Setup Steps

Teradata Vantage Cloud Prerequisites:

• Versions (10 or above) are supported
• Determine which way to connect: Default or SSH Tunneling
• Firewalls on your database server should allow incoming connections through the public internet on your Teradata port (typically 1025 unless customized).  
• Be sure to Our IP Grantlist / Whitelist our IP Addresses for cross network database server network access
• Consult with you Teradata administrator as needed on the setup since as a target destination option write access to the targeted database will be required

Instructions (Basic Connection Setup)

Remember DLH.io connects to your database instance with credentials supplied by you. We store your credentials securely with our bank-grade protocols.

Click on the Add New Source for Teradata, and in the resulting new source page update the form with your connection information...

Enter your credentials and other information in the fields:

1. Enter in the Name/Alias field, the name you'll use within DLH.io to differentiate this connection from others

2. Enter in the Target Schema Prefix field, is the prefix of schema(s) that gets created on your destination target connection database for each of the schemas you load in this connection.

   • Alphanumeric characters only. It must start and end with a letter but can contain an underscore(_).

3. Enter in the Server/Host field, the name of the public server name or the IP Address (most customers use the IP for this field)

4. Enter in the Port field, where this database is accessible and the firewall restrictions are open

5. Enter in the Database field, the name of the database to connect

6. Enter in the Userame/Alias field, the username of user you created in the steps above to give access to DLH.io

7. Leave Auth Type field alone. It is set to password because DLH.io is using TLS and requires username and password credentials to access the database

8. Enter in the Password field, the password for the user you created in the steps above

9. Click Save & Test
