Getting Started

This page provides a guide to Establishing a Connection to Epicor Kinetic in CData Cloud, as well as information on the available resources, and a reference to the available connection properties.

Connecting to Epicor Kinetic

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to Epicor Kinetic and configure any necessary connection properties to create a database in CData Cloud

Accessing Data from CData Cloud Services

Accessing data from Epicor Kinetic through the available standard services and CData Cloud administration is documented in further details in the CData Cloud Documentation.

Establishing a Connection

Connect to Epicor Kinetic by selecting the corresponding icon in the Database tab. Required properties are listed under Settings. The Advanced tab lists connection properties that are not typically required.

Connecting to Epicor Kinetic

To successfully connect to your ERP instance, you must specify the following connection properties:

Url, set this to the url of the server hosting your ERP instance. For example, https://myserver.EpicorSaaS.com
ERPInstance, set this to the name of your ERP instance.
User, set this to the username of your account.
Password, set this to the password of your account.
Service, set this to the service you want to retrieve data from. For example, BaqSvc.

In addition, you may also set the optional connection properties:

ApiKey, An optional key that may be required for connection to some services depending on your account configuration.
ApiVersion, Defaults to v1. May be set to v2 to use the newer Epicor API.
Company, Required if you set the ApiVersion to v2.

Authenticating to Epicor Kinetic

OpenID with AzureAD

OpenID Connect with Azure AD is a connection type that goes through OAuth. Set the AuthScheme to AzureADOpenID. The following sections assume that you have done so.

SSL Configuration

Customizing the SSL Configuration

By default, the Cloud 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.

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.

Data Model

The CData Cloud models Epicor Kinetic objects as relational tables and views. A Epicor Kinetic object has relationships to other objects; in the tables, these relationships are expressed through foreign keys. The following sections show the available API objects and provide more information on executing SQL to Epicor Kinetic APIs.

Schemas for most database objects are defined in simple, text-based configuration files.

Views

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.

Stored Procedures

Stored procedures are function-like interfaces that extend the functionality of the Cloud beyond simple SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations with Epicor Kinetic.

Stored procedures accept a list of parameters, perform their intended function, and then return any relevant response data from Epicor Kinetic, along with an indication of whether the procedure succeeded or failed.

Azure Authentication

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

Property	Description
AzureTenant	The Microsoft Online tenant being used to access data. If not specified, your default tenant is used.

AzureTenant

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

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

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.
