Avalara Connector for CData Sync

Overview

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

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

Avalara Version Support

The Sync App leverages the Avalara Avatax API to enable bidirectional access to Avalara.

Avalara Connector for CData Sync

Establishing a Connection

Adding a Connection to Avalara

To add a connection to Avalara:

  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 Avalara icon is not available, click the Add More icon to download and install the Avalara 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 Avalara

By default, the Sync App connects to a production environment. Set UseSandbox to true to configure the Sync App to connect to a Avalara sandbox environment.

Authenticating to Avalara

There are two authentication methods available for connecting to the Avalara data source: Basic and LicenseKey.

Login Credentials

To use login credentials for authentication, set the following:

  • AuthScheme: Set this to Basic.
  • User: Set this to your Avalara username.
  • Password: Set this to your Avalara password.

Account Number and License Key

Alternatively, you can authenticate using your account number and license key. Connect to the data source using the following:

  • AuthScheme: Set this to LicenseKey.
  • AccountId: Set this to your Avalara Account Id. The Account Id is listed in the upper right-hand corner of the Avalara admin console.
  • LicenseKey: Set this to your Avalara license key. You can generate a license key by logging into Avalara as an account adminstrator and navigating to Settings > Reset License Key.

Advanced Features

This section details a selection of advanced features of the Avalara 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 Avalara 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.

Avalara 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.

Avalara 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.

Transactions

Transactions table for AvalaraAvatax data provider.

Select

The Sync App will use the Avalara API to process WHERE clause conditions built with the following columns and operators. Most of the columns support server side filtering with the following operators: =,>,<,<=,>=,IN,NOT,IN,AND,OR,LIKE. The rest of the filter is executed client side within the Sync App. By default the Adjusted transactions will not be listed. If you want to include them, you need to set IncludeAdjustedTransactions to true. For example, the following query is processed server side:

SELECT * FROM Transactions WHERE AdjustmentReason = 'PriceAdjusted'
SELECT * FROM Items WHERE Status = 'Cancelled'

Insert

To add a new Transaction item, the following columns need to be specified: CustomerCode, Date, Type, LinkedLines, Code, LinkedAddresses. If you want to commit the transaction, set the Commit flag in the request to true. The linked columns can be inserted using a #TEMP table or by passing the aggregate value.

The LinkedAddresses aggregate must include information about the origin and destination address. If this transaction occurred at a retail point-of-sale location, provide that single address here and leave all other address types null. If origin differs from destination, insert both ShipFrom and ShipTo address types. If you wish to use the address of an existing location for the actual company, specify the address in the addressType_locationCode field.

The examples below illustrate the aforementioned scenarios.

Inserting LinkedAddresses aggregate through #TEMP table with SingleLocation:

INSERT INTO Addresses#TEMP (SingleLocation_line1, SingleLocation_City, SingleLocation_County, SingleLocation_PostalCode) VALUES ('2000 Main Street', 'Irvine', 'US', '92614')")
INSERT INTO Addresses#TEMP (SingleLocation_locationCode) VALUES ('LC001')")

Inserting LinkedAddresses aggregate through #TEMP table with ShipFrom and ShipTo locations:

INSERT INTO Addresses#TEMP (shipTo_line1, shipTo_City, shipTo_County, shipTo_PostalCode, shipFrom_line1, shipFrom_City, shipFrom_Country, shipFrom_PostalCode) VALUES ('2000 Main Street', 'Irvine', 'US', '92614', '', '', 'US', '')")
INSERT INTO Addresses#TEMP (shipTo_locationCode, shipFrom_locationCode) VALUES ('LC001', 'LC002')")

Insert line items aggregate using #TEMP table. For a list of the columns you can insert into the temporary table, refer to TransactionLines table.

INSERT INTO TransactionLines#TEMP (ItemCode, Quantity, LineAmount) VALUES ('IC005', 3, 300)")

Insert into the main Transactions table :

INSERT INTO Transactions (LinkedLines, LinkedAddresses, Code, CompanyId, CustomerCode, Date, Type, Commit, TotalTax) VALUES (TransactionLines#TEMP, Addresses#TEMP, DC008, 247015, 'CC002', '09/30/2019', 'SalesInvoice', true, 12.0)")

Update

Avalara allows updates on Transactions. To update a transaction, AdjustmentReason and Adjustment description are required fields. Additionally, you need to specify the Code of the transaction you are updating in the WHERE clause.

