To access your data in SAP IQ, create a connection asset for it.
SAP IQ is a column-based, petabyte scale, relational database software system used for business intelligence, data warehousing, and data marts. SAP IQ was formerly Sybase IQ.
Create a connection to SAP IQ
To create the connection asset, you need these connection details:
- Database name
- Hostname or IP address
- Port number
- Username and password
- SSL certificate (if required by the database server)
For Private connectivity, to connect to a database that is not externalized to the internet (for example, behind a firewall), you must set up a secure connection.
Choose the method for creating a connection based on where you are in the platform
- In a project
- Click Assets > New asset > Connect to a data source. See Adding a connection to a project.
- In a catalog
- Click Add to catalog > Connection. See Adding a connection asset to a catalog.
