INFO

This feature is in preview. To request access, contact Codatum support.

Preparing AWS

  • DB: Grant the integration role USAGE on the schema, SELECT on the tables, and SELECT on svv_table_info.
  • IAM: Grant AmazonRedshiftFullAccess to the integration IAM user.
  • Secrets Manager: Create a secret for the connection target and add the RedshiftDataFullAccess tag (the value can be empty).

Configuring Codatum

  1. Open global nav > Workspace settings > Data management > Connections, then select New connection.
  2. Select Amazon Redshift (only shown if it's available to you).
  3. Enter a Connection name and select an Access level.
  4. Enter the following.
