Setup testslink

Fivetran performs the following Periscope connection tests:

• The Database Host Connection Test validates the database credentials you provided in the setup form. The test verifies that the host is not private and then checks the connectivity to the host.
• The Connection Test connects to your database instance and executes queries to check if we have the permissions to access the information_schema and pg_catalog schemas.

NOTE: The tests may take a couple of minutes to finish running.
