You must connect to your data before you can start using CDP Data Visualization for
modeling and visualizing the data. You can define connections to various source systems. Learn
how to create a simple data connection.
In Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW), the connection to the database catalog is automatically
set up when you enable Data Visualization in a Virtual Data Warehouse. Database catalogs and virtual data warehouses automatically
inherit the same security restrictions that are applicable to your CDP environment. There is
no need to specify the security setup again for each database catalog or virtual warehouse.
If you cannot see the data in the connected database catalog after you log in, check and
adjust data access permissions or your environment and data warehouse user permissions.
In Cloudera Machine Learning (CML), you can set up several connection types. For example,
you can connect Data Visualization to an Impala or Hive data warehouse. For more information
on connection types, see Data connections in CDP Data Visualization.
