Manage the Teradata Connector
The Composer Teradata connector lets you access the data available in Teradata databases using the Composer client. The Composer Teradata connector supports Teradata version 16.20.
Before you can establish a connection from Composer to Teradata storage, a connector server needs to be installed and configured. See Manage Connectors and Connector Servers for general instructions and Connect to Teradata for details specific to the Teradata connector.
After the connector has been set up, you can create data source configurations that specify the necessary connection information and identify the data you want to use. See Manage Data Source Configurations for more information. After data sources are configured, they can be used to create dashboards and visuals from your data. See Create Dashboards.
Composer Feature Support
Teradata connector support for specific Composer features is shown in the following table.
Key: Y - Supported; N - Not Supported; N/A - not applicable
Connect to Teradata
The Teradata connector requires a JDBC driver to be configured before you can connect to your data source. You can download the driver from the vendor's site. If you are upgrading, keep in mind you need to configure the JDBC driver - see Upgrade Composer for instructions. For more information and steps, see Add a JDBC Driver.
You can limit the list of available collections in a Teradata data store to collections from a specific schema specified in the Teradata JDBC URL. Use the Teradata JDBC URL database
property to limit the list of available schemas as well as the list of available collections to collections from the schema. For example:
jdbc:teradata://<url>/dbs_port=<port>,database=<schema>
Be sure to work with your Teradata database administrator when you do this.
