Creating a Infor Data Lake connection

The Infor Data Lake Connector enables you to extract objects from Infor Data Lake using Compass querying capabilities. The Data Lake Connector is accessible for all space types and allows users to connect to their Data Lake based Infor datasources. Infor Data Lake connector automatically identifies and connects to the same Data Lake tenant.

Note: Infor Data Lake's use of Compass is subject to Amazon Web Services (AWS) service limits. Depending on the size and complexity of the query, it is possible the query could time out after 60 minutes of run time. We recommended using the Data Lake connector for incremental queries or highly optimized queries to avoid timeout issue.

To use Infor Data Lake Connector, you must create a connection and then configure data source extractions.

Note:  You must use an Administrator account in Birst to use the Infor Data Lake Connector.