Similarly, to Insert, you can update line items using temporary tables. To update an existing line, include the LineNumber of the line you wish to update. To insert a new line in the transaction, set the LineNumber to a new, non-existing value.

When a transaction is updated, the actual transaction's status changes to Adjusted and a new transaction with the updated information is created. The new transaction will have the same document code, but a different id and status: Saved or Commited. If you wish to commit the new updated transaction, set the Commit flag in the request to true.

INSERT INTO TransactionLines#TEMP (ItemCode, Quantity, LineAmount, LineNumber) VALUES (IC007, 3, 300, 3)

Avalara 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 Avalara. Traffic flows back and forth via the proxy at this location.
SOCKS4 1080 The port where the Sync App opens a connection to Avalara. 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 Avalara. 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.

NTLM The username of a Windows user who is a valid user in the domain or trusted domain that the proxy server is part of, in the format user@domain or domain\user.
NONE Do not set the ProxyPassword connection property.

The Sync App only uses this username if ProxyAutoDetect is set to False. If ProxyAutoDetect is set to True, which is the default, the Sync App instead uses the username specified in your system proxy settings.

ProxyPassword

The password associated with the user specified in the ProxyUser connection property.

Remarks

The ProxyUser and ProxyPassword connection properties are used to connect and authenticate against the HTTP proxy specified in ProxyServer.

After selecting one of the available authentication types in ProxyAuthScheme, set this property as follows:

ProxyAuthScheme Value Value to set for ProxyPassword
BASIC The password associated with the proxy server user specified in ProxyUser.
DIGEST The password associated with the proxy server user specified in ProxyUser.
NEGOTIATE The password associated with the Windows user account specified in ProxyUser.
NTLM The password associated with the Windows user account specified in ProxyUser.
NONE Do not set the ProxyPassword connection property.

For SOCKS 5 authentication or tunneling, see FirewallType.

The Sync App only uses this password if ProxyAutoDetect is set to False. If ProxyAutoDetect is set to True, which is the default, the Sync App instead uses the password specified in your system proxy settings.

ProxySSLType

The SSL type to use when connecting to the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property.

Remarks

This property determines when to use SSL for the connection to the HTTP proxy specified by ProxyServer. You can set this connection property to the following values :

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

Avalara Connector for CData Sync

ProxyExceptions

A semicolon separated list of destination hostnames or IPs that are exempt from connecting through the proxy server set in the ProxyServer connection property.

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, set ProxyAutoDetect to False.

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.
Avalara 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

This property lets you customize the log file content by specifying the logging modules to include. Logging modules categorize logged information into distinct areas, such as query execution, metadata, or SSL communication. Each module is represented by a four-character code, with some requiring a trailing space for three-letter names.

For example, EXEC logs query execution, and INFO logs general provider messages. To include multiple modules, separate their names with semicolons as follows: INFO;EXEC;SSL.

The Verbosity connection property takes precedence over the module-based filtering specified by this property. Only log entries that meet the verbosity level and belong to the specified modules are logged. Leave this property blank to include all available modules in the log file.

For a complete list of available modules and detailed guidance on configuring logging, refer to the Advanced Logging section in Logging.

Schema

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


PropertyDescription
LocationSpecifies the location of a directory containing schema files that define tables, views, and stored procedures. Depending on your service's requirements, this may be expressed as either an absolute path or a relative path.
BrowsableSchemasOptional setting that restricts the schemas reported to a subset of all available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC .
TablesOptional setting that restricts the tables reported to a subset of all available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC .
ViewsOptional setting that restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC .
Avalara Connector for CData Sync

Location

Specifies the location of a directory containing schema files that define tables, views, and stored procedures. Depending on your service's requirements, this may be expressed as either an absolute path or a relative path.

Remarks

The Location property is only needed if you want to either customize definitions (for example, change a column name, ignore a column, etc.) or extend the data model with new tables, views, or stored procedures.

If left unspecified, the default location is %APPDATA%\\CData\\Avalara Data Provider\\Schema, where %APPDATA% is set to the user's configuration directory:

Platform %APPDATA%
Windows The value of the APPDATA environment variable
Linux ~/.config

Avalara Connector for CData Sync

BrowsableSchemas

Optional setting that restricts the schemas reported to a subset of all available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC .

