Intro
Use this connector to export your data from a Domo DataSet to an Amazon Redshift database. To learn more about Redshift, visit their website at https://aws.amazon.com/redshift/.
You export data to a Redshift database in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Redshift Writeback connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Prerequisites
To configure this connector, you will need the following:
-
A Domo Client ID and Client Secret. To obtain these credentials, do the following:
-
Log into your Domo developer account at https://developer.domo.com/login.
-
Select the desired data and user application scope.
-
Click Create.
-
-
The hostname or IP address of your Redshift server.
-
Your Redshift database name.
-
Your Redshift username and password.
-
The port number of your Redshift server.
- Your AWS access key. This is available in the AWS Console in the Security Credentials section (or under Users if you are using IAM).
-
Your AWS secret key. This was provided when you created your access key. You can generate a new one in the AWS Console.
If you don't know any of your SQL credentials, contact your SQL Database Administrator.
You may also paste the text for a Redshift CA certificate (or you may input the URL where the certificate is located), but this is optional.
Configuring the Connection
This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Redshift Writeback Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Credentials Pane
This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Domo developer account as well as the table in your Redshift database where you want your data to be copied to. The following table describes what is needed for each field:
Field |
Description |
---|---|
Domo Client ID |
Enter your Domo client ID. |
Domo Client Secret |
Enter your Domo client secret. |
Host |
Enter your Redshift database hostname. |
Database |
Enter the name of your Redshift database. |
Username |
Enter your Redshift username. |
Password |
Enter your Redshift password. |
Database Port |
Enter your Redshift database port number. |
Certificate Format |
Select a certificate format. This must match what you enter in the Certificate field. If you are not aware of a special certificate, select No certificate. |
Certificate |
Paste the text for your CA certificate, or enter the URL where your certificate is located. By default no certificate is required. |
Access Key |
Enter your AWS access key. |
Secret Key |
Enter your AWS secret key. |
Region |
Select the S3 region containing the bucket you want to push data to. |
Bucket |
Enter the name of the AWS bucket you want to push data to. |
For more information about obtaining these credentials, see "Prerequisites," above.
Once you have entered valid credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to set up a new Domo-Redshift connection. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
Details Pane
This pane contains a number of fields for specifying your data and indicating where it's going.
Menu |
Description |
---|---|
DataSet ID |
Enter the DataSet ID (GUID) for the DataSet you want to copy to Redshift. You can find the ID by opening the details view for the DataSet in the Data Center and looking at the portion of the URL following datasources/. For example, in the URL https://mycompany.domo.com/datasources/845305d8-da3d-4107-a9d6-13ef3f86d4a4/details/overview, the DataSet ID is 845305d8-da3d-4107-a9d6-13ef3f86d4a4. |
Table Name Source |
Select how you want to name the table where data will be copied.

Custom Table Name |
Enter the name of the table in your Redshift database where you want your DataSet data to be copied. |
Other Panes
