Creating a Cloud Data Configuration

Create a Cloud Data Source Configuration. Before you create one of these, you will need to create a data source.

Implementation:

  1. Click the Cloud Data Publishing link in the Your Model tab.
  2. Open the Configuration Options menu.
  3. Click New Configuration to open the Create New Cloud Data Configuration window.
  4. Enter a unique configuration name.
  5. (Optional) Type a description in the field provided, for the new configuration.
  6. (Optional) Tick the Make Documentation Public check box to make the configuration's OpenAPI documentation public.

This documentation is also known as a swagger document, which is formatted using JSON. It will include URL's for public access, data structure and syntax information for querying, as well as details on how to authenticate your chosen configuration.

  1. Use the check boxes to determine how you want to interact with the underlying data, through the configuration. For more information about these processes, refer to Cloud Data Publishing.
  2. (Optional) Tick the NLP check box to enable natural language querying for your chosen configuration. For more information about NLP, refer to Natural Language Processing.
  3. Click Create.

The configuration will now be available to modify, configure subscription keys for developers to access the configuration online, download the OpenAPI and deactivate it, if you decide the configuration no longer needs to be active.
