Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

Overview

The CData Sync App provides a straightforward way to continuously pipeline your Microsoft Office 365 data to any database, data lake, or data warehouse, making it easily available for Analytics, Reporting, AI, and Machine Learning.

The Microsoft Office 365 connector can be used from the CData Sync application to pull data from Microsoft Office 365 and move it to any of the supported destinations.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

Establishing a Connection

Create a connection to Microsoft Office 365 by navigating to the Connections page in the Sync App application and selecting the corresponding icon in the Add Connections panel. If the Microsoft Office 365 icon is not available, click the Add More icon to download and install the Microsoft Office 365 connector from the CData site.

Required properties are listed under the Settings tab. The Advanced tab lists connection properties that are not typically required.

Authenticating to Microsoft Office 365

Microsoft Office 365 uses the OAuth authentication standard. To authenticate using OAuth, you will need to create an app to obtain the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL connection properties.

Azure AD

Azure AD is a connection type that leverages OAuth to authenticate. OAuth requires the authenticating user to interact with Microsoft Office 365 using an internet browser. The Sync App facilitates this in several ways as described below. Set your AuthScheme to AzureAD. All AzureAD flows assume that you have done so.

Desktop Applications

CData provides an embedded OAuth application that simplifies OAuth desktop Authentication. Alternatively, you can create a custom OAuth application. See Creating a Custom AzureAD App for information about creating custom applications and reasons for doing so.

For authentication, the only difference between the two methods is that you must set two additional connection properties when using custom OAuth applications.

After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

  • OAuthClientId: (custom applications only) Set this to the client Id in your application settings.
  • OAuthClientSecret: (custom applications only) Set this to the client secret in your application settings.
  • CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URL in your application settings.

When you connect the Sync App opens the OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application.

Web Applications

When connecting via a Web application, you need to register a custom OAuth app with Microsoft Office 365. See Creating a Custom AzureAD App. You can then use the Sync App to get and manage the OAuth token values. Get an OAuth Access Token

Set one of the following connection properties groups depending on the authentication type to obtain the OAuthAccessToken:

  1. Authenticating using a Client Secret
    • OAuthClientId: Set this to the client Id in your app settings.
    • OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the client secret in your app settings.
  2. Authenticating using a Certificate
    • OAuthClientId: Set this to the client Id in your app settings.
    • OAuthJWTCert: Set this to the JWT Certificate store.
    • OAuthJWTCertType: Set this to the type of the certificate store specified by OAuthJWTCert.

You can then call stored procedures to complete the OAuth exchange:

  1. Call the GetOAuthAuthorizationURL stored procedure. Set the AuthMode input to WEB and set the CallbackURL input to the Redirect URI you specified in your app settings. If necessary, set the Permissions parameter to request custom permissions.

    The stored procedure returns the URL to the OAuth endpoint.

  2. Open the URL, log in, and authorize the application. You are redirected back to the callback URL.
  3. Call the GetOAuthAccessToken stored procedure. Set the AuthMode input to WEB. Set the Verifier input to the "code" parameter in the query string of the callback URL. If necessary, set the Permissions parameter to request custom permissions.

To connect to data, set the OAuthAccessToken connection property to the access token returned by the stored procedure. When the access token expires after ExpiresIn seconds, call GetOAuthAccessToken again to obtain a new access token.

Admin Consent

Admin consent refers to when the Admin for an Azure Active Directory tenant grants permissions to an application which requires an admin to consent to the use case. The embedded app within the CData Sync App, contains no permissions that require admin consent. Therefore, this information applies only to custom applications.

Admin Consent Permissions

When creating a new AzureAD app in the Azure Portal, you must specify which permissions the app will require. Some permissions may be marked as "Admin Consent Required". For example, all Groups permissions require Admin Consent. If your app requires admin consent, there are a couple of ways this can be done.

The easiest way to grant admin consent is to just have an admin log into portal.azure.com and navigate to the app you have created in App Registrations. Under API Permissions, click Grant Consent for your app to have permissions on the tenant under which it was created.

