How to import data from Oracle into DataPrep ?

Import data from Other Cloud Services - Oracle





Zoho DataPrep allows you to import data from Other Cloud Services like Oracle, a relational database management system developed by Oracle used for storing, organising, and retrieving data.

Prerequisites for Oracle

Please ensure the following common conditions are met before proceeding with connecting to your Oracle.

1. Provide database read permissions to the Zoho DataPrep server.

2. Ensure you have the correct login credentials for your database. As a best practice, try connecting to your target database from the Zoho DataPrep server, using the native database management software available for the respective database.

To connect to an Oracle database, you must set the operating system environment variable.  

Setting environment variables in Windows 

On the Windows platform, environment variables are stored in the Windows registry, and are automatically set for you. You need not set them manually. 

Setting environment variables in Linux  

To set environment variables when connecting remotely from Oracle Database XE, enter one of the following commands in a terminal session at the remote computer.

For Bourne, Korn, or Bash shell:

source <Oracle_Home>/product/11.2.0/client/bin/oracle_env.sh

For C shell:

source <Oracle_Home>/product/11.2.0/client/bin/oracle_env.sh

Note: To connect to the Oracle database, a user with both CONNECT and SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE is required.

To import data from Other Cloud Services - Oracle 

  1. Create a pipeline or open an existing pipeline from the Home Page, Pipelines tab or Workspaces tab and click the Add data option. You can also click the Import data option under the Workspaces tab to import data.  
InfoInfo: You can also click the Import data  icon at the top of the pipeline builder and bring data from multiple sources into the pipeline.



2. Choose the Cloud databases category from the left pane and click Other Cloud Services. You can also search Other Cloud Services in the search box.

 



NotesNote: If you had already added Other Cloud Services - Oracle connection, choose the required connection under the Saved connections category and proceed to import. To learn more about Saved connections, click here.


3.
Select Other Cloud Services in the Database service name dropdown and the Oracle Database type.

 

4. Enter the Endpoint, Port, Oracle SID/Service name, Username, and Password to authenticate the database connection.


5. Enter a unique name for your connection under
Connection name.

 

6. You can also select the Use SSL checkbox if your database server has been setup to serve encrypted data through SSL.

 

7. Click the Connect button.

 



Notes

Note: The connection configuration will be saved for importing data in the future. Credentials are securely encrypted and stored.


8. Select the tables that need to be imported.



 

9. You can also the Use SQL query option to select and import data.
WarningThe incremental fetch option is not available when the data is imported using a query from databases. Click here to know more about incremental fetch from cloud database.

 

 

10. Click Import to begin importing data from your Oracle account.

 

11. Once you complete importing data, the Pipeline builder page opens and you can start applying  transforms. You can also right-click the stage and choose the Prepare data option to prepare your data using various transforms in the DataPrep Studio page. Click here to know more about the transforms. 




12. Once you are done creating your data flow and applying necessary transforms in your stages, you can right-click a stage and add a destination to complete your data flow.
Notes
Note:  After adding a destination to the pipeline, you can try executing your pipeline using a manual run at first. Once you make sure manual run works, you can then set up schedule to automate the pipeline. Learn about the different types of runs here.
While configuring the Schedule, Backfill, Manual reload, Webhooks, or Zoho Flow, the import configuration needs to be mandatorily setup for all the sources. Without setting up the import configuration, the run cannot be saved. Click here to know more about how to set up import configuration.

13. After configuring a run, a pipeline job will be created at the run time. You can view the status of a job with the granular details in the Job summary. Click here to know more about the job summary.

To edit the Other Cloud Services - Oracle connection  

DataPrep saves your data connections to avoid the hassle of keying in the credentials every time you need to connect to a data source or destination. You can always edit the saved data connection and update them with new parameters or credentials using the Edit connection option.
 

1. Click Saved connections from the left pane under the Choose your data source box while creating a new dataset.


 

2. You can manage your saved connections right from the data import screen. Click the (ellipses) icon to share, edit, view the connection overview, or remove the connection.

 

3. Click the Edit connection option. You can update all the parameters and credentials in the saved connection and click Update.
