Embedded Reporting Service is unavailable in Bluemix Catalog - ibm-cloud

I want to use Embedded Reporting Service in my app. to geenrate a report around DashDB. I am following this article for that -
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/analytics/library/ba-create-sql-reports-from-nosql-database-bluemix-trs/index.html?ca=drs-
Is this service deprecated? If yes, what is the alternative I can use to generate reports?
Thanks Raj

The Embeddable Reporting Service was withdrawn from the Bluemix catalog on May 15, 2016. The service functionality has not been replaced with another Bluemix service.

Creating multiple users in Bluemix Biginsight to test Knox service

I have created a space and a BigInsight cluster on Bluemix. In order to test Knox, I need multiple users for authentication. Is it possible to create users in Bluemix Biginsight service? The ID that is provided to access the cluster does not have root access. Also, it would be helpful if someone can explain in detail how the admin-related task(adding more components like Hue,Drill using yum commands) could be performed in Bluemix Biginsights service. Thanks in advance.
I am guessing here that you have created a Bluemix Biginsights Basic (Beta) plan.
This service is a single user service and cannot have multiple users.
In addition this service is a managed service and installation of software by the user is not allowed.
This service comes with preconfigured settings and pre-installed softwares that is fixed. If you do need something apart from this, I would suggest to open a Biginsights service ticket through Bluemix Support page with a request for it and why you need the software.
The product management team will look at it and see if they can be preinstalled in the future release.
These installations will not be done on a any Basic (Beta) plan for individual clusters.

Check out Cloudant on Bluemix

Or better yet Compose.io on Bluemix that offers you different DB options and an easy way to migrate between them.

The Visual Recognition service runs on Bluemix, which offers a number of database options. You could start by investigating the Object Storage service: https://console.ng.bluemix.net/catalog/services/object-storage/?taxonomyNavigation=applications.

Best data base in IBM Bluemix

I am new to Bluemix. I am planning for a web application that could utilize the database service and Watson IoT service.
Currenlty I am using mysql for my app, because it is more familiar to me. I have noticed couple of other services too( clearDB, dashDB, Cloudant DB, NoSQLCloudantDB ). I am not sure whether all the terms i mentioned is correct.
I am confused, which service should i follow?.
For mysql, How can I see the tables that I pushed?.
And, what is meant by, cloudantNoSQL?.
Thanks for the help!
The Watson IoT platform provides a managed connector to the IBM Cloudant NoSQL DB service on Bluemix. https://developer.ibm.com/iotplatform/2016/07/25/enhanced-data-storage-capabilities-for-ibm-watson-iot-platform/
A single specific storage solution is not going to work for every case so which option you choose may be dependent on your overall architecture and strategy.

How to Connect Virtual Machines in a Cloud Service using REST

I'm working with Virtual Machines on Windows Azure and according to the following link:
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/windows/how-to-guides/connect-to-a-cloud-service/
it is possible to link various Virtual Machines to the same cloud service. The provided link clearly explains how to do it by means of the Windows Azure Management Portal. Nevertheless, in my case, I want to do the same using the REST API. Anyone knows how can it be done?
Thank you so much in advance,
Abel.
I believe you need to "add role" to add a new VM to an existing IaaS Cloud service: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/jj157186.aspx

Get metrics via API

I'm using Azure SQL, and there is a page in there with metrics
From what I understood the new Azure Managment Portal consumes only public apis. What I'm trying to find out is how to access these metrics via a REST or SOAP api. I've searched through the MSDN documentation but couldn't come up with anything.
Anyone have any ideas?
I presume Microsoft did not provide Azure Database monitoring REST or SOAP API as it would not be used much.
DBAs can connect to Azure Database and gather all the necessary statistics via dynamic management views which are quite powerful.
However, I do not have any article / documentation confirming my presumptions.
try the new sys.event_log and sys.database_connection_stats DMVs instead.
