# Altium Enterprise Server

Altium Enterprise Server is a server-based workspace for Altium Designer that manages electronic design data, components, and workflows. Learn more at www\.altium.com.

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="https://2091741164-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FvrraExym8pNEUvBDoima%2Fuploads%2FtlFf29W81Xw97AUJ5zwb%2FScreenshot%202026-02-19%20at%201.13.34%E2%80%AFPM.png?alt=media&amp;token=c80f613a-d379-4cd4-a5c8-9c04e63e37ea" alt="" data-size="line">.
2. Select <img src="https://2091741164-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FvrraExym8pNEUvBDoima%2Fuploads%2FvRt2Y6430HsHPK6daNVM%2Faltium-designer.png?alt=media&amp;token=fe2858de-d81f-4e83-ab3b-1b4c79f3e69f" alt="" data-size="line"> **Altium Enterprise Server**

\[Optional] Assign permissions to which users or user groups can view the data or edit the credentials:

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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.violetlabs.com/apps/a/altium-enterprise-server.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
