LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

Overview

The CData Sync App provides a straightforward way to continuously pipeline your LinkedIn data to any database, data lake, or data warehouse, making it easily available for Analytics, Reporting, AI, and Machine Learning.

The LinkedIn connector can be used from the CData Sync application to pull data from LinkedIn and move it to any of the supported destinations.

LinkedIn Version Support

The Sync App mostly leverages LinkedIn's versioned APIs (currently 202510) and in some rare cases LinkedIn's unversioned APIs (/v2) for performing read and write operations.

LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

Establishing a Connection

Adding a Connection to LinkedIn

To add a connection to LinkedIn:

  1. In the application console, navigate to the Connections page.
  2. At the Add Connections panel, select the icon for the connection you want to add.
  3. If the LinkedIn icon is not available, click the Add More icon to download and install the LinkedIn connector from the CData site.

For required properties, see the Settings tab.

For connection properties that are not typically required, see the Advanced tab.

Connecting to LinkedIn

The LinkedIn CompanyId is a string of numbers, usually 6 to 9 digits long, that is unique to your company. Working with LinkedIn entities that require the CompanyId to be exposed, requires Company Page Administrator permissions.

There are two ways to find your site's LinkedIn Company ID:

  • Look at the URL of the search results page when you search for your company name in your LinkedIn page's Company dropdown. The ID is the value in the URL after /search/?f_C=[numeric value]&.

  • As a LinkedIn Page Admin, use the All Pages or Home tab to navigate to the page's Admin View. The ID is the numbers in the URL that come after https://www.linkedin.com/company/.

CompanyId is required in most of the LinkedIn data model entities. You can specify it directly as part of a query or -- if the query you are using is not easily modified -- you can set it globally.

If you are not sure if it is required for a query you want to run, check the table or view description, or see whether it is specified as a column or pseudo-column.

Authenticating to LinkedIn

LinkedIn provides embedded OAuth credentials that simplify connection from a Desktop application . To connect from a Web application, you must create a custom OAuth application, as described in Creating a Custom OAuth Application.

To connect via OAuth from all authentication flows, you must set AuthScheme to OAuth.

The following subsections describe how to authenticate to LinkedIn from the available OAuth flows. For information about how to create a custom OAuth application, and why you might want to create one even for auth flows that already have embedded OAuth credentials, see Creating a Custom OAuth Application.

For a complete list of connection string properties available in LinkedIn, see Connection.

When the access token expires, the Sync App refreshes it automatically.

OAuth Scopes and Endpoints

Required Scopes and Endpoint Domains for LinkedIn

When integrating with LinkedIn, your application needs specific permissions to interact with the API.

These permissions are defined by access scopes, which determine what data your application can access and what actions it can perform.

This topic provides information about the required access scopes and endpoint domains for the LinkedIn Sync App.

Understanding Scopes

Scopes are a way to limit an application's access to a user's data. They define the specific actions that an application can perform on behalf of the user.

For example, a read-only scope might allow an application to view data, while a full access scope might allow it to modify data.

Required Scopes for LinkedIn

To see what scopes are granted by each API product, refer to LinkedIn's documentation.

Understanding Endpoint Domains

Endpoint domains are the specific URLs that the application needs to communicate with in order to authenticate, retrieve records, and perform other essential operations.

Allowlisting these domains ensures that the network traffic between your application and the API is not blocked by firewalls or security settings.

Note: Most users do not need to make any special configurations. Allowlisting is typically only necessary for environments with strict security measures, such as restricted outbound network traffic.

Required Endpoint Domains for LinkedIn

DomainAlways RequiredDescription
linkedin.comTrueThe main domain used for accessing the main LinkedIn API-s that the Sync App uses.
licdn.comFalseThe domain used for downloading LinkedIn assets through its CDN such as Images or Videos (see DownloadAsset as well).

LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

Advanced Features

This section details a selection of advanced features of the LinkedIn Sync App.

