificationUserName></NotificationUserName>
<DatabaseConnectionString>Data Source=C:\my.db</DatabaseConnectionString>
</CDataSync>

• Schema: Determines which Sage 200 edition you are connecting to. Specify either StandardUK or ProfessionalUK.
• Subscription Key: Provides access to the APIs that are used to establish a connection. You will first need to log into the Sage 200 API website and subscribe to the API edition that matches your account. You can do so here: https://developer.columbus.sage.com/docs/services/api/uk. Afterwards, the subscription key may be found in your profile after logging into Sage 200.

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 Sage 200 API. The statement below caches and incrementally updates a table of Sage 200 data:

REPLICATE Banks;

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

Sage200Sync.exe -g MySQLiteConfig.xml -f Sage200Sync.sql

Java

java -Xbootclasspath/p:c:\sqlitejdbc.jar -jar Sage200Sync.jar -g MySQLiteConfig.xml -f Sage200Sync.sql
