Setting up the Teradata Datasource Connector for Structured Data

Before you begin

Before you begin, ensure the following:

  • The datasource must be reachable from the network where the product is deployed (for example, via a private DNS name or a routable IP address).
  • If a firewall is in place, ensure the required port is open.
  • Create a user account with read access to the datasource metadata for the product to run the scanning process.

This task describes how to create database credentials for a Teradata datasource connector to scan structured data.

Steps

  1. Navigate to Administration > Data Sources > Data Type and select Teradata DB from the left-hand menu.
  2. Click New Credentials to create new Teradata DB credentials.
  3. Gather all needed connection details and input them in the relevant fields:
    Credentials name
    Any unique name, for example, Teradata_datasource1.
    Hostname
    The hostname of your Teradata workspace.
    Port
    Port for secure connection.
    Database name
    Your database name.
    Username
    Authentication username.
    Password
    Authentication password.
  4. Click SAVE & CREATE SCAN to save the credentials and proceed to the scan configuration.

    The system attempts to connect and displays an error if the connection fails.
