Intro

This connector enables you to import Parquet files from Amazon S3 into Domo. You can connect to your Amazon S3 Parquet account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Amazon S3 Parquet connector user interface. To add DataSets, set update schedules, and edit DataSet information, see Adding a DataSet Using a Connector.
