DataSelf has been working closely with Acumatica Inc to certificate and optimize the OData extraction to be efficient, fast and cause minimal performance impact in your Acumatica ERP/CRM.

Connecting ETL+ to Acumatica

Time Required to Execute this Procedure

  • Deployment procedure: 30 minutes

  • Reading all related documentation first: hours

  • Data load: you can run the data load unassisted. It can take from minutes to hours (or even days) depending on your data volume.

1. ETL+ Deployment for Acumatica Cloud

  1. Click here to fill out the DataSelf Analytics for Acumatica Deployment Form.

  2. User Access: Click here for instructions to grant DataSelf data extract access to your Acumatica.

  3. OData Extraction Setup: Click here for instructions to deploy DataSelf Generic Inquiries (GIs).

  4. Wait until you receive an DataSelf email notifying your cloud-to-cloud deployment has been completed.

2. Level 1 Testing

The Level 1 Testing checks if the data extraction process finished successfully and the overall row count per extracted table matches with Acumatica’s replicated table row counts.

Steps

The following Test 1 steps assume ETL+ has already loaded your data manually or scheduled:

  • If you haven’t installed ETL+ on your Windows computer yet: ETL+ Deployment Instructions.

  • Login to ETL+ (help here).

  • On the ETL main page, click the top-right Log icon. Log page help here.

  • Scroll down on the log page and double-check that no table load failed, and the row count matches with the source tables in Acumatica.

    • Click here to view Acumatica’s table row count

    • Following is an example highlighting two tables and loaded row count.

In most cases, the out of the box DataSelf solution is all set once the above is completed.
