Adding a Connection to Facebook Ads

To add a connection to Facebook Ads:

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

The following are optional connection properties:

• Target: Some Facebook tables can be filtered by a target. For example, to retrieve comments on a video, specify the Id of the video as the target. This property enables you to restrict the results of all queries in the connection to records that match the specified target. You can also specify this restriction per query with the Target column.
• AggregateFormat: The Sync App returns some columns as a string aggregate. For example, the available likes data for an entity is returned in aggregate. By default, the Sync App returns aggregate columns in JSON. You can also return aggregates in XML.
• RetryLevel: Use this property to control automatic query retry for specific ad insights queries and errors.

Authenticating to Facebook Ads

Facebook Ads uses the OAuth standard to authenticate users.

OAuth

In all OAuth flows, you must set AuthScheme to OAuth. The sections below assume that you have done so. [

Requesting Additional Permissions

You may find while using the Sync App that Facebook returns an error stating your app does not have permissions to do a certain action. To resolve this, you must generate a new OAuth access token with the required permissions. Set the Scope property in the authentication step. You can find a list of available Facebook permissions here:

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/permissions/

Note that in some cases, permissions restrictions might not be due to missing but requestable Facebook Ads OAuth permissions, but instead might be due to missing OAuth app features, like Page Public Content Access or Page Public Metadata Access. These features are tied to the OAuth app as a whole, and cannot be approved or denied for individual OAuth access tokens requested by users. Consider Creating a Custom OAuth App if you need access to app features not available with the embedded OAuth app.

AuthenticateAsPage Property

Use the AuthenticateAsPage connection property if you want to post as a single page. To query collections of pages, leave AuthenticateAsPage blank, in which case CData tools automatically detect which page tokens to use.

The following sections compare the two options.

Posting as a Page

After authenticating to Facebook Ads with your user account, you can post, etc. as one of the pages you manage: Set the AuthenticateAsPage property to the Id of the page you want. You can find the Ids for all pages your account has access to by querying the Pages view.

Automatic Page

Facebook Ads has made a number of recent changes that require page tokens for most resources owned by a page. This can be troublesome if you manage multiple pages and want to execute the same queries across all pages (such as retrieving Insights). In order to make this work seamlessly with our tools, we have added a way to automatically detect the page token to use. For this to work, simply do not specify the AuthenticateAsPage. Note that the correct page token can only be resolved if the page id is specified as part of the target in the request. This means for some requests you will still need to manually specify AuthenticateAsPage.

The ad data for Facebook Ads is represented and accessed through several views exposed by the Sync App. See Data Model for more details on these views. The way that Facebook Ads works means that there are a couple of general rules, presented below, for querying these views. For any view, its page in the Data Model section will also go over any special details related to querying it.

Specifying a Target

For many views related to ads, a target must be specified when querying them in order to identify the specific ad or account object for which data should be retrieved. For example, when querying the Ads view, the Target column must be specificed as a criteria pointing to a specific ad account:

SELECT * FROM Ads WHERE Target = 'act_123456'

A Target can also be specified dynamically in a query:

SELECT * FROM Ads WHERE Target IN (SELECT ID FROM AdAccounts)

If no Target is specified in a query, and the Target connection property is not set, the AccountID connection property will be used to determine the default target for ads queries. If none of these are set, the first account id returned from Facebook Ads will be used.

Insights Views

Analytics, peformance, and reporting data for ads is accessed through the AdInsights and AdInsightsActions views. Queries to these views will require a Target as covered in the previous section, but also support more detailed query syntax for their reporting functionality.

Time Ranges

When trying to pull ad reporting and analytics, use DateStart and DateEnd or DatePreset in your query to control the time range of ads data.

SELECT DateStart, DateEnd, AdAccountId, Spend, Impressions FROM AdInsights WHERE Target = 'act_123456' AND DateStart >= '01/01/2015' AND DateEnd <= '03/31/2015'

SELECT DateStart, DateEnd, AdAccountId, Spend, Impressions FROM AdInsights WHERE Target = 'act_123456' AND DatePreset='last_90d' AND TimeIncrement='monthly'

When specifying a time range for ads data, use TimeIncrement to control the time span of ad data summarized in each result row. For example, if TimeIncrement is set to "monthly", each result row will correspond to a monthly roll-up of ad data.

