In fact, you only need to do the 5 following steps to get your Asana data integration started.
Use this step-by-step-instruction to get through the whole product and data integration configuration easily. Some steps require a copy-paste task of code snippets. Please follow the recommendations in this instruction closely.
Step 1: After the quick installation of your Layer2 Cloud Connector and a creation of your new connection, you then need to name your connection, for example „Asana“, and define the direction of the synchronization.
Step 2: Select „Source“ which can be found inside the folder „Data Entities“. Name your source (Data Entity Title) and select the „.Net Framework Data Provider for Odbc“ from the list of included / installed data providers.
Step 2.5: Copy and paste the text you will find below this introduction into the Connection String/Select Statement field. Please adjust any placeholder with your own requirements.
Step 3: Now you have to configure the settings for your desired target. Please click on “Target” and search for the specific target configuration on our website. Then proceed and fill in the remaining input fields accordingly.
Step 4: Please click on “Mappings” which can be found in the folder of your created connection. After that, you have to configure your own mapping like shown in the screenshot (example) to get decent data.
Step 5: If you have finalized your source and target settings, you need to go back to your first connection set up window of Step 1. You can now start your synchronization by clicking on “Run Now” at the bottom of the configuration window.
Good to know: The “Preview Data” function is a good way to see the result of your data integration in a preview mode. If you do not like the result, you can always make changes in the connection string, in the mapping, and the „Select Statement”.
