Under the Databases category, select Teradata Vantage and then select Set up.
Sources in the sources catalog display the Set up option when a given source does not yet have an authenticated account. Once an authenticated account exists, this option changes to Add data.
The Connect to Teradata Vantage page appears. On this page, you can either use new credentials or existing credentials.
To connect an existing account, select the Teradata Vantage account you want to connect with, then select Next to proceed.
If you are using new credentials, select New account. On the input form that appears, provide a name, an optional description, and your Teradata Vantage credentials. When finished, select Connect and then allow some time for the new connection to establish.
By following this tutorial, you have established a connection to your Teradata Vantage account. You can now continue on to the next tutorial and configure a dataflow to bring data into Platform.
