You can use the Azure DevOps connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from Azure DevOps 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 Azure DevOps Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Azure DevOps, 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 Azure DevOps 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 Azure DevOps connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.

Authenticate to Azure DevOps

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

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

• Organization: Enter the name of your organization in the Azure DevOps account. To obtain the name of your organization, navigate to Profile > Organizations in your Azure DevOps.

• Azure Dev Ops Edition: Select your edition of Azure DevOps.

  • AzureDevOps Online (default)

  • AzureDevOps OnPremise: For this edition, you must also specify the following properties:

    • URL: Enter the public URL of your Azure DevOps On-Premises instance (for example, https://localhost/defaultcollection).

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

CData Sync supports authenticating to Azure DevOps in a couple of ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

• Azure Active Directory (Note: This authentication scheme is not supported for AzureDevOps OnPremise.)

• Basic

Azure Active Directory

To connect with an Azure Active Directory (AD) user account, select AzureAD for Auth Scheme. CData Sync provides an embedded OAuth application with which to connect, so no additional properties are required.

Basic

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

• Auth Scheme: Select Basic.

• Personal Access Token: Enter the personal access token that you use to access your organization’s data.

  To generate a personal access token:

  1. Log in to your Azure DevOps Organization account.

  2. Select Profile > Personal Access Tokens > New Token to generate a token.

Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. Specify the following properties:

   • Catalog: Enter the catalog that you want to use for querying tables.

   • Include Custom Fields: Specify whether you want Sync to display custom fields as columns in Azure DevOps tables. The default option is True.

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

3. If you authenticate with AzureAD, click Connect to Azure DevOps to connect to your Azure DevOps account.

4. Click Create & Test to create your connection.
