Asana Connector for CData Sync

Overview

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

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

Asana Version Support

The Sync App leverages the Asana API to enable bidirectional access to Asana work management entities.

Asana Connector for CData Sync

Establishing a Connection

Adding a Connection to Asana

To add a connection to Asana:

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

You can optionally set the following to refine the data returned from Asana.

  • WorkspaceId: The globally unique identifier (gid) associated with your Asana Workspace to only return projects from the specified Workspace. To get your Workspace Id, navigate to https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/workspaces while logged into Asana. This displays a JSON object containing your Workspace name and Id.
  • ProjectId: The globally unique identifier (gid) associated with your Asana Project to only return data mapped under the specified Project. Project Ids can be found in the URL of your project's Overview page. This will be the numbers directly after /0/.

Authenticating to Asana

Asana uses the OAuth or OAuthPKCE authentication standard.

User Accounts (OAuth)

AuthScheme must be set to OAuth in all user account flows.

OAuth PKCE

Set AuthScheme to OAuthPKCE.

Service Accounts

To authenticate with a Server Account (Enterprise only), use a Personal Access Token by setting these connection properties:

  • InitiateOAuth: OFF.
  • OAuthAccessToken: Your access token value.

For more more information, see the Asana documentation for personal access tokens and service accounts.

OAuth Scopes and Endpoints

Required Scopes and Endpoint Domains for Asana

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

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

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

Understanding Scopes

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

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

Required Scopes for Asana

Scope Description
default Asana does not provide the ability to limit read-only access. This is the default scope and the only scope available.

Understanding Endpoint Domains

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

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

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

Required Endpoint Domains for Asana

Domain Always Required Description
app.asana.com TRUE The domain of your Asana instance.

Asana Connector for CData Sync

Advanced Features

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

Asana 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.

Asana 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.

Asana Connector for CData Sync

Data Model

Overview

This section shows the available API objects and provides more information on executing SQL to Asana APIs.

Key Features

  • The Sync App models Asana entities as relational views, allowing you to write SQL to query Asana data.
  • Stored procedures allow you to execute operations to Asana, including retrieving the access token and keeping it refreshed in OAuth 2.0.
  • Live connectivity to these objects means any changes to your Asana account are immediately reflected when using the Sync App.
  • IncludeCustomFields connection property allows you to retrieve custom fields for Tasks view. Set this property to True, to enable this feature.

Views

Views describes the available views. Views are statically defined to model Projects, Users, Workspaces, and more.

Stored Procedures

Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to Asana. Stored procedures allow you to execute operations to Asana, including downloading documents and moving envelopes.

Asana Connector for CData Sync

Asana Connector for CData Sync

SubTasks

To Create, update, delete, and query from SubTasks table.

Table Specific Information

Select

The Sync App will use the Asana API to process WHERE clause conditions built with the following column and operator. The rest of the filter is executed client side within the Sync App.

  • ParentTaskId supports the '=' comparison.

For example, the following query is processed on server side and it is a required filter:

SELECT * FROM SubTasks WHERE ParentTaskId = '1127092449876457'

A simple SELECT query will only return the first level of subtasks.

SELECT * FROM SubTasks

There may be up to five levels of subtasks below a task. (Note, Asana does not recommend using sub-subtasks). If additional levels of subtasks are needed, a subquery can be used:

SELECT * FROM SubTasks WHERE ParentTaskId IN (SELECT Id FROM SubTasks)

When executing a query without a ParentTaskId filter, due to the Asana API design, subtasks are only retrieved on a per task basis. The Sync App will first query the workspace to retrieve a list of projects. A separate request will then be made for each project to retrieve all the applicable tasks. Another request will be made for each task to retrieve any subtasks associated with the task. In theory, this is similar to executing the following query:

SELECT * FROM SubTasks WHERE ParentTaskId IN (SELECT Id FROM Tasks WHERE ProjectId IN (SELECT Id FROM Projects))
Due to the number of required requests, performance may be impacted.

Insert

ParentTaskId is a mandatory column for inserting into Projects table. For example:

INSERT INTO SubTasks (ParentTaskId, Name, Assignee, AssigneeStatus, startOn, DueOn, Completed, ProjectId, Notes, ApprovalStatus, Followers) VALUES ('1167713816822372', 'subtask1', '1167715005778471', 'later', '2020-03-25', '2020-04-01', false, 1167713816822364, 'SubTask Notes', 'changes_requested', '1167715005778471')

Inserting multiple Followers into SubTasks table. For example:

INSERT INTO SubTasks (ParentTaskId, Followers) VALUES ('1167713816822372', '1206414724399714,1207035318501516' )

Asana Connector for CData Sync

Tasks

To Create, Update, Delete and Query from Tasks table.

