Automated Continuous NetSuite SuiteAnalytics Replication to SingleStore

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

Configure SingleStore as a Replication Destination

Using CData Sync, you can replicate NetSuite SuiteAnalytics data to SingleStore. To add a replication destination, navigate to the Connections tab.

1. Click Add Connection. 👁 Add a new connection.
   
2. Select the Destinations tab and locate the SingleStore connector. 👁 Configure a Destination connection to SingleStore.
   
3. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the SingleStore connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections in the Help documentation.
4. To connect to SingleStore, enter the required connection properties and select an authentication scheme (see below):
   • Server: Enter the host name or IP of the server hosting the SingleStore database.
   • Port: Enter the port of the server hosting the SingleStore database.
   • Database (Optional): Enter the default database to connect to when connecting to the SingleStore Server. If this is not set, tables from all databases will be available.

   Connect Using Standard Authentication

   To authenticate using standard authentication, set the following:

   • User: Enter the user which will be used to authenticate with the SingleStore server.
   • Password: Enter the password which will be used to authenticate with the SingleStore server.

   Connect Using Integrated Security

   As an alternative to providing the standard username and password, you can set IntegratedSecurity to True to authenticate trusted users to the server via Windows Authentication.

   Connect Using SSL Authentication

   You can leverage SSL authentication to connect to SingleStore data via a secure session. Configure the following connection properties to connect to data:

   • SSLClientCert: Set this to the name of the certificate store for the client certificate. Used in the case of 2-way SSL, where truststore and keystore are kept on both the client and server machines.
   • SSLClientCertPassword: If a client certificate store is password-protected, set this value to the store's password.
   • SSLClientCertSubject: Enter the subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate. It is used to locate the certificate in the store.
   • SSLClientCertType: Enter the certificate type of the client store.
   • SSLServerCert: Enter the certificate to be accepted from the server.

   Connect Using SSH Authentication

   Using SSH, you can securely login to a remote machine. To access SingleStore data via SSH, configure the following connection properties:

   • SSHClientCert: Set this to the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.
   • SSHClientCertPassword: If a client certificate store is password-protected, set this value to the store's password.
   • SSHClientCertSubject: The subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate. Used to locate the certificate in the store.
   • SSHClientCertType: The certificate type of the client store.
   • SSHPassword: The password that you use to authenticate with the SSH server.
   • SSHPort: The port used for SSH operations.
   • SSHServer: The SSH authentication server you are trying to authenticate against.
   • SSHServerFingerPrint: The SSH Server fingerprint used for verification of the host you are connecting to.
   • SSHUser: Set this to the username that you use to authenticate with the SSH server.
👁 Enter the connection details.

5. Once connected, click Create & Test to create, test and save the connection.

You are now connected to SingleStore and can use it as both a source and a destination.

NOTE: You can use the Label feature to add a label for a source or a destination.

👁 Add a label.
