IBM Data Connect连接IBM Cloud Object Storage的配置疑问

Hey there! Let's clear up your confusion about setting up the connection between IBM Data Connect and your IBM Cloud Object Storage (COS) instance.

1. 你选的连接类型是对的！ #

First off, don't stress about picking "Bluemix Object Storage" — that's just the legacy name for IBM Cloud Object Storage. This connection type is fully compatible with your current COS instance, so you're already on the right track.

2. 详情栏需要的具体信息及获取方法 #

Here's exactly what you need to pull from your COS instance, plus step-by-step instructions to find each piece:

Required Details: #

• API Key
• Region Code (e.g., us-south, eu-gb)
• Bucket Name
• Resource Instance ID (some configurations require this field)

How to Retrieve These Values: #

1. Log into your IBM Cloud Console and navigate directly to your Cloud Object Storage instance.
2. From the left sidebar menu, select Service Credentials.
3. If you don't have an existing credential, click New credential, give it a descriptive name, assign a role (e.g., Reader for read-only access, Writer if you need to modify data), then click Add.
4. Once the credential is created, click View credentials to expand the full details:
   • Copy the value of apikey — this is your required API Key.
   • Grab the full resource_instance_id string (it starts with crn:v1:bluemix:public:cloud-object-storage:...).
   • Extract the region code from the endpoint URL: for example, if the endpoint is https://s3.us-south.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud, the region code is us-south.
5. Your bucket name is the exact name you assigned to your COS bucket, which you can find on the Buckets page of your COS instance.

Quick Tips for Filling the Form: #

• Paste the API Key exactly as it appears (no extra spaces or line breaks — even tiny formatting errors will break the connection).
• Region codes are case-insensitive, but stick to the lowercase format shown in the endpoint to avoid unnecessary issues.
• Double-check your bucket name — COS bucket names are case-sensitive, so match it perfectly to what you see in your COS instance.
