Business Objects Connection to Cloud Database

[former_member336161]

Hello,

We have a request to create a connection from our Business Objects 4.2 to a cloud database. I am very new to this technology and not sure where to begin. The source database is a not an SAP database. Can this be done? If so, please direct me to some helpful information.

Thanks,

Roseanne

First you need to talk to your "cloud database" and find out what connectivity options they provide.
Second, you need to review data connection guide :

Third - you need to review PAM to see if the DB in question is supported to be reported from :