If your organization has multiple tenants or you need to grant application permissions for other tenants outside your organization, use the GetAdminConsentURL stored procedure to generate the Admin Authorization URL. Unlike the GetOAuthAuthorizationURL, there will be no important information returned from this endpoint. After the OAuth application is successfully authorized, it returns a Boolean indicating that permissions have been granted.

After the administrator has approved the OAuth Application, you can continue to authenticate.

Client Credentials

Client credentials refers to a flow in OAuth where there is no direct user authentication taking place. Instead, credentials are created for just the app itself. All tasks taken by the app are done without a default user context. This makes the authentication flow a bit different from standard.

Client OAuth Flow

All permissions related to the client oauth flow require admin consent. This means the app embedded with the CData Sync App cannot be used in the client oauth flow. You must create your own OAuth app in order to use client credentials. See Creating a Custom AzureAD App for more details.

In your App Registration in portal.azure.com, navigate to API Permissions and select the Microsoft Graph permissions. There are two distinct sets of permissions - Delegated and Application permissions. The permissions used during client credential authentication are under Application Permissions. Select the permissions you require for your integration.

You are ready to connect after setting one of the connection properties groups depending on the authentication type.

  1. Authenticating using a Client Secret
    • InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken.
    • AzureTenant: Set this to the tenant you wish to connect to.
    • OAuthGrantType: Set this to CLIENT.
    • OAuthClientId: Set this to the client Id in your app settings.
    • OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the client secret in your app settings.
  2. Authenticating using a Certificate
    • InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken.
    • AzureTenant: Set this to the tenant you wish to connect to.
    • OAuthGrantType: Set this to CLIENT.
    • OAuthClientId: Set this to the client Id in your app settings.
    • OAuthJWTCert: Set this to the JWT Certificate store.
    • OAuthJWTCertType: Set this to the type of the certificate store specified by OAuthJWTCert.

Authentication with client credentials takes place automatically like any other connection, except there is no window opened prompting the user. Because there is no user context, there is no need for a browser popup. Connections will take place and be handled internally.

Azure Service Principal

Azure Service Principal is a connection type that goes through OAuth. Set your AuthScheme to AzureServicePrincipal. The authentication as an Azure Service Principal is handled via the OAuth Client Credentials flow, and it does not involve direct user authentication. Instead, credentials are created for just the app itself. All tasks taken by the app are done without a default user context, but based on the assigned roles. The application access to the resources is controlled through the assigned roles' permissions.

Note: You must create a custom application prior to assigning a role. See Creating a Custom AzureAD App for more information.

When authenticating using an Azure Service Principal, you must register an application with an Azure AD tenant. Follow the steps below to create a new service principal that can be used with the role-based access control.

Assign a role to the application

To access resources in your subscription, you must assign a role to the application.

  1. Open the Subscriptions page by searching and selecting the Subscriptions service from the search bar.
  2. Select the particular subscription to assign the application to.
  3. Open the Access control (IAM) and select Add > Add role assignment to open the Add role assignment page.
  4. Select Owner as the role to assign to your created Azure AD app.

Complete the Authentication

You are ready to connect after setting one of the below connection properties groups, depending on the configured app authentication (client secret or certificate).

In both methods

Before choosing client secret or certicate authentication, follow these steps then continue to the relevant section below:

  1. AuthScheme: Set this to the AzureServicePrincipal in your app settings.
  2. InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken.
  3. AzureTenant: Set this to the tenant you wish to connect to.
  4. OAuthClientId: Set this to the client Id in your app settings.
Authenticating using a Client Secret

Continue with the following:

  1. OAuthClientId: Set this to the client Id in your app settings.
  2. OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the client secret in your app settings.

Authenticating using a Certificate

Continue with the following:

  1. OAuthJWTCert: Set this to the JWT Certificate store.
  2. OAuthJWTCertType: Set this to the type of the certificate store specified by OAuthJWTCert.

MSI

If you are running Microsoft Office 365 on an Azure VM, you can leverage Managed Service Identity (MSI) credentials to connect:

  • AuthScheme: Set this to AzureMSI.