Table Specific Information

Select

The Sync App will use the Asana API to process WHERE clause conditions built with the following column and operator. The rest of the filter is executed client side within the Sync App.

  • Id supports the '=' comparison.
  • ProjectId supports the '=' comparison.
  • Assignee supports the '=' comparison. Note : Assignee should always be provided with WorkspaceId, either in query or in connection string.
  • TagId supports the '=' comparison.
  • SectionId supports the '=' comparison.
  • UserTaskListId supports the '=' comparison.
  • ModifiedAt supports the '>, >=' comparison.
  • CompletedAt supports the '>, >=' comparison.

For example, the following queries are processed server side:

SELECT * FROM Tasks WHERE Id = '1127092449876457'

SELECT * FROM Tasks WHERE ProjectId = '1128092964672848'

SELECT * FROM Tasks WHERE Assignee = '1126938691750986' AND WorkspaceId = '1126938837961830'

SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE TagId = '1129517083601713'

SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE SectionId = '1127092449876457'

SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE UserTaskListId = '1126938837961837'

SELECT * FROM Tasks WHERE ProjectId = '1200222223676674' AND ModifiedAt > '2024-10-09 02:43:21.933'

SELECT * FROM Tasks WHERE ProjectId = '1200222223676674' AND CompletedAt > '2024-10-31 17:10:28.268'

When executing a query without one of the above filters, due to the Asana API design, tasks must be retrieved per project. The Sync App will first query the workspace to retrieve a list of projects. A separate request will then be made for each project to retrieve all the applicable tasks. In theory, this is similar to executing the following query:

SELECT * FROM Tasks WHERE ProjectId IN (SELECT Id FROM Projects)
Note : ModifiedAt and CompletedAt filters could be passed without ProjectId also. For example:
SELECT * FROM Tasks WHERE ModifiedAt > '2024-10-09 02:43:21.933'

SELECT * FROM Tasks WHERE CompletedAt > '2024-10-31 17:10:28.268'
Due to the number of required requests, performance may be impacted. Note, tasks may also be orphaned and not belong to a project. The Sync App will not be able to retrieve orphaned tasks.

Insert

ProjectId is a mandatory column for inserting into Tasks table. For example:

INSERT INTO Tasks (Name, Assignee, AssigneeStatus, startOn, DueOn, Completed, ProjectId, Notes, ApprovalStatus, Followers) VALUES ('Task1', '1167715005778471', 'later', '2020-03-25', '2020-04-01', false, 1167713816822364, 'TaskNotes', 'changes_requested', '1167715005778471')

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

The TCP port on your specified proxy server (set in the ProxyServer connection property) that has been reserved for routing HTTP traffic to and from the client.

Remarks

The Sync App only routes HTTP traffic through the proxy server port specified in this connection property when ProxyAutoDetect is set to False. If ProxyAutoDetect is set to True, which is the default, the Sync App instead routes HTTP traffic through the proxy server port specified in your system proxy settings.

For other proxy types, see FirewallType.

Asana Connector for CData Sync

ProxyAuthScheme

Specifies the authentication method the provider uses when authenticating to the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer connection property.

Remarks

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.
  • NTLM: The Sync App retrieves an NTLM token.
  • NEGOTIATE: The Sync App retrieves an NTLM or Kerberos token based on the applicable protocol for authentication.
  • NONE: Set this when the ProxyServer does not require authentication.

For all values other than "NONE", you must also set the ProxyUser and ProxyPassword connection properties.

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

Asana Connector for CData Sync

ProxyUser

The username of a user account registered with the proxy server specified in the ProxyServer 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 ProxyUser
BASIC The user name of a user registered with the proxy server.
DIGEST The user name of a user registered with the proxy server.
NEGOTIATE 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.
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.

Asana Connector for CData Sync

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.

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.

Asana Connector for CData Sync

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.

Asana 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.

Asana 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.

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\\Asana 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

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.

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.

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
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.
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.

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.

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.

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: "*=*"

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.

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 projects 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.