Remarks

Listing all available database schemas can take extra time, thus degrading performance. Providing a list of schemas in the connection string saves time and improves performance.

Avalara Connector for CData Sync

Tables

Optional setting that restricts the tables reported to a subset of all available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC .

Remarks

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.

Avalara Connector for CData Sync

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.

Miscellaneous

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


PropertyDescription
GenerateSchemaFilesIndicates the user preference as to when schemas should be generated and saved.
IncludeAdjustedTransactionsWhether or not to include adjusted transactions in the transaction listing.
MaxRowsSpecifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY.
OtherSpecifies additional hidden properties for specific use cases. These are not required for typical provider functionality. Use a semicolon-separated list to define multiple properties.
PagesizeThe maximum number of results to return per page from Avalara when using client paging.
PseudoColumnsSpecifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns. Use the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. The default is an empty string, which disables this property.
TimeoutSpecifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. The default is 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable the timeout.
UserDefinedViewsSpecifies a filepath to a JSON configuration file defining custom views. The provider automatically detects and uses the views specified in this file.
Avalara Connector for CData Sync

GenerateSchemaFiles

Indicates the user preference as to when schemas should be generated and saved.

Remarks

This property outputs schemas to .rsd files in the path specified by Location.

Available settings are the following:

  • Never: A schema file will never be generated.
  • OnUse: A schema file will be generated the first time a table is referenced, provided the schema file for the table does not already exist.
  • OnStart: A schema file will be generated at connection time for any tables that do not currently have a schema file.
  • OnCreate: A schema file will be generated by when running a CREATE TABLE SQL query.
Note that if you want to regenerate a file, you will first need to delete it.

Generate Schemas with SQL

When you set GenerateSchemaFiles to OnUse, the Sync App generates schemas as you execute SELECT queries. Schemas are generated for each table referenced in the query.

When you set GenerateSchemaFiles to OnCreate, schemas are only generated when a CREATE TABLE query is executed.

Generate Schemas on Connection

Another way to use this property is to obtain schemas for every table in your database when you connect. To do so, set GenerateSchemaFiles to OnStart and connect.

Avalara Connector for CData Sync

IncludeAdjustedTransactions

Whether or not to include adjusted transactions in the transaction listing.

Remarks

Whether or not to include adjusted transactions in the transaction listing.

Avalara Connector for CData Sync

MaxRows

Specifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY.

Remarks

This property sets an upper limit on the number of rows the Sync App returns for queries that do not include aggregation or GROUP BY clauses. This limit ensures that queries do not return excessively large result sets by default.

When a query includes a LIMIT clause, the value specified in the query takes precedence over the MaxRows setting. If MaxRows is set to "-1", no row limit is enforced unless a LIMIT clause is explicitly included in the query.

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

Avalara Connector for CData Sync

Other

Specifies additional hidden properties for specific use cases. These are not required for typical provider functionality. Use a semicolon-separated list to define multiple properties.

Remarks

This property allows advanced users to configure hidden properties for specialized scenarios. These settings are not required for normal use cases but can address unique requirements or provide additional functionality. Multiple properties can be defined in 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.

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.

Avalara Connector for CData Sync

Pagesize

The maximum number of results to return per page from Avalara when using client paging.

Remarks

The Pagesize property affects the maximum number of results to return per page from Avalara when using client paging. A higher value will return more results per page, but may also cause a timeout exception. If you must use client paging on your server and have a fast server, setting a higher Pagesize may be desirable. We recommend testing various sizes against a large resultset to determine what works best in your use case.

Avalara Connector for CData Sync

PseudoColumns

Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns. Use the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. The default is an empty string, which disables this property.

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: "*=*"

Avalara Connector for CData Sync

Timeout

Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. The default is 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable the timeout.

Remarks

This property controls the maximum time, in seconds, that the Sync App waits for an operation to complete before canceling it. If the timeout period expires before the operation finishes, the Sync App cancels the operation and throws an exception.

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.

Setting this property to 0 disables the timeout, allowing 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. Use this property cautiously to avoid long-running operations that could degrade performance or result in unresponsive behavior.

Avalara Connector for CData Sync

UserDefinedViews

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

Remarks

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

You can define multiple views in a single file and specify the filepath using this property. For example: UserDefinedViews=C:\Path\To\UserDefinedViews.json. When you use this property, only the specified views are seen by the Sync App.

Refer to User Defined Views for more information.
