RDM Ataccama Cloud Deployment

This article is applicable to Ataccama Cloud Professional and Enterprise deployments.

RDM can be deployed as an Ataccama Cloud application.

Configuration summary

The following steps must be completed to run RDM in Ataccama Cloud:

  1. Deploy an RDM environment to the Ataccama Cloud configuration interface (Cloud Portal).

  2. Download and configure a corresponding version of ONE Desktop.

  3. Push an RDM server configuration to a Git server.

  4. Deploy a valid configuration from the RDM Admin Console. For more information, see How to Deploy an RDM Web App Configuration and RDM Admin Console.

We recommend you test RDM server configurations locally. For more information, see RDM Project Local Server Configuration Testing.

Download ONE Desktop

You can download the needed version of ONE Desktop from the Downloads page.

Create a new project

  1. Launch ONE Desktop.

  2. Switch to the Model Explorer view and select the New Model Project icon. Give the project a name, keep the Use template option as Reference Data Manager, and select Finish.

    Creating a new RDM project

    A new RDM project is created:

    New RDM project created

Configure your RDM project

See Building the RDM Solution from Scratch, section Configure your RDM project.

Connect Git with ONE Desktop and your cloud environment

RDM server configurations must be stored in a Git server. The connection to this server must first be configured in ONE Desktop and the Ataccama Cloud configuration interface (Cloud Portal).

For information about how to work with Git in ONE Desktop, see Git.

The root of your Git repository must contain two folders:

  • runtime

  • Files

To ensure the correct structure and that all necessary files are present, you can copy the folders and their content from the RDM project created in the Create a new project step.

Ataccama Cloud Professional and Enterprise deployments should also contain a pathvariables-gitea.xml file in the runtime folder.

There are additional files that enable you to deploy alternative server configurations. However, these are not necessary to run the default configuration.

For more information, see RDM Project Local Server Configuration Testing.

To connect your cloud environment to the Git server:

  1. Go to Ataccama Cloud Portal, that is, your configuration interface.

  2. Select an environment from the list of environments.

  3. Go to the Services tab.

  4. In the Reference Data Management section, find the RDM Server and select Settings.

  5. In Edit connection, complete the information as follows:

    rdm cloud deployment cloud portal git configuration

    1. Connection: Choose between HTTPS and SSH connection type.

    2. Git server: Provide the Git server URL.

    3. Initial branch: Specify the initial branch to be used.

    4. Provide authentication credentials depending on the chosen connection type.

      • For HTTPS connection provide the following:

        • Git username.

        • Git password.

      • For SSH connection upload a Private SSH key.

The validity of the Git server configuration can later be verified in the RDM Admin Console.

You can now make changes to the configuration and push these changes to your cloud environment. You can manage these configurations from the RDM Admin Console. For more information, see RDM Admin Console.

Deploy web application configuration

After setting up everything needed for you RDM solution, you need to generate XML configuration files (packed into a ZIP archive) and deploy them to the RDM Web Application. See How to Deploy an RDM Web App Configuration.

You need to perform this step every time you make changes to your project.
