Actian X
This topic describes Actian X connector properties and connection details for reading data from an Actian X database. This connector enables users to access a publicly accessible Actian X database (hosted in the cloud, not on-premise).
If you’re Creating a Data Profile or Creating a Connection, see Source Details for Actian X 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
• 35.171.66.189

• 52.226.47.196/30
For information about different types of users and how to add grant them permissions, see Manage Users and Update Allow List IP Addresses.
