ibm data connect connection for ibm cloud object storage - ibm-cloud

I have created bucket in ibm cloud object storage and successfully able to upload file posting there. Now, I want to refine those files using ibm data connect. I am trying to create a connection in data connect and selected bluemix object storage.
Dont understand what details are asked under details. Am I selecting wrong connection type or what exactly details should i look for, in my cloud object storage.

Data Connect was deprecated in December 2017 and reached end-of-life 3/30/2018. Data Refinery is the successor, and does connect to IBM Cloud Object Storage natively. Information about migrating from Data Connect can be found here.

Unable to create database instance in IBM Cloud

[there is some internal server error while creating database instance in cloud][1]

Raise a support ticket with IBM.
Operational issues on commercial cloud services are not for stackoverflow.
Additionally, if you are on the "lite" plan (as suggested by your image), there is no ability to create a Database instance. Instead, you can only connect to a shared multi-tenanted database with your your account. It has a schema which is your account-name.

How to take Backup of the Object Storage created in IBM Bluemix (IBM Cloud)?

I have a Cloud Object storage created from bluemix (IBM Cloud) console. Now for some reason, I need to backup all the data present in the existing object storage into another object storage.
I'm not able to find anything proper on this. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
You can use a tool like rclone or s3cmd to sync the Cloud Object Storage buckets to a linux server and then use those same tools to send them to the new Cloud Object Storage account.

Connecting to Object Storage on Node-Red

I am trying to retrieve an image from my Object Storage service using Node-Red.
I imported the Object Storage nodes in my Node-Red instance running on IBM Bluemix and I am trying to use the "get" node but I cannot figure out how to correctly connect it to the Object Storage service.
I set the option to get the configuration details from the Bluemix Service, but when deploying I would always get an error saying "Object Storage Put (err): No object storage configuration found!".
If instead I use the option for API based configuration information, I need to fill out fields which I cannot find on my VCAP_SERVICES or the Object Storage service credentials. The fields that need to be filled in are shown
but my service credentials only include:
"apikey"
"endpoints"
"iam_apikey_description"
"iam_apikey_name"
"iam_role_crn"
"iam_serviceid_crn"
"resource_instance_id"
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
The node-red object storage contribution available in this link:
https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-objectstore
was designed to be integrated with the Swift Object Storage in Bluemix (IBM Cloud Platform).
If you go the Catalog link below:
https://console.bluemix.net/catalog/infrastructure/object-storage-group
there are 4 options, the one you previously selected and is trying to connect is probably the first on the left side and will not integrate with node-red-contrib-objectstorage. T
To integrate with node-red you need to create an instance of the Object Storage service on the far right: Object Storage OpenStack Swift for Bluemix

Migrating Files from Parse.com to our hosted parse server [image]

I have migrated files from Parse.com to my hosted parse server using "https://github.com/parse-server-modules/parse-files-utils" tool by applying "Option-2".
Now My problem is when I click on the image in my hosted parse server dashboard, it will show me message "File not found." and my url is like,
http://ip of my server:1337/parse/files/OE9gP1wrd2OT9avp3RBmt8zysmM25wRTMtDOxsfe/tfss-6ca44378-72fb-4ddf-aef2-11af0485b11b-profile-pic
If I upload new image from mobile aap, its working fine.
I have installed mongodb and migrated parse.com data to newly created database in mongodb.
I am not using any FileAdapter in my new created parse server.
Thanks in advance, kindly please look into this issue and help me that how can I display migrated images in our hosted parse server.
What is the http error you are seeing (404?) Are you sure the error is "file not found"? Maybe your server folder permission is set not set to public, so you can't publicly access the files (should be a 403 error).
You usually store the image files to a container (storage) that can be accessed via APIs like Amazon (AWS) or Microsoft Azure. It's usually more efficient to keep you local server file storage small and have fast access speeds to your images.
You can find out how to setup an Amazon S3 bucket or Google Cloud Storage here.
You can find out how to setup an Azure Storage here and connect it to your parse-server using this adapter.
I'm not sure about AWS, but Google and Azure gives you free credits if you sign up, and (at least for Azure) the storage aren't too expensive, so the free credits can last you a while...

How to connect dashDB (on Bluemix) with Object Storage (on Bluemix)?

I am using Public Bluemix. I have provisioned a dashDB service instance using my IBM ID in Bluemix. I have also provisioned a Object Storage service. I would like to load files from Object Storage into dashDB.
When I try to define a load job in dashDB to get a file from Object Storage, I face a problem.
dashDB allows me to choose either Amazon S3 or Swift Object Store as the data source. I chose "Swift" and then provided the following Bluemix Object Store service credentials.
Public authentication endpoint : https://identity.open.softlayer.com
User name: as found in my my Bluemix Object Store credentials 'username'
API access key: as found in my my Bluemix Object Store credentials 'password'
Then, I clicked "Browse swift files", expecting to see the files which exist in my Bluemix Object Store's container. But, it shows me just a blank folder and no files.
I need to understand the method to connect Bluemix dashDB to Bluemix Object Store. Please help.
I'm having trouble getting this to work too.
At first, I found an answer on dWAnswers that said this may not be supported.
https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/166630/dataworks-integration-between-object-storage-and-d.html
Edit:
The Bluemix support team got back to me with the following message:
For loading from Swift, Bluemix Object Storage is not supported
and only object storage on SoftLayer is supported at this time.
Thanks.
