Optional connection attributes

Unlock advanced control in Paradime with Optional connection attributes. This feature allows customization of your dbt profiles.yml within Paradime Environment settings.

Optional connection attributes allow users to set a flexible profiles.yml snippet in their Paradime Connection settings.

This feature provides users with more control over data warehouse connections (both Code IDE and Scheduler) and extends how Paradime connects to the data warehouse within a given environment. You can set any YAML attributes that a dbt™️ adapter accepts in its profiles.yml.

The following is an example of the types of attributes you can add in the Optional connection attributes text box:

priority: interactive
job_creation_timeout_seconds: 30
job_execution_timeout_seconds: 600
job_retries: 5
job_retry_deadline_seconds: 1200

How to configure optional connection attributes?

Optional connection attributes in Paradime can be set up at three different stages:

1. During initial connection setup: When you're first establishing a connection to your data warehouse during onboarding, you'll have the option to configure optional attributes.

2. In connection settings: At any time, you can access your connection settings to add, modify, or remove optional attributes.