Ad levels

The Target specified for a query will control what ad account ad data is retrieved for. Use Level to control what level of ad object results are reported at. Level can be set to ad, adset, campaign, or account.

Breakdowns

Facebook Ads offers a number of breakdowns for querying your ad insights data. These breakdowns are exposed and can be used through the AdInsights and AdInsightsActions views, such that each row returned for a query will correspond to the reporting data for one combination of the breakdowns specified in the query. The aggregated data returned for a breakdown combo will still be limited by the ad object target and ad object level specified in the query.

Facebook Ads does enforce restrictions on what breakdowns can be selected together, so by default the Sync App also enforces similar restrictions on breakdowns in queries supplied to it. If desired, this internal enforcement can be disabled through the IgnoreValidationException property. Setting this property to "True" bypasses internal enforcement of breakdown restrictions, and passes any supplied breakdown combination as-is to Facebook.

Please see Data Model for more info on breakdown combos.

Action Collections

The AdInsightsActions view also offers an ActionCollection column, which allows you to specify what sort of actions attributed to your ads you would like to look at.

Action Attributions

The AdInsightsActions view also offers an ActionAttributionWindows column, which allows you to control how Facebook Ads attributes actions to your ad object when it generates its report. ActionAttributionWindows are specified from a list of combinations that define action and time period combinations. For example, the default value for ActionAttributionWindows is "7d_click,1d_view", meaning that relevent actions taken within 7 days of clicking on your ad object or 1 day of viewing it are attributed to and reported on for the ad object.

There are a number of ways that you can query Facebook Ads to get ad insights data, and the AdInsights and AdInsightsActions views facilitate all of these querying methods. For a simplified datamodel and querying experience, we also offer alternatives: you can use pre-built, simplified reports that correspond to queries that you would write for AdInsights or AdInsightsActions, or you can define your own ad insights report with the CreateAdInsightsReport stored procedure.

Using the Pre-Built Reports

The driver contains the following pre-built reports:

• AdInsights_ByActionReaction_90DayIncr
• AdInsights_ByAge_90DayIncr
• AdInsights_ByAgeAndGender_90DayIncr
• AdInsights_ByCarousel_90DayIncr
• AdInsights_ByCountry_90DayIncr
• AdInsights_ByDevicePlatform_90DayIncr
• AdInsights_ByDMA_90DayIncr
• AdInsights_ByGender_90DayIncr
• AdInsights_ByProductId_90DayIncr
• AdInsights_ByPublisherPlatform_90DayIncr
• AdInsights_ByRegion_90DayIncr
• AdInsights_ByVideoSound_90DayIncr
• AdInsights_ByVideoType_90DayIncr
• AdInsights_TargetedLevel_90DayIncr

Queries to these views are simpler than queries to AdInsights and AdInsightsActions in that these views already define the breakdowns and action collections to query. Queries to these views still require the specification of a Target ad object, however, and can also still use the Level and ActionAttributionWindows filters.

SELECT * FROM AdInsights_ByActionReaction_90DayIncr WHERE Target='act_12345' AND Level='adset'

The naming scheme for the views defines the breakdowns queried by the view, and the default time increment used by the view. The views will attempt to query ads data as far back in time as possible. The time span and time increment for the default views can be changed by query inputs.

Defining Custom Reports with CreateAdInsightsReport

If you routinely need to request fields that are not available on the pre-built reports that ship with the Sync App, or you want to create a simpler ad report for your users, you may want to define your own custom ads report so that you can more easily query for the data you need. The CreateAdInsightsReport stored procedure can be used for this purpose.

The stored procedure outputs schema files, depdending on the output options supplied. Set the Location connection property to the output path of the generated reports to expose them as queryable tables in the Sync App.

The example stored procedure call below creates a custom ad insights report with the specified fields, breakdowns, action breakdowns, and action collections:

EXEC CreateAdInsightsReport @ReportName = 'AdInsights_CreatedReport', @Fields = 'AccountCurrency,AdAccountId', @Breakdowns = 'Country', @ActionBreakdowns='ActionType,ActionDestination',@ActionCollection='Actions,UniqueActions', @OutputDirectory='LOCATION'"

In this example, the @OutputDirectory parameter is set to the location specified for the Location connection property.

