IBM DataStage for Cloud Pak for Data connection (IBM Knowledge Catalog)

To access your data in DataStage for Cloud Pak for Data, create a connection asset for it.

DataStage for Cloud Pak for Data is a data integration tool for designing, developing, and running jobs that move and transform data.

Create a connection to DataStage for Cloud Pak for Data

To create the connection asset, you need the following connection details:

  • Hostname or IP address
  • Port number
  • Credentials: specify username and password or API key
  • SSL certificate (if required by the database server). For example, specify a certificate if your DataStage for Cloud Pak for Data instance is not on the same cluster as the project where you want to create a metadata import job.

Choose the method for creating a connection based on where you are in the platform

In a project
Click Assets > New asset > Prepare data > Connect to a data source. See Adding a connection to a project.