User Defined Views

The Sync App supports the use of user defined views, virtual tables whose contents are decided by a pre-configured user defined query. These views are useful when you cannot directly control queries being issued to the drivers. For an overview of creating and configuring custom views, see User Defined Views .

SSL Configuration

Use SSL Configuration to adjust how Sync App handles TLS/SSL certificate negotiations. You can choose from various certificate formats;. For further information, see the SSLServerCert property under "Connection String Options" .

Firewall and Proxy

Configure the Sync App for compliance with Firewall and Proxy, including Windows proxies and HTTP proxies. You can also set up tunnel connections.

Query Processing

The Sync App offloads as much of the SELECT statement processing as possible to LinkedIn and then processes the rest of the query in memory (client-side).

For further information, see Query Processing.

Logging

For an overview of configuration settings that can be used to refine CData logging, see Logging. Only two connection properties are required for basic logging, but there are numerous features that support more refined logging, which enables you to use the LogModules connection property to specify subsets of information to be logged.

LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

SSL Configuration

Customizing the SSL Configuration

By default, the Sync App attempts to negotiate TLS with the server. The server certificate is validated against the default system trusted certificate store. You can override how the certificate gets validated using the SSLServerCert connection property.

To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert connection property.

LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

Firewall and Proxy

Connecting Through a Firewall or Proxy

HTTP Proxies

To authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set the following:

  • ProxyServer: the hostname or IP address of the proxy server that you want to route HTTP traffic through.
  • ProxyPort: the TCP port that the proxy server is running on.
  • ProxyAuthScheme: the authentication method the Sync App uses when authenticating to the proxy server.
  • ProxyUser: the username of a user account registered with the proxy server.
  • ProxyPassword: the password associated with the ProxyUser.

Other Proxies

Set the following properties:

  • To use a proxy-based firewall, set FirewallType, FirewallServer, and FirewallPort.
  • To tunnel the connection, set FirewallType to TUNNEL.
  • To authenticate, specify FirewallUser and FirewallPassword.
  • To authenticate to a SOCKS proxy, additionally set FirewallType to SOCKS5.

LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

Data Model

The CData Sync App models entities in the LinkedIn API as tables, views, and stored procedures. These are defined in schema files, which are simple, text-based configuration files. The Sync App uses the LinkedIn API to process supported filters. The Sync App processes other filters client-side within the Sync App.

Views

Views are tables that cannot be modified. Typically, read-only data are shown as views.

Stored Procedures

Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to the data source. They can be used to search, update, and modify information in the data source.

LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

Tables

The Sync App models the data in LinkedIn as a list of tables in a relational database that can be queried using standard SQL statements.

LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync Tables

Name Description
Comments Query Comments data for Posts in the Organization Pages that you administer.
CompanyStatusUpdates Read and write posts in your organizations.
Events Read and update events in your organizations.

LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

Comments

Query Comments data for Posts in the Organization Pages that you administer.

Select

The Comments table supports filtering in the WHERE clause using the Id column with only the = operator, and for the UpdateId column with both the = and IN operators. The = operator is fully supported server-side, whereas the IN operator is partially supported server-side and partially client-side. Refer to the query examples below:
SELECT * FROM Comments WHERE Id = 7155174232715386880 and UpdateId = 'urn:li:share:7155174232715386880';
SELECT * FROM Comments WHERE UpdateId = 'urn:li:share:7155174232715386880';
SELECT * FROM Comments WHERE UpdateId IN ('urn:li:share:7155174232715386880', 'urn:li:share:7165681621608738816');

The following query returns the data for the columns we expose in the view, for each Post in each Organization Page that the user administers.

SELECT * FROM Comments;
To retrieve information on Posts in your Organization Pages, use CompanyStatusUpdates.

