# Altium Enterprise Server

Our Altium Enterprise Server integration works by fetching data directly from your Altium database server (typically SQL).

*(Don't have Enterprise Server? We also offer a real-time* [Broken mention](broken://pages/xUOYlyHSTb6sVKG5Kglf) *integration and an import-based* [Altium Designer](/apps/a/altium-designer.md) *integration)*

### **Connect Altium Enterprise Server in Violet**

To connect Altium Enterprise Server, we'll start with an Altium Designer table discovery workflow. Every Altium Enterprise Server deployment is different!

To enable this, we will need read-only SQL access and connectivity to your SQL server (eg. via VPN or allowlist, more info [here](/resources/administrative/connect-self-hosted-software.md)). Additionally, it's helpful to have as 1-2 example parts (including item ID, revision, lifecycle state, and any parameter name/value).

Once Violet's discovery workflow is complete, follow the instructions below to set up an integration:

1. In [Violet](https://app.violetlabs.com/) (or [VioletGov](https://app.violetgov.com/)), navigate to **Integrations** and click  <img src="/files/IS4aq5Ad1Nr6RFUu4LLg" alt="" data-size="line"> to add a new integration.&#x20;
2. Select <img src="/files/eLbdxhZwO51vWySaRT2J" alt="" data-size="line"> **Altium Enterprise Server**

\[Optional] You can also provide a unique name for the connection based on the credentials you're using, and you can create **restricted permissions** to users or groups:

3. Provide the username and password for the SQL account, as well as the IP address, database name and port.
4. Click **Create**. You'll have the option to configure any integration options from there.
