Wherescape RED can be easily used in conjunction with Amazon’s cloud service, Amazon Relational Database Services (RDS). This document explains the few extra steps needed to upload a file source into an AWS SQL Server database.
Description
You can create a metadata repository in a SQL Server instance of Amazon RDS and run Wherescape in the cloud.Only a few extra steps need to be considered to run your data warehouse in the cloud.
Step 1: Prepare general database settings
- Create a database instance in Amazon RDS
- Add your client to DB Security Groups in Amazon RDS
- Create a database in your Amazon RDS database instance using management studio.
See the Amazon AWS documentation site for more details.
Step 2: Installation of Wherescape RED Proceed with your Wherescape RED installation as usual
- Create ODBC source for your database connection
- Install metadata repository using Wherescape Administrator
- Install scheduler using Wherescape Administrator
Note:
Although the scheduler metadata tables reside in the cloud your Windows account for the scheduler runs on your local server
Changes for load tables:
Because Amazon RDS does not support “Bulk Admin” rights for database users following small changes need to be performed for load scripts:
- Comment or remove following lines:
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion setlocal enableextensions
- Remove ctl-file generation.
- Change sqlcmd to bcp command, e.g.:
bcp %DATABASE%.dbo.%LOAD_TABLE% in %LOAD_FILE% -c -t"|" -o %FILELOG% -S %SERVER% -U %USER% -P %PWD%
