Introduction to Deployment (2.13)

Deploy InterSystems Data Studio™ using one of the deployment options described in this book. Currently, Data Studio deployments are administered through the InterSystems Cloud Services Portal.

Administering Data Studio Deployments in the InterSystems Cloud Services Portal

Introduction

The InterSystems Cloud Services portal allows you to subscribe to InterSystems Cloud Services, create deployments for services to which you subscribe, and manage the deployments and the teams who work on them.

System administrators who want to create new Data Studio deployments (with or without additional modules) can do so through the Cloud Services Portal.

Note:

If, when signing in to the cloud portal, you cannot see your Data Studio tenant, you may need to be added by an InterSystems team member. Reach out to your support team for more information. Once you have been invited, respond to the invitation as described in Respond to an Invitation to a Tenant.

The process for Data Studio deployment largely follows the process covered by the Cloud Portal introduction and Portal Deployment pages, with the following Data Studio–specific additions:

Creating the Initial Administrative User for Data Studio

When deploying InterSystems Data Studio, you must create a user named supportadmin on the Connect Users page. Create this user after deploying Data Studio and before attempting to access the Data Studio portal.

Data Studio uses a predefined single sign-on configuration that assigns the System Administrator role automatically to the supportadmin user. This is the only user that is granted administrative privileges automatically.

If you create a user with any name other than supportadmin, the user can authenticate successfully but no Data Studio roles are assigned, and most application functionality is unavailable.

The supportadmin user is the only user that is preconfigured with the System Administrator role and must be used to perform initial role and SSO configuration.

Firewall Ports

During Firewall Creation, to allow public access to deployment-hosted web interfaces, you must allow inbound HTTPS traffic (TCP port 443) to the deployment’s public IP address.

Enabling XDBC Access

Data Studio deployments support external SQL connectivity through an InterSystems IRIS superserver configured to allow JDBC and ODBC client connections (XDBC). To enable this access, allow inbound TCP traffic on port 51773 in addition to HTTPS (port 443).

SQL clients connect to the same host as the Data Studio deployment using port 51773.

Before a user can connect using JDBC or ODBC, SQL credentials must be created for that Connect user:

In Data Studio, click your user profile in the top-right-hand corner.
Click Profile.
Under SQL User, select Set Up.
Assign a password for the generated SQL username (<username>_sql by default).
Click Submit.

JDBC clients connect using:

jdbc:IRIS://<host>:51773/B360/:::true

The /:::true parameter enables TLS for the connection, which is required.

Note:

ODBC clients use the same host and port.
