Microsoft SQL Server Requirements:
Setting up Kraken to connect to your Microsoft SQL Server environment requires a user that has read and write access to the database you would like to use for predictive analysis. If your database is not accessible outside of your network, you may need to contact your IT department to whitelist Kraken's IP address. Please contact your Customer Success Manager for more information.

Adding a New SQL Server Connection in Kraken:
 - Log in to Kraken
 - Click on the Menu in the top right corner
 - Select Manage Data
 - Click on the SQL Server Data Provider Card

Data Source: The name or network address of the instance of MS SQL Server

User ID: The MS SQL Server login account being used that has read/write access to the database entered in the previous field

Password: The password for the MS SQL Server account being used

Catalog: The case-sensitive name of the database that contains the data you would like to use for predictive analysis

 - Click Connect