Fine Tuning Data Access

You can use the following properties to gain greater control over Facebook Ads API features and the strategies the Sync App uses to surface them:

• AccountID: Set this to specify an ad account ID that will be used for the Target input for queries if none is specified. Both Target connection property and Target query input have precedence over this property.
• RetryLevel: Use this property to control query retry for certain types of ad insights queries and errors. Please see the pages for AdInsights and AdInsightsActions views in Data Model for more information.

This section details a selection of advanced features of the Facebook Ads 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 Facebook Ads 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.

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.

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.

The CData Sync App models Facebook Ads APIs as relational Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures. API limitations and requirements are documented in this section; you can use the SupportEnhancedSQL feature, set by default, to circumvent most of these limitations.

Views

Views describes the available views. Two types of views are made available:

• Base Views are statically defined to model Ad Accounts, Campaigns, Businesses, Lead Values, and more. They are used to create your custom reports instead of being used standalone. By default. these views return data from all time aggregated into a single row.
• Predefined Report Views are a set of standard reports that mimic exactly what you see in the Facebook UI. All Predefined Report Views have "report" appended to their name. By default, these views return data from all time with a daily breakdown.

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.

Date Ranges and Aggregation

All tables and views support date ranges and aggregation.

Date Ranges

Date ranges can be defined in the WHERE clause using the Date field using =, <,>, between delimiters.

Additional predefined date fields are available, specifically:

• week
• month
• quarter

When filtering on these, you can use the = operator with the date set to the first day of the time period. If you specify a different date, an error is returned.

For example, to specify the month of May in the year 2022, use the following condition, specifying the first day of that month:

month = '2022-05-01'

Aggregation

Aggregation can be applied at multiple levels:

“Date” returns daily data in the query results. For example,

SELECT ID, Target, Name, Status, "Date" FROM CData.FacebookAds.Campaigns WHERE "Date" BETWEEN '2022-01-01' and '2023-01-31' and Id = '15526475270_410830705612736_5193593'

“Hour” returns data aggregated by hour across the date range selected. For example, querying two years of data and selecting “Hour” returns 24 rows of data (one for each hour) with two years of data aggregated for each hour.

“DayofWeek” returns data aggregated by week across the date range selected. For example, querying two years of data and selecting “DayOfWeek” returns seven rows of data (one for each day) with two years of data aggregated for each day.

“Week” returns data aggregated by week across the date range selected. For example, querying two years of data and selecting “Week” returns 104 rows of data (one for each week) with data aggregated for each week.

“Month” returns data aggregated by month across the date range selected. For example, querying two years of data and selecting “Month” returns 24 rows of data (one for each month) with data aggregated for each month.

“MonthofYear” returns data aggregated by month across the date range selected. For example, querying two years of data and selecting “MonthofYear” returns 12 rows of data (one for each month) with two years of data aggregated for each month.

“Quarter” returns data aggregated by quarter across the date range selected. For example. querying two years of data and selecting “Quarter” return eight rows of data (one for each quarter). Note that a Quarter is defined as starting on the 1st of the month of January, April, July, and October.

“Year” returns data aggregated by year across the date range selected. For example, querying two years of data and selecting “Year” returns two rows of data (one for each year) with data aggregated by year.

NOTE: Selecting "Date" overrides any other date metric. It always returns daily data only.

Views are similar to tables in the way that data is represented; however, views are read-only.

Queries can be executed against a view as if it were a normal table.

Queries an Ad Report. Accessing Ad Report information requires the ads_read permission.

Table Specific Information

AdInsights in Facebook can be requested with a great amount of detail to simulate the same sort of information that can be retrieved in a report.

