Nativo Connector for Talend Studio

Nativo Connector can be used to integrated operations supported by Nativo REST API.

In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate Nativo data in Talend Studio without coding. We will use high-performance Nativo Connector to easily connect to Nativo and then access the data inside Talend Studio.

Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that!

Download Documentation

Nativo Connector for Talend Studio is based on ZappySys API Driver which is part of ODBC PowerPack. It is a collection of high-performance ODBC drivers that enable you to integrate data in SQL Server, SSIS, a programming language, or any other ODBC-compatible application. ODBC PowerPack supports various file formats, sources and destinations, including REST/SOAP API, SFTP/FTP, storage services, and plain files, to mention a few.

Create Data Source in ZappySys Data Gateway based on API Driver

Download and install ODBC PowerPack.
Search for gateway in start menu and Open ZappySys Data Gateway:
Go to Users Tab to add our first Gateway user. Click Add; we will give it a name tdsuser and enter password you like to give. Check Admin option and click OK to save. We will use these details later when we create linked server:
Now we are ready to add a data source. Click Add, give data source a name (Copy this name somewhere, we will need it later) and then select Native - ZappySys API Driver. Finally, click OK. And it will create the Data Set for it and open the ZS driver UI.

NativoDSN
When the Configuration window appears give your data source a name if you haven't done that already, then select "Nativo" from the list of Popular Connectors. If "Nativo" is not present in the list, then click "Search Online" and download it. Then set the path to the location where you downloaded it. Finally, click Continue >> to proceed with configuring the DSN:

Now it's time to configure the Connection Manager. Select Authentication Type, e.g. Token Authentication. Then select API Base URL (in most cases, the default one is the right one). More info is available in the Authentication section.

Http [Http]

Please refer to below API reference (external site) link for Http [Http]

https://api-docs.nativo.com/docs/introduction

Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:

Optional Parameters
Api Key
Api Secret
RetryMode	RetryWhenStatusCodeMatch
RetryStatusCodeList	429
RetryCountMax	5
RetryMultiplyWaitTime	True

Once the data source connection has been configured, it's time to configure the SQL query. Select the Preview tab and then click Query Builder button to configure the SQL query:

ZappySys API Driver - Nativo

Nativo Connector can be used to integrated operations supported by Nativo REST API.

NativoDSN
Start by selecting the Table or Endpoint you are interested in and then configure the parameters. This will generate a query that we will use in Talend Studio to retrieve data from Nativo. Hit OK button to use this query in the next step.
```
SELECT * FROM Orders
```
Some parameters configured in this window will be passed to the Nativo API, e.g. filtering parameters. It means that filtering will be done on the server side (instead of the client side), enabling you to get only the meaningful data much faster.
Now hit Preview Data button to preview the data using the generated SQL query. If you are satisfied with the result, use this query in Talend Studio:
ZappySys API Driver - Nativo

Nativo Connector can be used to integrated operations supported by Nativo REST API.

NativoDSN
```
SELECT * FROM Orders
```
You can also access data quickly from the tables dropdown by selecting <Select table>.

A WHERE clause, LIMIT keyword will be performed on the client side, meaning that the whole result set will be retrieved from the Nativo API first, and only then the filtering will be applied to the data. If possible, it is recommended to use parameters in Query Builder to filter the data on the server side (in Nativo servers).
Click OK to finish creating the data source.
Most Important Step: Now, After creating or modifying a data source in ZappySys Data Gateway, make sure to click the SAVE button to preserve your changes.
Then, RESTART the Data Gateway service to ensure all changes are properly applied.

Skipping either step may result in the new settings not taking effect.

Read Nativo data in Talend Studio

To read Nativo data in Talend Studio, we'll need to complete several steps. Let's get through them all right away!

This article is compatible with Talend Open Studio (a free version, currently retired by Qlik). If you don't have it, you can still purchase a shareware version of Talend Studio from Qlik.

Create connection for input

First of all, open Talend Studio
Create a new connection:
Select Microsoft SQL Server connection:
Name your connection:
Fill-in connection parameters and then click Test connection:

NativoDSN
If the List of modules not installed for this operation window shows up, then download and install all of them:
Review and accept all additional module license agreements during the process
Finally, you should see a successful connection test result at the end:

Add input

Once we have a connection to ZappySys Data Gateway created, we can proceed by creating a job:
Simply drag and drop ZappySys Data Gateway connection onto the job:
Then create an input based on ZappySys Data Gateway connection:
Continue by configuring a SQL query and click Guess schema button:
Finish by configuring the schema, for example:
