You can use the Amazon Athena connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from Amazon Athena and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Add the Amazon Athena Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Amazon Athena, you first must add the connector, as follows:

1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

3. Click the Sources tab and locate the Amazon Athena row.

4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the Amazon Athena connector. For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.

Authenticate to Amazon Athena

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

• Connection Name - Enter a connection name of your choice.

• S3 Staging Directory - Enter the S3 folder path (for example, s3://MyBucketName) where you want to store the results of queries.

• Data Source - Enter the name of the Amazon Athena data source to which you want to connect.

CData Sync supports authenticating to Amazon Athena in several ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

• ADFS
• AwsRootKeys (default)
• AwsIAM Roles
• AwsEC2 Roles
• AwsMFA
• AwsCredentialsFile
• Okta
