Managing the connection to a cloud storage

You can use the Manage connections page to view and edit all services that are created for your projects. To manage a connection, click Manage connection on the header of the Projects page. For more information, see Projects. You can edit or delete a connection that is created for the organization on the menu of a chosen connection.

You can edit the following data in the options of a chosen connection:

  • Name
  • Summary
  • Channel
  • Queue manager
  • Queue name
  • Host
  • Port
  • Configuration properties
  • Username
  • New password

After you change the settings, use the Verify connection button to validate your connection data.

Activating the connection

By default, the created schedule source connection is displayed in the inactive status. You need to activate the connection to fetch the data at the scheduled time frame from the cloud storage. To do so, on the Schedule source page, set the toggle button to Active.

Fetching data through the connection

The schedule source connection that is created in IBM Process Mining automatically fetches data at the time interval that is specified when you create the connection. You can also fetch data whenever it is required. To do so, click the Fetch data now button on the Schedule source page.

In the data stream card, you can also view the information about the time of the last fetching.

After you fetch the data through the schedule source connection, IBM Process Mining automatically analyzes and visualizes the data in the project. To view the fetched data, see Data source.

Analyzing the fetched data

After you fetch the data, IBM Process Mining automatically analyzes the data and indicates the status of the project.

The data results can be either Successful or Failed. To view details about the data results, hover over the result to see additional information.

When you create a schedule source, either by using event log or object tables, the numbers next to the imported details represent the number of rows that are the part of your corresponding .csv document. For more information, see Data source. The numbers next to the discarded details represent the number of rows that are not imported. Also, you can view a maximum of a 10 first discarded rows.
