Upstream data to CDP
You can leverage CDP instances by auto-generating your own credentials to
configure CDP connectors.
All CDP accounts are entitled for the following number of instances for each
instance indicated connectors:
| Connectors |
Number of instances |
|---|
| DW Tracker Connector |
5 |
| SFTP CSV Connector* |
20 |
| S3 Output Connector* |
10 |
| 360 Profiles API |
5 |
*You can create an unlimited number of destinations or sources. However, you
can only create instances provided by CDP. The resources generated through CDP
apply to the number of instances noted earlier.
If you reach your entitled number of instances, you will receive an error
message when trying to provision an additional instance. If you require
additional connector instances, contact your Acquia CSM or AM.
You can benefit to use the instances:
- When you want to enable the connector for DW Tracker API or 360 Profiles API.
- When you do not have a dedicated SFTP server and have not set up
an SFTP downstream connector.
- When you do not have an AWS S3 account to downstream data through the
connectors.
Viewing all instances
CDP displays the list of all newly-created instances on the
Instances page. This page does not display any existing instances that you
might want to use with your connectors.
To view all instances:
Sign in to the CDP user interface.
Click Integrations > Instances.
Note
If you do not see the Instances tab in the user interface, you do not
have the correct user role associated with your account. To get access to
this user role, contact your CSM or AM.
You can view the following information about the instances:
- Name: The name of the instance.
- Modified: The date when the instance was last modified. You
can view the details of the user who modified the instance details.
- Created: The date when the instance was created. You
can view the details of the user who created the instance.
- Current Status: The status of the instance. The following are the
available statuses:
- Not Provisioned: The Support team updated the details of an instance
after the instance was created.
- In Progress: The instance creation process is taking longer than
usual. Typically, the process to create an AWS S3 instance might take more time.
- Failed: The instance creation process failed. To retry the
provisioning of the instance, go to the Edit Instance page for the failed instance, and click Retry Provision.
- Ready to Use: The instance is configured but not used as a source or
destination connector.
- In Use: The instance is configured and used as a source or
destination connector.
- Delete In Progress: The instance deletion process is in progress.
