Manage the Dundas BI (Managed) Connector

You can use the Dundas BI Connector to connect to any data source used in that environment, or to connect to a data cube or other warehoused data in that environment. This feature also allows you to leverage data organized in a data cube for integration into your analytics environment.

If you are transitioning from an earlier release of Symphony, complete these steps as you work with technical support to reconnect to the data in your Dundas BI environment.

Important: You will need appropriate licensing for all relevant components to complete this procedure.
