In this section, we provide guides and references to use the Teradata connector.

Configure and schedule Greenplum Teradata and profiler workflows from the OpenMetadata UI:

• Requirements
• Metadata Ingestion
• Data Profiler
• Data Quality

Requirements

Python Requirements

{% partial file="/v1.6/connectors/python-requirements.md" /%}

To run the Teradata ingestion, you will need to install:

pip3 install "openmetadata-ingestion[teradata]"

Metadata Ingestion

All connectors are defined as JSON Schemas. Here you can find the structure to create a connection to Teradata.

In order to create and run a Metadata Ingestion workflow, we will follow the steps to create a YAML configuration able to connect to the source, process the Entities if needed, and reach the OpenMetadata server.

The workflow is modeled around the following JSON Schema

1. Define the YAML Config

This is a sample config for Teradata:

{% codePreview %}

{% codeInfoContainer %}

Source Configuration - Service Connection

{% codeInfo srNumber=1 %}

username: Specify the User to connect to Teradata.

{% /codeInfo %} {% codeInfo srNumber=2 %}

password: User password to connect to Teradata

{% /codeInfo %}

{% codeInfo srNumber=3 %}

hostPort: Enter the fully qualified hostname and port number for your Greenplum deployment in the Host and Port field.

{% /codeInfo %}

{% /codeInfoContainer %}

{% codeBlock fileName="filename.yaml" %}

source:
  type: teradata
  serviceName: example_teradata
  serviceConnection:
    config:
      type: Teradata

      username: username

      password: <password>

      hostPort: teradata:1025
