Introduction
Connecting TIBCO Data Virtualization to Foundational allows Foundational to access TDV metadata and determine lineage.
To make the connection, you need to:
Create a TDV user for Foundational
Connect TDV to Foundational using the TDV server URL and user credentials
Prerequisites
Ensure you have:
Access to the TDV admin portal
Permission to create users in TDV
Added Foundational IP addresses to the allowlist, see the article Allowing IP access to Foundational
Access permissions
Foundational requires administrator permissions in TDV to read metadata and determine lineage. It does not read or access data or run queries.
Non-admin users can see only the definitions they own. Granting admin permissions to Foundational allows it to see definitions for all users.
Create a TDV user for Foundational
Sign in to TIBCO, open the Admin portal, and then go to Security > User Management.
Add a new user.
Enter the details:
User name:
foundational
Password: Set a password and confirm it
Template: Administrator
Save the user and password. You’ll need them to set up the connection.
