Version 25.3.9396

AlloyDB

You can use the AlloyDB connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from AlloyDB and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Add the AlloyDB Connector

To enable Sync to use data from AlloyDB, you first must add the connector, as follows:

  1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

  2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

  3. Click the Sources tab and locate the AlloyDB row.

  4. 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 AlloyDB connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.

Authenticate to AlloyDB

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

  • Connection Name - Enter a connection name of your choice.

  • Server - Enter the host name or the IP address of the server that hosts the AlloyDB database. The default host name is localhost.

  • User - Enter the username that you use to authenticate to the AlloyDB server.

CData Sync supports authenticating to AlloyDB in several ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

Password

To connect with your user credentials, set the following properties:

  • Auth Scheme: Select Password.

  • User: Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your AlloyDB account.

OAuth

To connect with OAuth custom credentials, specify the following properties:

  • Auth Scheme: Select OAuth.

  • OAuth Client Id: Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

  • OAuth Client Secret: Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.

Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

  1. Specify the following properties:

    • (Optional) Database - Enter the database that you want to connect to when you connect to the AlloyDB server. If you do not specify a database, Sync uses the default database.

    • (Optional) Port - Enter the port number of the server that hosts the AlloyDB database. The default port value is 5432.

  2. Define advanced connection settings on the Advanced tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)

  3. If you authenticate with OAuth, click Connect to AlloyDB to connect to your AlloyDB account.

  4. Click Create & Test to create your connection.
