Could ACC write data into a external RDBMS directly?

[yueminspb]

Hi Team,

Our client need ACC write some statistic data into client's data base. So we just want to know is there any activity node of workflow to achieve this?

Hi @yueminspb - check out Federated Data Access (FDA) https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/campaign-classic/using/getting-started/accessing-external-da...

Activities you can use are here: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/campaign-classic/using/automating-with-workflows/advanced-ma...

Hi, dear Darren, I have read this link, but I found these activities can only query, split, enrichment and loading. If we can insert or update some data into external data base

Looking at the permissions required for FDA it looks like it is possible but I havent done it myself. Maybe someone else here can advise? https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/campaign-classic/using/getting-started/accessing-external-da...

Hi @yueminspb 

yes, it is posible but sometimes knwos to be buggy.

You must create table schema in AC with relevant information about external table and define external account of used RDBMS in it. Schema must be defined as a view in order to avoid to create new table in AC database. Finaly, use default Update node for inserting data and data will be reflected to external table.