Insert

The Comments table supports creating new comments on the posts of the organization pages that the user administers. For successful creation, you will need to specify the UpdateId and Text parameters. If the CreatedBy parameter isn’t filled, the driver will use the URN of the authenticated user or the URN of the company if the CompanyId connection property is specified. Refer to examples below:
INSERT INTO Comments (UpdateId, Text) VALUES ('urn:li:share:7155174232715386880', 'Test Comment')
INSERT INTO Comments (UpdateId, Text, CreatedBy) VALUES ('urn:li:share:7155174232715386880', 'Test Comment', 'urn:li:organisation:101877555')

Update

The Comments table supports updating the content of the comments on the posts of the organization pages that the user administers. Only the Text field is updatable.
UPDATE Comments SET Text = 'Test Comment' WHERE Id = 715517423271578940
UPDATE Comments SET Text = 'Test Comment' WHERE Id = 715517423271578940 AND UpdateId = 'urn:li:share:7155174232715386880'

Delete

The Comments table supports removing comments from the posts of the organization pages that the user administers.
DELETE FROM Comments WHERE Id = 715517423271578940

LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

CompanyFollowerStatistics

Query statistics about followers for a particular company page.

Select

The Sync App uses the LinkedIn API to process WHERE clause conditions built with the following column and operator. The rest of the filter is executed client side within the Sync App.
  • CompanyId supports only the '=' operator.
  • TimeGranularity supports only the '=' operator.
  • ReportTimeRangeStart supports only the '=' operator.
  • ReportTimeRangeEnd supports only the '=' operator.

For example, the following queries are processed server side:

SELECT * FROM CompanyFollowerStatistics WHERE CompanyId = '183432'
SELECT * FROM CompanyFollowerStatistics WHERE ReportTimeRangeStart = '2019-10-20' AND ReportTimeRangeEnd = '2020-10-15'
SELECT * FROM CompanyFollowerStatistics WHERE ReportTimeRangeStart = '2019-10-15' AND TimeGranularity = 'DAY'
SELECT * FROM CompanyFollowerStatistics WHERE TimeGranularity = 'MONTH' AND ReportTimeRangeStart = '2019-10-15' AND ReportTimeRangeEnd = '2020-10-15' AND CompanyId = '10904095'

Time-Based Data Queries

The three inputs that control time-based data queries are TimeGranularity, TimeRangeStart, and TimeRangeEnd. TimeGranularity is not always required, but if it is specified you must also specify TimeRange Start, TimeRangeEnd, or both.

The behavior of TimeGranularity in a query depends on what other inputs are specified.

Inputs specified Result
None The driver returns all data from the time the company page was created until the present time, in one record.
TimeRangeStart only
(no TimeRangeEnd or TimeGranularity)
The driver returns all data from the time specified in TimeRangeStart until the present time, in one record.
TimeRangeStart and TimeRangeEnd
(no TimeRangeGranularity)
The driver returns all data from the time specified in TimeRangeStart until the time specified in TimeRangeEnd, in one record. If the value specified in TimeRangeStart is older than the time when the page was created, it retrieves all data from the time the page was created to the time specified in TimeRangeEnd.
TimeRangeEnd only
(no TimeRangeStart or TimeGranularity)
The driver returns all data from the time the company page was created, until the time specified in TimeRangeEnd, in one record.
All The driver breaks down the data into multiple records with different time intervals: one record for every day/month beginning from TimeRangeStart until TimeRangeEnd, depending on the value specified in TimeGranularity.

Columns

LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

CompanyPageStatistics

Query statistics about page views for a particular company page.

Select

The Sync App uses the LinkedIn API to process WHERE clause conditions built with the following column and operator. The rest of the filter is executed client side within the Sync App.
  • CompanyId supports only the '=' operator.
  • TimeGranularity supports only the '=' operator.
  • ReportTimeRangeStart supports only the '=' operator.
  • ReportTimeRangeEnd supports only the '=' operator.

