Create Logius COR database

In this step, we set up a database with data from Logius COR. The database is "virtual" because it is not a traditional database, but is fed real-time from Logius COR. Invantive Cloud provides Power Automate Connector with a real-time link to Logius COR. The database will be used for all your Logius COR reporting with Power Automate Connector. So you only need to perform these steps once.

  1. Click the Add Database button. Add database.

  2. Select Logius COR from the list. Select Logius COR connector.

Congratulations! You can now process data from Logius COR within the Invantive Cloud website. You can do this for example with the interactive SQL editor.

Grant connection from Power Automate Connector access to Logius COR

To retrieve the data from Power Automate Connector we create a link via Invantive Bridge Online. This creates a "bridge" between the cloud of Invantive and the standard OData connector that is available in every version of Power Automate Connector. You do not need to install anything locally: no connector, no ado.NET provider and no Power Automate Connector add-on neither.

Execute the following steps to safely use the data from Logius COR outside of Invantive Cloud:

  1. Next to the database you will find an orange text requesting you to allow access from your current location (IP address). Select the nearby orange button.

  2. You must completely disable IP address checking by entering an asterisk ("*") since Microsoft Power Automate Connector consists of hundreds of thousands of servers across the globe.

You are now ready to import the Logius COR data into Power Automate Connector.

Configure Power Automate Connector connector for Logius COR

You will now pull in Power Automate Connector data from Logius COR through the established link.

Please note again that Invantive Cloud under the hood handles all complexity such as setting up credentials such as a refresh token, acquiring an access token, optimizing and parallelizing access, accessing an API within the rate limits, scopes and security restrictions. There is absolutely no need for knowledge on complex technical topics such as OAuth access tokens or API. The Microsoft Azure Data Factory steps, activities and pipelines can be constructed using just the OData feed and basic authentication.

Execute the following steps:

  1. Start Microsoft Power Automate Connector and select 'Ingest'. Copy Logius COR data using Microsoft Azure Data Factory activity 'Ingest'

  2. Select 'Built-in copy task'. Built-in copy using Logius COR as source

  3. Select source type 'OData' and select 'New connection'. OData connection for Logius COR to Microsoft Azure Data Factory

  4. Enter in the window the Bridge Online URL of the Power Automate Connector database. This URL containing the data can be found in the Database-form of Invantive Cloud. Choose authentication type 'Basic authentication'. Enter the Invantive Cloud user name and password. OData URL for Logius COR with log on credentials

  5. The list of available Logius COR tables appears. Select the desired tables and construct your pipeline in Microsoft Azure Data Factory. Select Logius COR tables and process them in Microsoft Azure Data Factory