The MSI credentials are automatically obtained for authentication.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

Administrative Tasks

The CData Sync App can be used to perform administrative tasks. This can be done by specifying the UserId column to execute CUD operations.

The UserId Column

Many tables expose a special UserId column. This is designed to be used by an administrator to modify records on another user's account. If you are not an administrator or do not desire this behavior, do not specify the UserId when performing an INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE operation. For instance, executing the following will insert a contact for another user:

INSERT INTO Contacts (displayName, CompanyName, UserId) VALUES ('Bill', 'Bob Co', '12345')

The above request will have the overall effect of attempting to add a contact under the resource at /users/12345/contacts. When UserId is not specified, the resources affected will instead be modified under /users/me/contacts. In general if you are not an administrator, you can only affect or view records under /users/me, so it is not recommended to set UserId when you are not an admin.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

Advanced Features

This section details a selection of advanced features of the Microsoft Office 365 Sync App.

User Defined Views

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

SSL Configuration

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

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 Microsoft Office 365 and then processes the rest of the query in memory (client-side).

See Query Processing for more information.

Logging

See Logging for an overview of configuration settings that can be used to refine CData logging. For basic logging, you only need to set two connection properties, but there are numerous features that support more refined logging, where you can select subsets of information to be logged using the LogModules connection property.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

SSL Configuration

Customizing the SSL Configuration

By default, the Sync App attempts to negotiate SSL/TLS by checking the server's certificate against the system's trusted certificate store.

To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert property for the available formats to do so.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

Firewall and Proxy

Connecting Through a Firewall or Proxy

HTTP Proxies

To connect through the Windows system proxy, you do not need to set any additional connection properties. To connect to other proxies, set ProxyAutoDetect to false.

In addition, to authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set ProxyAuthScheme, ProxyUser, and ProxyPassword, in addition to ProxyServer and ProxyPort.

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.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

Data Model

The Sync App models the Microsoft Office 365 API as relational tables. Any changes to the remote data are immediately reflected in your queries; the table definitions are dynamically retrieved. When you connect, the Sync App connects to Microsoft Office 365 and gets the list of tables and the metadata for the tables by calling the appropriate Web services.

API limitations and requirements are documented in this section; you can use the SupportEnhancedSQL feature, set by default, to circumvent most of these limitations.

Tables

Tables shows definitions from a sample Office 365 site. The actual data model will be obtained dynamically based on your user credentials and Office 365 site.

Stored Procedures

Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to Office365. They can be used to search, update, and modify information in Office365.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

Tables

The Sync App models the data in Microsoft Office 365 into a list of tables that can be queried using standard SQL statements.

Generally, querying Microsoft Office 365 tables is the same as querying a table in a relational database. Sometimes there are special cases, for example, including a certain column in the WHERE clause might be required to get data for certain columns in the table. This is typically needed for situations where a separate request must be made for each row to get certain columns. These types of situations are clearly documented at the top of the table page linked below.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

Groups

The Office365 table Groups.

Table Specific Information

Groups require Administrator permissions. To work with them, you must create your own custom OAuth App and set the appropriate OAuthClientId and OAuthClientSecret. In this app, you must configure it to request the Group.Read.All and the Group.ReadWrite.All permissions. This can be done at https://apps.dev.microsoft.com, or in the App Registrations panel at http://portal.azure.com. See Creating a Custom AzureAD App for more details on creating a custom app.

To authorize Groups permissions, an administrator must grant the Groups permissions for your organization at large. This can be done via the administrator authorization endpoint. Simply have the administrator navigate to the following web page and grant permissions. Then run the OAuth authorization as normal afterwards.

https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/adminconsent?client_id=[YourClientId]&redirect_uri=http://localhost:33333

Note that if your organization has multiple tenants, you may replace the /common/ in the url with the tenant id to indicate which tenant to grant permissions for.

Messages

The Office365 table Messages.