Select

When requesting AdInsights, a Target must be specified. This indicates what element to retrieve the insights from. It can be an AdAccount, Campaign, AdSet, or an Ad. For instance:

SELECT * FROM AdInsights WHERE Target = 'act_123456'

A date range can be specified using DateStart and DateEnd, or DatePreset must also be specified. For instance:

SELECT DateStart, DateEnd, AdAccountId, Spend, Impressions FROM AdInsights WHERE Target = 'act_123456' AND DateStart >= '01/01/2015' AND DateEnd <= '03/31/2015'

SELECT DateStart, DateEnd, AdAccountId, Spend, Impressions FROM AdInsights WHERE Target = 'act_123456' AND DatePreset = 'last_90d'

The available values for DatePreset are:

• maximum
• today
• yesterday
• this_week_sun_today
• this_week_mon_today
• last_week_sun_sat
• last_week_mon_sun
• last_3d
• last_7d
• last_14d
• last_28d
• last_30d
• last_90d
• this_month
• last_month

The TimeIncrement can used to specify how many days should be included in each report row. For instance:

SELECT DateStart, DateEnd, AdAccountId, Age, Spend, Impressions FROM AdInsights WHERE Target = 'act_123456' AND DatePreset = 'last_90d' AND TimeIncrement = '7'

SELECT DateStart, DateEnd, AdAccountId, Age, Spend, Impressions FROM AdInsights WHERE Target = 'act_123456' AND DatePreset = 'last_90d' AND TimeIncrement = 'monthly'

The Level column can be used to specify what level insights are retrieved at. This can be set to ad,adset,campaign, or account. For instance:

SELECT DateStart, DateEnd, AdAccountId, Age, Spend, Impressions FROM AdInsights WHERE Target = 'act_123456' AND Level = 'campaign'

There are a number of breakdown columns. In general, only one breakdown column can be selected at a time. If you use SELECT *, no breakdown columns will be used. The available breakdown columns are:

• Age: Can also be selected with Gender
• Country
• FrequencyValue
• Gender: Can also be selected with Age
• HStatsByAdvertiserTZ (Hourly Stats by Advertizer Timezone)
• HStatsByAudienceTZ (Hourly Stats by Audience Timezone)
• ImpressionDevice: Can also be selected with PublisherPlatform or both PublisherPlatform and PlatformPosition.
• PlatformPosition: Must be selected with PublisherPlatform. Can also be selected with ImpressionDevice.
• PublisherPlatform: Can be selected with PlatformPosition, ImpressionDevice, or both PlatformPosition and ImpressionDevice.
• ProductId
• Region

Most other columns not already mentioned can be used with standard SQL WHERE clause modifiers. For instance:

SELECT DateStart, DateEnd, AdAccountId, Spend, Impressions FROM AdInsights WHERE Target = 'act_123456' WHERE Impressions > 10000 AND Spend < 1000

Both the DatePreset and the breakdowns are subject to frequent changes by Facebook. The lists above may be outdated due to Facebook changes. To see the most currently available breakdowns and date presets, see the documentation on Facebook for parameters and breakdowns: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/insights/.

Note that Facebook Ads does enforce restrictions on what breakdowns can be selected together, so by default the Sync App also enforces similar restrictions on breakdowns in queries supplied to it. If desired, this internal enforcement can be disabled through the IgnoreValidationException property. Setting this property to "True" bypasses internal enforcement of breakdown restrictions, and passes any supplied breakdown combination as-is to Facebook.

Note: The following error message may be encountered when querying from this table: "Please reduce the amount of data you're asking for, then retry your request".

This error typically occurs when the driver requests an amount of data that Facebook cannot handle the calculations for on its end. It appears to be triggered based on individually dense fields, and not the page size.

If the Sync App encounters this error when first executing certain types of queries, the driver will attempt to retry the query at a lower level of ad object, if possible. To retry, the driver will execute the query at the next lowest level of ad object, down to the level defined in RetryLevel. Note that if the Level parameter is specified in a query, the driver will not attempt to retry beyond the ad object level specified by Level. Please see RetryLevel for more details. Additionally, spreading queries across more granular ad objects can decrease query performance by increasing the number of requests executed for the query.

If this error is still encountered, either reduce the date range of the query or remove expensive columns.

A good method for finding and removing expensive columns is to use a binary search by removing half of the columns you are selecting and retrying the query. Then retry again with half of the remaining columns if you get the same error, or half of the removed columns if you got no error.

