External DB as Data Source in addition to Saviynt default database

[Vamsi]

Hi All,

Is there a way we can connect an additional/External database as data store to read from.  We have data that need some manipulation, we want to make it out side of saviynt and use that in analytics , workflow etc . 

Thanks

@Vamsi,

Yes you can connect to an external database but only as a target application for reconciliation or an authoritative source for User Imports. You cannot connect to external database to run Analytivs or drive workflows from.

@avinashchhetri  You can pull data in analytics via connecting external database.

You can show external database data without pulling data inside SSM but you cant use data in workflow unless you store in SSM Database (Endpoint./Account/Entitlement)

Steps [Only for database connector]

1. create database connector
2. create analytics and attach external connection created in step 1
3.