Table Specific Information

Select

You can retrieve all from Messages, specify a Message (Id), UserId, or ParentFolderId, or you can filter results by a certain column:

SELECT * FROM Messages
SELECT * FROM Messages WHERE Id = 'MyMessageId'

SELECT * FROM Messages WHERE UserId = 'MyUserId'

SELECT * FROM Messages WHERE ParentFolderId = 'MyParentfolderId' 
SELECT * FROM Messages WHERE ParentFolderId = 'Drafts'
SELECT DisplayName, Id FROM Users WHERE DisplayName LIKE 'John%'

Insert

After the insert a new Message will be created in the User's Drafts folder.

INSERT INTO Messages (Subject, Body_Content, UserId) VALUES ('New test Email', 'Test Email created.', 'User Id goes here')

Note: To send the mail, see SendMail.

Known Issues

There's currently an issue with this table. Sometimes it may return an inconsistent number of results. That is, it can return X number of rows for some query and if you try that query again shortly after it will return a different numbers of rows, even though you haven't changed anything. Some rows may be missing.
This is a known API issue that currently has no workaround. As soon as Microsoft fixes it on their Microsoft Graph API then it will automatically work on this Sync App too.

That being said, there is a configuration that you can apply on the Sync App to retrieve all messages, but it comes with a downfall: 'events' and 'contacts' data will be returned along with 'messages' data. So we guarantee no purity of information. You will have to rely on your own filtering to distinguish between message and non-message rows.

In order to activate the configuration simply add "ClientSidePaging=true;" (without quotation marks) in the value of Other connection property.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

Views

Views are composed of columns and pseudo columns. Views are similar to tables in the way that data is represented; however, views do not support updates. Entities that are represented as views are typically read-only entities. Often, a stored procedure is available to update the data if such functionality is applicable to the data source.

Queries can be executed against a view as if it were a normal table, and the data that comes back is similar in that regard.

Dynamic views, such as queries exposed as views, and views for looking up specific combinations of project_team work items are supported.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync Views

Name Description
CalendarView Retrieve the ccurrences, exceptions, and single instances of events in a calendar view defined by a time range, from the user's default calendar, or from some other calendar of the user's.
EventOccurrences Usage information for the operation EventOccurrences.rsd.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

CalendarView

Retrieve the ccurrences, exceptions, and single instances of events in a calendar view defined by a time range, from the user's default calendar, or from some other calendar of the user's.

Table Specific Information

Select

Get the occurrences, exceptions, and single instances of events in a calendar view defined by a time range, from the user's default calendar, or from some other calendar of the user's. By default only the event occurrences from the user's default calendar in the range of the last 30 days will be returned. You can filter results by CalendarId, UserId, Start_DateTime, End_DateTime.

For example the following queries will be processed server side:

SELECT * FROM CalendarView WHERE Start_DateTime >= '2019-12-10 15:00' AND End_DateTime <= '2020-01-10 14:30'

SELECT * FROM CalendarView WHERE CalendarId = 'AQMkAGRlMWQ5MDg0LWI5ZTQtNDk2Yi1hOTQ1LTU4YzFmMzEwZjlhMgBGAAAD-FjxR3cIwE6TEGSCVtIHcwcAQyR2Iw3coEOaUD1BLt0tnAAAAwcAAABDJHYjDdygQ5pQPUEu3S2cAAACC_IAAAA='

EventOccurrences

Usage information for the operation EventOccurrences.rsd.

Table Specific Information

Select

You can query EventOccurrences by specifying the Event Id, StartDatetime and EndDateTime. EventId is a required field, instead StartDatetime and EndDateTime have a default range of the last 30 days. If you query filtering only by EventId and the specific event does not exist within this time range, you will get empty results.

SELECT * FROM [EventOccurrences] WHERE id='event id' AND StartDateTime='2018/01/01' AND EndDateTime='2018/12/31'

By default, if StartDateTime and EndDateTime filters are not specified, only the event occurrences from the user's default calendar in the range of the last 30 days will be returned. Otherwise, the query will get the Occurrences of the Event during the period specified by StartDateTime and EndDateTime.

Azure Authentication

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


PropertyDescription
AzureTenantThe Microsoft Online tenant being used to access data. If not specified, your default tentant will be used.
AzureEnvironmentThe Azure Environment to use when establishing a connection.
Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

AzureTenant

The Microsoft Online tenant being used to access data. If not specified, your default tentant will be used.

