Configuring data source connections offline

Multiple source data connections can be added to the IBM Spectrum® Discover system through offline mode.

Before you begin

You must have the SD_USER,SD_PASSWORD & OVA environment variables set in the IBM Spectrum Discover system. To verify the details, enter gettoken.
Enter the connection values inside the JSON file and add it to IBM Spectrum Discover host by using load_connection <nameofjsonfile>.
A sample JSON file with connection values as shown.
```
{
 "name": "SpectrumScale2Million",
 "platform": "Spectrum Scale",
 "cluster": "ctolib.cluster1",
 "datasource": "scale0",
 "site":"Offline Scale"
}
```


Host: <IBM Spectrum
Discover_hostname>
login: moadmin
Password: Passw0rd

SCP the list.metaocean file to the IBM Spectrum Discover VM by using the following command before you run the ingestion script.
```
sudo scp moadmin@modevdump:/mnt/datadump/scans/<file_name>/home/moadmin/
```
After the list.metaocean file is copied to the IBM Spectrum Discover host, issue the following command to ingest the file.
```
$ ingest <file_name>
```

To monitor the ingestion process by following the producer log, issue the following commands.

$ kp | grep spectrum-discover-producer-<connection_name>-scan

Note: The preceding command returns the producer pod log.

$ oc logs -f -n ibm-data-cataloging spectrum-discover-producer-<connection_name>-scan-<randomchars>
