Deploying DataStage on a remote data plane

Deploy a DataStage instance on a remote data plane to run jobs in a physical location of your choice, including in different geographies or cloud providers, without operating a separate Cloud Pak for Data instance in each location.

About this task

To support deploying DataStage PXRuntime on a remote data plane, you need to deploy the DataStage operator to the management namespace of the physical location associated with remote data plane. First, you must deploy the physical location and associate it with a remote data plane. For more information, see Setting up a remote physical location for IBM Cloud Pak for Data.

To use a PXRuntime instance on a remote data plane with a project, you must create a runtime environment for that instance, and select it as the project default. All resources required at runtime are created on the PXRuntime instance. As a result, jobs in the project might not run on other PXRuntime instances.

Procedure

  1. To deploy the operator on your physical location, download the deployment script from deployment script and run the following command.
    ./deploy_operator.sh --namespace $REMOTE_PROJECT_MANAGEMENT 
  2. Create a PXRuntime instance on the remote data plane. For more information, see Creating a service instance for DataStage from the web client.