Remarks

The Microsoft Online tenant being used to access data. For instance, contoso.onmicrosoft.com. Alternatively, specify the tenant Id. This value is the directory Id in the Azure Portal > Azure Active Directory > Properties.

Typically it is not necessary to specify the Tenant. This can be automatically determined by Microsoft when using the OAuthGrantType set to CODE (default). However, it may fail in the case that the user belongs to multiple tenants. For instance, if an Admin of domain A invites a user of domain B to be a guest user. The user will now belong to both tenants. It is a good practice to specify the Tenant, although in general things should normally work without having to specify it.

The AzureTenant is required when setting OAuthGrantType to CLIENT. When using client credentials, there is no user context. The credentials are taken from the context of the app itself. While Microsoft still allows client credentials to be obtained without specifying which Tenant, it has a much lower probability of picking the specific tenant you want to work with. For this reason, we require AzureTenant to be explicitly stated for all client credentials connections to ensure you get credentials that are applicable for the domain you intend to connect to.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

AzureEnvironment

ProxySSLType

The SSL type to use when connecting to the ProxyServer proxy.

Remarks

This property determines when to use SSL for the connection to an HTTP proxy specified by ProxyServer. This value can be AUTO, ALWAYS, NEVER, or TUNNEL. The applicable values are the following:

AUTODefault setting. If the URL is an HTTPS URL, the Sync App will use the TUNNEL option. If the URL is an HTTP URL, the component will use the NEVER option.
ALWAYSThe connection is always SSL enabled.
NEVERThe connection is not SSL enabled.
TUNNELThe connection is through a tunneling proxy. The proxy server opens a connection to the remote host and traffic flows back and forth through the proxy.

ProxyExceptions

A semicolon separated list of destination hostnames or IPs that are exempt from connecting through the ProxyServer .

Remarks

The ProxyServer is used for all addresses, except for addresses defined in this property. Use semicolons to separate entries.

Note that the Sync App uses the system proxy settings by default, without further configuration needed; if you want to explicitly configure proxy exceptions for this connection, you need to set ProxyAutoDetect = false, and configure ProxyServer and ProxyPort. To authenticate, set ProxyAuthScheme and set ProxyUser and ProxyPassword, if needed.

Schema

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


PropertyDescription
LocationA path to the directory that contains the schema files defining tables, views, and stored procedures.
BrowsableSchemasThis property restricts the schemas reported to a subset of the available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC.
TablesThis property restricts the tables reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC.
ViewsRestricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC.
Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

Location

A path to the directory that contains the schema files defining tables, views, and stored procedures.

Remarks

The path to a directory which contains the schema files for the Sync App (.rsd files for tables and views, .rsb files for stored procedures). The folder location can be a relative path from the location of the executable. The Location property is only needed if you want to customize definitions (for example, change a column name, ignore a column, and so on) or extend the data model with new tables, views, or stored procedures.

If left unspecified, the default location is "%APPDATA%\\CData\\Office365 Data Provider\\Schema" with %APPDATA% being set to the user's configuration directory:

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

BrowsableSchemas

This property restricts the schemas reported to a subset of the available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC.

Remarks

Listing the schemas from databases can be expensive. Providing a list of schemas in the connection string improves the performance.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

Tables

This property restricts the tables reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC.

Remarks

Listing the tables from some databases can be expensive. Providing a list of tables in the connection string improves the performance of the Sync App.

This property can also be used as an alternative to automatically listing views if you already know which ones you want to work with and there would otherwise be too many to work with.

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 that when connecting to a data source with multiple schemas or catalogs, you will need to provide the fully qualified name of the table in this property, as in the last example here, to avoid ambiguity between tables that exist in multiple catalogs or schemas.

Views

Restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC.

Remarks

Listing the views from some databases can be expensive. Providing a list of views in the connection string improves the performance of the Sync App.

This property can also be used as an alternative to automatically listing views if you already know which ones you want to work with and there would otherwise be too many to work with.

