To add a Teradata Database source endpoint to Qlik Replicate:

1. In the Qlik Replicate console, click Manage Endpoint Connections to open the Manage Endpoint Connections dialog box. For more information on adding an endpoint to Qlik Replicate, see Defining and managing endpoints.
2. In the Name field, type a name for your Teradata database. This can be any name that will help to identify the database being used.
3. In the Description field, type a description that helps to identify the Teradata database. This is optional.
4. Select Source as the database role.

5. Select Teradata Database as the database Type.

   Information note

   When this endpoint is used as a duplicated source in a Log Stream Staging setup, select the Read changes from log stream check box and then select the relevant Log Stream Staging task from the drop-down list.

   For information on setting up and managing Log Stream Staging tasks, see Using the Log Stream.

6. Type the Server name. This is the name of the computer with the Teradata Database instance you want to work with.

7. Type the Teradata Database authentication information (Username, Password) for the authorized user for this Teradata Database. If you do not know this information, see your Teradata Database system manager.

   Information note

   Consider the following:

   • This information is case sensitive.

   • To determine if you are connected to the database you want to use or if the connection information you entered is correct, click Test Connection.

     If the connection is successful a message in green is displayed. If the connection fails, an error message is displayed at the bottom of the dialog box.

     To view the log entry if the connection fails, click View Log. The server log is displayed with the information for the connection failure. Note that this button is not available unless the test connection fails.

   Information note

   Make sure that the Teradata Database user entered in the Teradata Database Authentication section has the correct access privileges. For information on how to provide the required privileges, see Required permissions.

8. Type the Default database name or select one from the list of available endpoints. This is the name of the Teradata Database where you are replicating the data to.
