Copy data from Oracle Eloqua using Azure Data Factory or Synapse Analytics (Preview)

[!INCLUDEappliesto-adf-asa-md]

This article outlines how to use the Copy Activity in an Azure Data Factory or Synapse Analytics pipeline to copy data from Oracle Eloqua. It builds on the copy activity overview article that presents a general overview of copy activity.

Important

This connector is currently in preview. You can try it out and provide feedback. If you want to take a dependency on preview connectors in your solution, please contact Azure support.

Supported capabilities

This Oracle Eloqua connector is supported for the following activities:

• Copy activity with supported source/sink matrix
• Lookup activity

You can copy data from Oracle Eloqua to any supported sink data store. For a list of data stores that are supported as sources/sinks by the copy activity, see the Supported data stores table.

The service provides a built-in driver to enable connectivity, therefore you don't need to manually install any driver using this connector.

Getting started

Connector configuration details

The following sections provide details about properties that are used to define Data Factory entities specific to Oracle Eloqua connector.

Linked service properties

The following properties are supported for Oracle Eloqua linked service:

Property	Description	Required
type	The type property must be set to: Eloqua	Yes
endpoint	The endpoint of the Eloqua server. Eloqua supports multiple data centers, to determine your endpoint, login to https://login.eloqua.com with your credential, then copy the base URL portion from the redirected URL with the pattern of xxx.xxx.eloqua.com.	Yes
username	The site name and user name of your Eloqua account in the form: SiteName\Username e.g. Eloqua\Alice.	Yes
password	The password corresponding to the user name. Mark this field as a SecureString to store it securely, or reference a secret stored in Azure Key Vault.	Yes
useEncryptedEndpoints	Specifies whether the data source endpoints are encrypted using HTTPS. The default value is true.	No
useHostVerification	Specifies whether to require the host name in the server's certificate to match the host name of the server when connecting over TLS. The default value is true.	No
usePeerVerification	Specifies whether to verify the identity of the server when connecting over TLS. The default value is true.	No

Example:

{
    "name": "EloquaLinkedService",
    "properties": {
        "type": "Eloqua",
        "typeProperties": {
            "endpoint" : "<base URL e.g. xxx.xxx.eloqua.com>",
            "username" : "<site name>\\<user name e.g. Eloqua\\Alice>",
            "password": {