The CompanyPageStatistics view allows you to retrieve both lifetime and time-bound statistics on views and clicks for an organization page.

  • Lifetime page statistics: To retrieve lifetime page statistics, do not set the ReportTimeRangeStart and ReportTimeRangeEnd in the WHERE clause conditions. The API returns view and click statistics segmented by various facets. For example:
    SELECT * FROM [CompanyPageStatistics]
  • Time-bound page statistics: To retrieve time-bound page statistics, include the ReportTimeRangeStart and/or ReportTimeRangeEnd in the WHERE clause conditions. The API returns aggregate page statistics within all of the days or months in between the selected date range based on the specified TimeGranularity (DAY or MONTH). For example:
    SELECT * FROM [CompanyPageStatistics] WHERE ReportTimeRangeStart = '2019-10-20' AND ReportTimeRangeEnd = '2020-10-15'
    
    SELECT * FROM [CompanyPageStatistics] WHERE ReportTimeRangeStart = '2019-10-15' AND TimeGranularity = 'DAY'
    
    SELECT * FROM [CompanyPageStatistics] WHERE TimeGranularity = 'MONTH' AND ReportTimeRangeStart = '2019-10-15' AND ReportTimeRangeEnd = '2020-10-15' AND companyId = '10904095'

Time-Based Data Queries

The three inputs that control time-based data queries are TimeGranularity, TimeRangeStart, and TimeRangeEnd. TimeGranularity is not always required, but if it is specified you must also specify TimeRange Start, TimeRangeEnd, or both.

CompanyUpdateStatistics

Query update statistics about a company. If the TimeRange filters are not specified, the default result set is for the last 12 months.

Select

The Sync App uses the LinkedIn API to process WHERE clause conditions built with the following column and operator. The rest of the filter is executed client side within the Sync App.
  • CompanyId supports only the '=' operator.
  • TimeGranularity supports only the '=' operator.
  • TimeRangeStart supports only the '=' operator.
  • TimeRangeEnd supports only the '=' operator.
  • UGCPostId supports the '=,IN' comparisons.

For example, the following queries are processed server side:

SELECT * FROM CompanyUpdateStatistics WHERE TimeRangeStart = '2019-10-20' AND TimeRangeEnd = '2020-10-15'
SELECT * FROM CompanyUpdateStatistics WHERE TimeRangeStart = '2019-10-15' AND TimeGranularity = 'DAY'
SELECT * FROM CompanyUpdateStatistics WHERE TimeGranularity = 'MONTH' AND TimeRangeStart = '2019-10-15' AND TimeRangeEnd = '2020-10-15' AND CompanyId = '10904095'
SELECT * FROM CompanyUpdateStatistics WHERE CompanyId = '183432'
SELECT * FROM CompanyUpdateStatistics WHERE UGCPostId = 'urn:li:ugcPost:1234'
SELECT * FROM CompanyUpdateStatistics WHERE UGCPostId IN ('urn:li:ugcPost:1234', 'urn:li:ugcPost:2345')

Time-Based Data Queries

The three inputs that control time-based data queries are TimeGranularity, TimeRangeStart, and TimeRangeEnd. TimeGranularity is not always required, but if it is specified you must also specify TimeRange Start, TimeRangeEnd, or both.

The behavior of TimeGranularity in a query depends on what other inputs are specified.

Inputs specified Result
None The driver returns all data from the time the company page was created until the present time, in one record.
TimeRangeStart only
(no TimeRangeEnd or TimeGranularity)
The driver returns all data from the time specified in TimeRangeStart until the present time, in one record.
TimeRangeStart and TimeRangeEnd
(no TimeRangeGranularity)
The driver returns all data from the time specified in TimeRangeStart until the time specified in TimeRangeEnd, in one record. If the value specified in TimeRangeStart is older than the time when the page was created, it retrieves all data from the time the page was created to the time specified in TimeRangeEnd.
TimeRangeEnd only
(no TimeRangeStart or TimeGranularity)
The driver returns all data from the time the company page was created, until the time specified in TimeRangeEnd, in one record.
All The driver breaks down the data into multiple records with different time intervals: one record for every day/month beginning from TimeRangeStart until TimeRangeEnd, depending on the value specified in TimeGranularity.