Type	Default Port	Description
TUNNEL	80	When this is set, the Sync App opens a connection to Facebook Ads and traffic flows back and forth through the proxy.
SOCKS4	1080	When this is set, the Sync App sends data through the SOCKS 4 proxy specified by FirewallServer and FirewallPort and passes the FirewallUser value to the proxy, which determines if the connection request should be granted.
SOCKS5	1080	When this is set, the Sync App sends data through the SOCKS 5 proxy specified by FirewallServer and FirewallPort. If your 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.

The name or IP address of a proxy-based firewall.

Remarks

This property specifies the IP address, DNS name, or host name of a proxy allowing traversal of a firewall. The protocol is specified by FirewallType: Use FirewallServer with this property to connect through SOCKS or do tunneling. Use ProxyServer to connect to an HTTP proxy.

Note that the Sync App uses the system proxy by default. To use a different proxy, set ProxyAutoDetect to false.

---

Property	Description
ProxyAutoDetect	This indicates whether to use the system proxy settings or not.
ProxyServer	The hostname or IP address of a proxy to route HTTP traffic through.
ProxyPort	The TCP port the ProxyServer proxy is running on.
ProxyAuthScheme	The authentication type to use to authenticate to the ProxyServer proxy.
ProxyUser	A user name to be used to authenticate to the ProxyServer proxy.
ProxyPassword	A password to be used to authenticate to the ProxyServer proxy.
ProxySSLType	The SSL type to use when connecting to the ProxyServer proxy.
ProxyExceptions	A semicolon separated list of destination hostnames or IPs that are exempt from connecting through the ProxyServer .

This indicates whether to use the system proxy settings or not.

Remarks

This takes precedence over other proxy settings, so you'll need to set ProxyAutoDetect to FALSE in order use custom proxy settings.

To connect to an HTTP proxy, see ProxyServer. For other proxies, such as SOCKS or tunneling, see FirewallType.

The hostname or IP address of a proxy to route HTTP traffic through.

Remarks

The hostname or IP address of a proxy to route HTTP traffic through. The Sync App can use the HTTP, Windows (NTLM), or Kerberos authentication types to authenticate to an HTTP proxy.

If you need to connect through a SOCKS proxy or tunnel the connection, see FirewallType.

By default, the Sync App uses the system proxy. If you need to use another proxy, set ProxyAutoDetect to false.

The TCP port the ProxyServer proxy is running on.

Remarks

The port the HTTP proxy is running on that you want to redirect HTTP traffic through. Specify the HTTP proxy in ProxyServer. For other proxy types, see FirewallType.

The authentication type to use to authenticate to the ProxyServer proxy.

Remarks

This value specifies the authentication type to use to authenticate to the HTTP proxy specified by ProxyServer and ProxyPort.

Note that the Sync App will use the system proxy settings by default, without further configuration needed; if you want to connect to another proxy, you will need to set ProxyAutoDetect to false, in addition to ProxyServer and ProxyPort. To authenticate, set ProxyAuthScheme and set ProxyUser and ProxyPassword, if needed.

The authentication type can be one of the following:

• BASIC: The Sync App performs HTTP BASIC authentication.
• DIGEST: The Sync App performs HTTP DIGEST authentication.
• NEGOTIATE: The Sync App retrieves an NTLM or Kerberos token based on the applicable protocol for authentication.
• PROPRIETARY: The Sync App does not generate an NTLM or Kerberos token. You must supply this token in the Authorization header of the HTTP request.

If you need to use another authentication type, such as SOCKS 5 authentication, see FirewallType.

A user name to be used to authenticate to the ProxyServer proxy.

Remarks

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

You can select one of the available authentication types in ProxyAuthScheme. If you are using HTTP authentication, set this to the user name of a user recognized by the HTTP proxy. If you are using Windows or Kerberos authentication, set this property to a user name in one of the following formats:

user@domain
domain\user

A password to be used to authenticate to the ProxyServer proxy.

Remarks

This property is used to authenticate to an HTTP proxy server that supports NTLM (Windows), Kerberos, or HTTP authentication. To specify the HTTP proxy, you can set ProxyServer and ProxyPort. To specify the authentication type, set ProxyAuthScheme.

If you are using HTTP authentication, additionally set ProxyUser and ProxyPassword to HTTP proxy.

If you are using NTLM authentication, set ProxyUser and ProxyPassword to your Windows password. You may also need these to complete Kerberos authentication.

