After deploying a Teradata Viewpoint instance, you must connect to the instance from your browser, and log on to the Teradata Viewpoint portal to add the Teradata Database instance as a monitored system using the Viewpoint Monitored Systems portlet before using the software.
You can use Teradata Viewpoint to connect to a Teradata system on AWS or an on-premises Teradata system.
Teradata Viewpoint on AWS offers a limited number of Teradata Database console utilities in the Remote Console portlet. These utilities are Abort Host, Check Table, Gateway Global, Lock Display, Query Configuration, Query Session, Show Locks, and Update Space.
The time zone for the Viewpoint instance defaults to the time zone of the AWS availability zone.
- If you are using Teradata Viewpoint to connect to a Teradata system on AWS, start a Teradata Database instance using the AWS Console. If you are using Teradata Viewpoint to connect to an on-premises Teradata system, the Teradata Database does not need to be running.
- From the AWS Web Console, note the Public DNS or host name of the Viewpoint instance, and the Private DNS or Public DNS of the Teradata Database instance.