Additionally, the casing used for these values matters. The {ACTION} part must be in camel case (for example: 'organizationRoleAuthorizationAction') and the {TYPE} part must be in all-caps snake case (for example: 'ADMINISTRATOR_READ'). Refer to LinkedIn's API documentation for the values to use for the {ACTION} and {TYPE} placeholders.

OAuth

This section provides a complete list of the OAuth properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.


PropertyDescription
OAuthClientIdSpecifies the client ID (also known as the consumer key) assigned to your custom OAuth application. This ID is required to identify the application to the OAuth authorization server during authentication.
OAuthClientSecretSpecifies the client secret assigned to your custom OAuth application. This confidential value is used to authenticate the application to the OAuth authorization server. (Custom OAuth applications only.).
ScopeA specific scope that the user requires the access token.
LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

OAuthClientId

Specifies the client ID (also known as the consumer key) assigned to your custom OAuth application. This ID is required to identify the application to the OAuth authorization server during authentication.

Remarks

This property is required in two cases:

  • When using a custom OAuth application, such as in web-based authentication flows, service-based authentication, or certificate-based flows that require application registration.
  • If the driver does not provide embedded OAuth credentials.

(When the driver provides embedded OAuth credentials, this value may already be provided by the Sync App and thus not require manual entry.)

OAuthClientId is generally used alongside other OAuth-related properties such as OAuthClientSecret and OAuthSettingsLocation when configuring an authenticated connection.

OAuthClientId is one of the key connection parameters that need to be set before users can authenticate via OAuth. You can usually find this value in your identity provider’s application registration settings. Look for a field labeled Client ID, Application ID, or Consumer Key.

While the client ID is not considered a confidential value like a client secret, it is still part of your application's identity and should be handled carefully. Avoid exposing it in public repositories or shared configuration files.

For more information on how this property is used when configuring a connection, see Establishing a Connection.

LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

OAuthClientSecret

Specifies the client secret assigned to your custom OAuth application. This confidential value is used to authenticate the application to the OAuth authorization server. (Custom OAuth applications only.).

Remarks

This property (sometimes called the application secret or consumer secret) is required when using a custom OAuth application in any flow that requires secure client authentication, such as web-based OAuth, service-based connections, or certificate-based authorization flows. It is not required when using an embedded OAuth application.

The client secret is used during the token exchange step of the OAuth flow, when the driver requests an access token from the authorization server. If this value is missing or incorrect, authentication fails with either an invalid_client or an unauthorized_client error.

OAuthClientSecret is one of the key connection parameters that need to be set before users can authenticate via OAuth. You can obtain this value from your identity provider when registering the OAuth application.

Notes:

  • This value should be stored securely and never exposed in public repositories, scripts, or unsecured environments.
  • Client secrets may also expire after a set period. Be sure to monitor expiration dates and rotate secrets as needed to maintain uninterrupted access.

For more information on how this property is used when configuring a connection, see Establishing a Connection

LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

FirewallType

Specifies the protocol the provider uses to tunnel traffic through a proxy-based firewall.

Remarks

A proxy-based firewall (or proxy firewall) is a network security device that acts as an intermediary between user requests and the resources they access. The proxy accepts the request of an authenticated user, tunnels through the firewall, and transmits the request to the appropriate server.

Because the proxy evaluates and transfers data backets on behalf of the requesting users, the users never connect directly with the servers, only with the proxy.

Note: By default, the Sync App connects to the system proxy. To disable this behavior and connect to one of the following proxy types, set ProxyAutoDetect to false.

