Zuora AQuA Connector Overview

You can use Zuora AQuA Connector to connect to Zuora from Informatica Cloud.
Zuora AQuA Connector uses Zuora AQuA API in a stateful or a stateless mode to read data and to retrieve the deleted rows from Zuora AQua. You can use Zuora AQua API to download data in bulk from multiple objects. You can use Zuora AQuA Connector to read data from multiple related objects in Zuora.
Use a Zuora AQuA connection to create a Zuora AQuA source object in a Data Synchronization task or Mapping Configuration task. The Secure Agent reads the data for the corresponding object stored in Zuora AQuA. To use the AQuA API in a stateful mode, you need to specify the Project ID and the Partner ID in a Data Synchronization task or Mapping Configuration task.

Incremental Loading in Zuora

Use incremental load to read data incrementally from Zuora. When you read data incrementally from Zuora, the Secure Agent reads the updated or added rows from Zuora.
When you use Zuora AQuA a continuous session across a series of requests id formed in a stateful mode. When you specify the Partner ID and Project ID, the Secure Agent reads an incremental load of data from Zuora. When you do not specify the Partner ID and Projec tID, the Secure Agent reads a full load of data from Zuora.
The following table shows an example of reading incremental load of data from Zuora:
Partner ID
Project ID
Records Fetched
Infa
A
First run - 100 Records
The Secure Agent runs the first request query against all the records in the database and reads all the records present in Zuora. After the first run, the Secure Agent fetches 100 records.
Consider after the first run, 5 rows are added to Zuora.
Infa
A
Second run - 5 Records
The Secure Agent reads only 5 records that were added after the first run. After the second run, consider that 3 records are updated in Zuora.
Infa
A
Third run - 3 Records
The Secure Agent reads the 3 updated records. After the third run, change the Project ID to B.
Infa
B
Fourth run- 105 Records
After you change the project ID, the Secure Agent runs the request query against all the records in the database, and reads all the records present in Zuora.
