Actian Vector
This topic describes Actian Vector connector properties and connection details for reading data from an Actian Vector database. This connector enables users to access a publicly accessible Actian Vector database (hosted in the cloud, not on-premise).
If you’re Creating a Data Profile or Creating a Connection, see Source Details for Actian Vector to Define Source.
Prerequisites
Add the following Actian Data Platform IP addresses to the allow-list of your database host: 
• 35.170.36.127
• 34.198.71.203