The following table provides port number information for each of the supported protocols.

Protocol Default Port Description
TUNNEL 80 The port where the Sync App opens a connection to LinkedIn. Traffic flows back and forth via the proxy at this location.
SOCKS4 1080 The port where the Sync App opens a connection to LinkedIn. SOCKS 4 then passes theFirewallUser value to the proxy, which determines whether the connection request should be granted.
SOCKS5 1080 The port where the Sync App sends data to LinkedIn. If the SOCKS 5 proxy requires authentication, set FirewallUser and FirewallPassword to credentials the proxy recognizes.

To connect to HTTP proxies, use ProxyServer and ProxyPort. To authenticate to HTTP proxies, use ProxyAuthScheme, ProxyUser, and ProxyPassword.

Logging

This section provides a complete list of the Logging properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.


PropertyDescription
LogModulesSpecifies the core modules to include in the log file. Use a semicolon-separated list of module names. By default, all modules are logged.
LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

LogModules

Specifies the core modules to include in the log file. Use a semicolon-separated list of module names. By default, all modules are logged.

Remarks

The Sync App writes details about each operation it performs into the logfile specified by the Logfile connection property.

Each of these logged operations are assigned to a themed category called a module, and each module has a corresponding short code used to labels individual Sync App operations as belonging to that module.

When this connection property is set to a semicolon-separated list of module codes, only operations belonging to the specified modules are written to the logfile. Note that this only affects which operations are logged moving forward and doesn't retroactively alter the existing contents of the logfile. For example: INFO;EXEC;SSL;META;

By default, logged operations from all modules are included.

You can explicitly exclude a module by prefixing it with a "-". For example: -HTTP

To apply filters to submodules, identify them with the syntax <module name>.<submodule name>. For example, the following value causes the Sync App to only log actions belonging to the HTTP module, and further refines it to exclude actions belonging to the Res submodule of the HTTP module: HTTP;-HTTP.Res

Note that the logfile filtering triggered by the Verbosity connection property takes precedence over the filtering imposed by this connection property. This means that operations of a higher verbosity level than the level specified in the Verbosity connection property are not printed in the logfile, even if they belong to one of the modules specified in this connection property.

The available modules and submodules are:

Listing all available tables from some databases can take extra time, thus degrading performance. Providing a list of tables in the connection string saves time and improves performance.

If there are lots of tables available and you already know which ones you want to work with, you can use this property to restrict your viewing to only those tables. To do this, specify the tables you want in a comma-separated list. Each table should be a valid SQL identifier with any special characters escaped using square brackets, double-quotes or backticks. For example, Tables=TableA,[TableB/WithSlash],WithCatalog.WithSchema.`TableC With Space`.

Note: If you are connecting to a data source with multiple schemas or catalogs, you must specify each table you want to view by its fully qualified name. This avoids ambiguity between tables that may exist in multiple catalogs or schemas.

Views

Optional setting that restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC .

Remarks

Listing all available views from some databases can take extra time, thus degrading performance. Providing a list of views in the connection string saves time and improves performance.

If there are lots of views available and you already know which ones you want to work with, you can use this property to restrict your viewing to only those views. To do this, specify the views you want in a comma-separated list. Each view should be a valid SQL identifier with any special characters escaped using square brackets, double-quotes or backticks. For example, Views=ViewA,[ViewB/WithSlash],WithCatalog.WithSchema.`ViewC With Space`.

Note: If you are connecting to a data source with multiple schemas or catalogs, you must specify each view you want to examine by its fully qualified name. This avoids ambiguity between views that may exist in multiple catalogs or schemas.

MaxRows

Specifies the maximum number of rows returned for queries that do not include either aggregation or GROUP BY.

Remarks

The default value for this property, -1, means that no row limit is enforced unless the query explicitly includes a LIMIT clause. (When a query includes a LIMIT clause, the value specified in the query takes precedence over the MaxRows setting.)

