Onboarding Data from JSON

Creating a JSON Source

For creating a JSON source, see Configuring Additional Connectors. Ensure that the Source Type selected is JSON.

You can connect to the CDATA driver without setting any connection properties for your user credentials.

Set the following embedded OAuth parameters:

OAuth Parameter	Description
OAuthVersion	Set this to the OAuth Version, either 1.0 or 2.0.
OAuthRequestTokenURL	Required for OAuth 1.0. In OAuth 1.0 this is the URL where the app makes a request for the request token.
OAuthAuthorizationURL	Required for OAuth 1.0 and 2.0. This is the URL where the user logs into the service and grants permissions to the application. In OAuth 1.0 if permissions are granted the request token is authorized.
OAuthAccessTokenURL	Required for OAuth 1.0 and 2.0. This is the URL where the request for the access token is made. In OAuth 1.0 the authorized request token is exchanged for the access token.
OAuthRefreshTokenURL	Required for OAuth 2.0. In OAuth 2.0 this is the URL where the refresh token is exchanged for a new access token when the old one expires. Note that for your data source this may be the same as the access token URL.
OAuthClientId	Set this to the client Id in your app settings. This is also called the consumer key.
OAuthClientSecret	Set this to the client secret in your app settings. This is also called the consumer secret.
CallbackURL	Set this to http://localhost:33333. If you specified a redirect URL in your app settings, this must match.
OAuthSettingsLocation	Saves the authentication values to be persisted across connections. The user must register an `init` script on the jobs cluster to propagate the `OAuthSettingsLocation` file across all the worker nodes.

Field	Description
Fetch Data Using	The mechanism through which Infoworks fetches data from the database.
Connection URL	The connection URL through which Infoworks connects to the database.
Username	The username for the connection to the database.
Password	The password for the username provided.
Source Schema	The schema in the database to be crawled. The schema value is case sensitive.

Once the settings are saved, you can test the connection.

For configuring a JSON Table, see Configuring a Table.

To create a JDBC URL, see Establishing a Connection.

The tables and views supported by the source are described in the Data Model.

For the list of JDBC connection parameters, see Connection Parameters.