For SOCKS 5 authentication or tunneling, see FirewallType.

By default, the Sync App uses the system proxy. If you want to connect to another proxy, set ProxyAutoDetect to false.

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:

AUTO	Default 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.
ALWAYS	The connection is always SSL enabled.
NEVER	The connection is not SSL enabled.
TUNNEL	The 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.

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.

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

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\\FacebookAds Data Provider\\Schema" with %APPDATA% being set to the user's configuration directory:

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

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

Remarks

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.

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.

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`.

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

---

Property	Description
AggregateFormat	The format aggregate or collection columns should return in.
IgnoreValidationException	Ignore internal validation exception when breakdown combination is not valid.
MaxRows	Limits the number of rows returned when no aggregation or GROUP BY is used in the query. This takes precedence over LIMIT clauses.
Other	These hidden properties are used only in specific use cases.
Pagesize	The maximum number of results to return per page from Facebook Ads.
PseudoColumns	This property indicates whether or not to include pseudo columns as columns to the table.
RetryLevel	The most granular ad object level at which the driver will try to retrieve results on retry.
Target	A default target if none is specified. Used for some tables, such as Comments, where a target may be specified.
TimeIncrement	The time increment used for ad and other ad object insights reporting.
Timeout	The value in seconds until the timeout error is thrown, canceling the operation.
UploadLinkedMedia	Upload linked photos or videos before inserting a new Post.
UserDefinedViews	A filepath pointing to the JSON configuration file containing your custom views.

The format aggregate or collection columns should return in.

Remarks

The format aggregate or collection columns should return in.

Ignore internal validation exception when breakdown combination is not valid.

Remarks

When set to "True", the supplied breakdown combination for an insights query will be passed directly to Facebook, without any internal attempts at validation by the Sync App. If the supplied combination is invalid, the error message from Facebook Ads will be returned directly to the user. Refer to Facebook documentation on breadown combinations for information on valid combinations.

Limits the number of rows returned when no aggregation or GROUP BY is used in the query. This takes precedence over LIMIT clauses.

Remarks

Limits the number of rows returned when no aggregation or GROUP BY is used in the query. This takes precedence over LIMIT clauses.

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

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

The maximum number of results to return per page from Facebook Ads.

Remarks

The Pagesize property affects the maximum number of results to return per page from Facebook Ads. Sometimes you may get an error asking you to request less data. The frequency of such errors can be reduced by reducing the pagesize. The maximum pagesize tends to be about 100 per page.

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, "*=*".

The most granular ad object level at which the driver will try to retrieve results on retry.

Remarks

This property only applies if no Target is specified for the submitted query. The RetryLevel property limits the levels of ad objects that the driver will attempt to get data for on retry requests for certain errors. The Insights API for ad insights will return specific errors if the response for an ad insights query from the driver would return too many rows, or have to be computed over too many data points. For these errors, the driver will attempt to retry the query targeting the next most granular level of ad object, up to the level of ad object specified by RetryLevel. The driver's ad object precedence is listed below, from least granular to most granular:

1. Account
2. Campaign
3. AdSet
4. Ad

If the Level parameter is specified in a query, or if using a view that has a pre-defined value for Level, the driver will not attempt to retry beyond the ad object level specified by Level.

A default target if none is specified. Used for some tables, such as Comments, where a target may be specified.

Remarks

A default target if none is specified. Used for some tables, such as Comments, where a target may be specified.

The time increment used for ad and other ad object insights reporting.

Remarks

This property controls the time increment for insights reporting, which is the increment of time covered by each row in the insights result set. Valid specifications for the property are as follows:

1. monthly
2. all_days
3. Any integer between 1 and 90 inclusive.

Integer values correspond to the number of days for the increment.

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.

Upload linked photos or videos before inserting a new Post.

Remarks

The UploadLinkedMedia determines whether to upload media before inserting a Post. If set to True, when you attempt to insert a new Post with the Link column, the driver will first attempt to resolve the URL and determine if the URL is referencing a photo or a video. If so, the photo or video will be uploaded first, then a new Post containing the media will be created. If False, then the new Post will be created as a Link Post.

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 AdAccounts 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

Note that the specified path is not embedded in quotation marks.