Setting MaxRows to a whole number greater than 0 ensures that queries do not return excessively large result sets by default.

This property is useful for optimizing performance and preventing excessive resource consumption when executing queries that could otherwise return very large datasets.

Other

Specifies advanced connection properties for specialized scenarios. Use this property only under the guidance of our Support team to address specific issues.

Remarks

This property allows advanced users to configure hidden properties for specialized situations, with the advice of our Support team. These settings are not required for normal use cases but can address unique requirements or provide additional functionality. To define multiple properties, use a semicolon-separated list.

Note: It is strongly recommended to set these properties only when advised by the Support team to address specific scenarios or issues.

Integration and Formatting

PropertyDescription
DefaultColumnSizeSets the default length of string fields when the data source does not provide column length in the metadata. The default value is 2000.
ConvertDateTimeToGMT=TrueConverts date-time values to GMT, instead of the local time of the machine. The default value is False (use local time).
RecordToFile=filenameRecords the underlying socket data transfer to the specified file.

Pagesize

Specifies the maximum number of records per page the provider returns when requesting data from LinkedIn.

Remarks

When processing a query, instead of requesting all of the queried data at once from LinkedIn, the Sync App can request the queried data in pieces called pages.

This connection property determines the maximum number of results that the Sync App requests per page.

Note: Setting large page sizes may improve overall query execution time, but doing so causes the Sync App to use more memory when executing queries and risks triggering a timeout.

LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

PseudoColumns

Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns, expressed as a string in the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'.

Remarks

This property allows you to define which pseudocolumns the Sync App exposes as table columns.

To specify individual pseudocolumns, use the following format:

Table1=Column1;Table1=Column2;Table2=Column3

To include all pseudocolumns for all tables use:

*=*

Timeout

Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error.

Remarks

The timeout applies to each individual communication with the server rather than the entire query or operation. For example, a query could continue running beyond 60 seconds if each paging call completes within the timeout limit.

Timeout is set to 60 seconds by default. To disable timeouts, set this property to 0.

Disabling the timeout allows operations to run indefinitely until they succeed or fail due to other conditions such as server-side timeouts, network interruptions, or resource limits on the server.

Note: Use this property cautiously to avoid long-running operations that could degrade performance or result in unresponsive behavior.

LinkedIn Connector for CData Sync

UserDefinedViews

Specifies a filepath to a JSON configuration file that defines custom views. The provider automatically detects and uses the views specified in this file.

Remarks

UserDefinedViews allows you to define and manage custom views through a JSON-formatted configuration file called UserDefinedViews.json. These views are automatically recognized by the Sync App and enable you to execute custom SQL queries as if they were standard database views. The JSON file defines each view as a root element with a child element called "query", which contains the SQL query for the view.

For example:

{
	"MyView": {
		"query": "SELECT * FROM CompanyStatusUpdates WHERE MyColumn = 'value'"
	},
	"MyView2": {
		"query": "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Id IN (1,2,3)"
	}
}

You can use this property to define multiple views in a single file and specify the filepath. For example:

UserDefinedViews=C:\Path\To\UserDefinedViews.json
When you specify a view in UserDefinedViews, the Sync App only sees that view.

For further information, see User Defined Views.

NSIS 3.10

Copyright (C) 1999-2025 Contributors THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

1. DEFINITIONS

"Contribution" means:

a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:

i) changes to the Program, and

ii) additions to the Program;

where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.

"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.

"Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.

"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.

"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all Contributors.

2. GRANT OF RIGHTS

a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form.

b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.

c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program.

d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.

3. REQUIREMENTS

A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that:

a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

b) its license agreement:

i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;

ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;

iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and

iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.

When the Program is made available in source code form:

a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and

b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.

Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.

Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.

4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION

Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.

For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.

5. NO WARRANTY

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.

6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7. GENERAL

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.

If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.
