# Transferring data from a YTsaurus source endpoint

Yandex Data Transfer enables you to migrate data from YTsaurus tables to managed databases and implement various data transfer, processing, and transformation scenarios. To implement a transfer:

1. [Explore possible data transfer scenarios](#scenarios).
1. [Set up a source endpoint](#endpoint-settings) in Yandex Data Transfer.
1. [Set up one of the supported data targets](#supported-targets).
1. [Create](../../transfer.md#create) a transfer and [start](../../transfer.md#activate) it.
1. Perform the required operations with the database and [see how the transfer is going](../../monitoring.md).

## Scenarios for transferring data from YTsaurus {#scenarios}

You can implement scenarios for loading data from tables into Yandex Cloud managed databases for storage in the cloud, processing, and loading into data marts for visualization.

For a detailed description of possible Yandex Data Transfer scenarios, see [Tutorials](../../../tutorials/index.md).

## Configuring the Managed Service for YTsaurus source endpoint {#endpoint-settings}


When [creating](../index.md#create) or [updating](../index.md#update) an endpoint, configure access to the [Managed Service for YTsaurus cluster](#cluster):


{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Management console {#console}

    
    * **Service account ID**: Select or [create](../../../../iam/operations/sa/create.md) a [service account](../../../../iam/concepts/users/service-accounts.md) with the `managed-ytsaurus.editor` role that Data Transfer will use to connect to the cluster.
    
    * **Cluster ID**: Select the cluster to connect to.
    
    * **Security groups**: Select the following:
        * Cloud network for hosting the endpoint.
        * [Security groups](../../../../vpc/concepts/security-groups.md) for network traffic.
    
        Security group rules apply to a transfer. They allow opening network access from the transfer VM to the cluster. For more information, see [Networking in Yandex Data Transfer](../../../concepts/network.md).


    * **Tables and directories**: Paths to data tables. To add a new path, click **+ Path** and enter the value.

{% endlist %}


## Configuring the data target {#supported-targets}

Configure one of the supported data targets:

* [PostgreSQL](../target/postgresql.md)
* [ClickHouse®](../target/clickhouse.md)
* [Greenplum®](../target/greenplum.md)
* [Yandex Managed Service for YDB](../target/yandex-database.md)

For a complete list of supported sources and targets in Yandex Data Transfer, see [Available transfers](../../../transfer-matrix.md).

After configuring the data source and target, [create and start the transfer](../../transfer.md#create).
