Operating cloud environments

For some capabilities, you can manage the systems and components in each of your cloud environments. For example, you can retrieve and view log files, create a data source to securely connect to relational databases, import certificates to securely connect to service providers, and manage applications.

1. Log in to your cloud subscription.
2. Navigate to the System operations view of the environment you want to work with.
   • Select the environment you want to work with in the drop down menu and Click System operations.

   Depending on the environment and how your cloud subscription is set up and the capabilities that are installed , the following options are available:

   Table 1. Options for system operations

   Option	Description	Capability	Environment
   Log and Trace Settings	Control which events are logged. For more information, see Logging and tracing for a server environment.	Business automations Content Workflow	Development, Test, Production
   Log Retrieval	Retrieve various types of logs for troubleshooting issues with your environments. For more information, see Logging and tracing for a server environment.	Business automations Content Workflow	Development, Test, Production
   Live Log Viewer	View live log data for a cluster. Click the Start icon to begin viewing the current log information. For more information, see Logging and tracing for a server environment.	Content Workflow	Development, Test
   Data Sources	Create or manage data sources to connect to an existing relational database.	Business automations Content Workflow	Development, Test, Production
   Certificates	Import or manage certificates to provide integrity and encryption of communication with external service providers by using SSL.	Business automations Content Workflow	Development, Test, Production
   Failed Events	Reinitiate or discard failed flows for enterprise applications.	Workflow	Development, Test, Production
   Applications	Install and uninstall enterprise applications that you created in IBM® Integration Designer. You can also update the current version of an application with a newer version of the application. The installation uses default configuration options. If you need a customized configuration, such as mapping shared libraries or defining custom properties, contact IBM Support to complete the deployment. After you install an application, you can start and stop it, and see the number of process instances it has in the running, failed, finished, and terminated states. Because an application might have process instances in other states too, use Business Process Choreographer Explorer to see all the process instances belonging to the application. Alternatively, you can use the Application Management REST API to manage enterprise applications. For more information, see Example: Application Management REST API.	Workflow	Development, Test, Production
   Server Status and Recovery	Check the status of the server clusters in each of your environments. If a cluster has issues, you can restart the workflow system. For more information, see Checking the status of workflow systems.	Workflow	Development, Test, Production
   Component Restart	If an environment has issues, you can restart individual components of the environment. You might want to do this, for example, if you update data sources for business automation capabilities or you are developing IBM Navigator custom code and encounter issues with one of the components during testing of your code.	Business automations Content	Development, Test, Production
   Kafka password	Change the password used for authenticating your external event data sources specify the new value and confirm it. To ensure secure communication the credential used has to meet the complexity rules shown.	Insights	Production