Miscellaneous

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


PropertyDescription
DirectoryRetrievalDepthSpecify how many folders deep you want to get results for Files table. The resources directly in the root are located at depth 0. The resources one folder deeper are located at depth 1 and so on. You can specify the value -1 to get all the data in a drive no matter the depth they're in.
MaxRowsLimits the number of rows returned rows when no aggregation or group by is used in the query. This helps avoid performance issues at design time.
OtherThese hidden properties are used only in specific use cases.
PagesizeThe maximum number of results to return per page from Microsoft Office 365.
PseudoColumnsThis property indicates whether or not to include pseudo columns as columns to the table.
TimeoutThe value in seconds until the timeout error is thrown, canceling the operation.
UseClientSidePagingWhether or not the CData ADO.NET Provider for Microsoft Office 365 should use client side paging.
UserDefinedViewsA filepath pointing to the JSON configuration file containing your custom views.

DirectoryRetrievalDepth

Specify how many folders deep you want to get results for Files table. The resources directly in the root are located at depth 0. The resources one folder deeper are located at depth 1 and so on. You can specify the value -1 to get all the data in a drive no matter the depth they're in.

Remarks

This property must be set in the connection string or the driver will use a default of DirectoryRetrievalDepth=5.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

MaxRows

Limits the number of rows returned rows when no aggregation or group by is used in the query. This helps avoid performance issues at design time.

Remarks

Limits the number of rows returned rows when no aggregation or group by is used in the query. This helps avoid performance issues at design time.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

Other

These hidden properties are used only in specific use cases.

Remarks

The properties listed below are available for specific use cases. Normal driver use cases and functionality should not require these properties.

Specify multiple properties in a semicolon-separated list.

Integration and Formatting

DefaultColumnSizeSets the default length of string fields when the data source does not provide column length in the metadata. The default value is 2000.
ConvertDateTimeToGMTDetermines whether to convert date-time values to GMT, instead of the local time of the machine.
RecordToFile=filenameRecords the underlying socket data transfer to the specified file.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

Pagesize

The maximum number of results to return per page from Microsoft Office 365.

Remarks

The Pagesize property affects the maximum number of results to return per page from Microsoft Office 365. Setting a higher value may result in better performance at the cost of additional memory allocated per page consumed.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

PseudoColumns

This property indicates whether or not to include pseudo columns as columns to the table.

Remarks

This setting is particularly helpful in Entity Framework, which does not allow you to set a value for a pseudo column unless it is a table column. The value of this connection setting is of the format "Table1=Column1, Table1=Column2, Table2=Column3". You can use the "*" character to include all tables and all columns; for example, "*=*".

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

Timeout

The value in seconds until the timeout error is thrown, canceling the operation.

Remarks

If Timeout = 0, operations do not time out. The operations run until they complete successfully or until they encounter an error condition.

If Timeout expires and the operation is not yet complete, the Sync App throws an exception.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

UseClientSidePaging

Whether or not the CData ADO.NET Provider for Microsoft Office 365 should use client side paging.

Remarks

Some sources do not support server side paging. In these cases, set UseClientSidePaging to true. Otherwise, leave it as false. Setting UseClientSidePaging to true on a source that already supports paging can cause incomplete results.

Microsoft Office 365 Connector for CData Sync

UserDefinedViews

A filepath pointing to the JSON configuration file containing your custom views.

Remarks

User Defined Views are defined in a JSON-formatted configuration file called UserDefinedViews.json. The Sync App automatically detects the views specified in this file.

You can also have multiple view definitions and control them using the UserDefinedViews connection property. When you use this property, only the specified views are seen by the Sync App.

This User Defined View configuration file is formatted as follows:

  • Each root element defines the name of a view.
  • Each root element contains a child element, called query, which contains the custom SQL query for the view.

For example:

{
	"MyView": {
		"query": "SELECT * FROM Events WHERE MyColumn = 'value'"
	},
	"MyView2": {
		"query": "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Id IN (1,2,3)"
	}
}
Use the UserDefinedViews connection property to specify the location of your JSON configuration file. For example:
"UserDefinedViews", "C:\\Users\\yourusername\\Desktop\\tmp\\UserDefinedViews.json"
