Amazon Athena Connector

Summary

The Jitterbit Harmony Amazon Athena Connector establishes access to Amazon Athena.

The Amazon Athena connector provides an interface for creating an Amazon Athena connection, the foundation used for generating instances of Amazon Athena activities. Activities interact with Amazon Athena through the connection and are intended to be used as sources (to provide data in an operation) or targets (to consume data in an operation).

The Amazon Athena connector is accessed from the design component palette's Connectivity tab (see Connectors in Design Component Palette).

Note

This connector can be used only with Private Agents. In addition, it is a Connector SDK-based connector, which may be referred to by Jitterbit when communicating changes made to connectors built with the Connector SDK.

Connection Documentation

See Jitterbit's comprehensive Amazon Athena connection documentation, which is provided at a dedicated website. Configuration details such as these are included:

  • Getting Started: Initial steps for establishing a connection.
  • Advanced Features: User-defined views and SSL configuration.
  • Data Model: The data model that the connector uses to represent the endpoint.
  • Connection String Options: Properties that can be defined to configure the connection for both basic and advanced configurations.
