Managing connection to Cloud Pak for Data clusters

After you establish a connection to a Cloud Pak for Data cluster, you can view and delete the remote cluster.

Deleting a remote cluster registration

If you need to delete a registration, user assets that depend on this registration will no longer work. Assets include connectors, environments, jobs, and notebooks that depend on the environments.

If a registration is later created with the same ID, users must still re-create the environment, and update all jobs and notebooks to reference the newly created environment. If the registration is created with a different ID, users must update connections to ensure that the URL that is referenced is correct in addition to updates needed for the jobs and notebooks.

If you need to refresh the registration, in the case that you reinstalled on the remote cluster for Execution Engine for Apache Hadoop:

  1. Select the registration.
  2. Refresh the certificates and wait a few minutes to allow the dependent pod to be re-created.
  3. Refresh the endpoints to ensure that all configurations are refreshed.

Viewing details about the registered cluster

In the Details page of each registration, you can view the endpoints, the edge nodes in the high availability setup, and runtimes.
