Creating Cassandra database instances
Create a database data instance for a NoSQL Apache Cassandra database so that Pega Platform can access that database.
When you create a Database Table instance for a class, the table name equals the Couchbase bucket.
- If the database platform of the additional database differs from the database platform of Pega Platform, or does not use postgresSQL, define Pega Platform the database driver. For more information, see Defining the database driver.
- In the header of Dev Studio, click .
- In the Create database tab, enter a short description, and
in the Database field, enter a name for the external
database. The database name is case-sensitive.
- Click Create and open.
- Optional: To indicate the system of record, in the Integration
system field, press the Down arrow key, and then select the name of
the integration system that you want to associate with this database.The value that you select is for informational purposes only, and does not affect the behavior of the database instance. You can use this value to organize rules for integration connectors, data types, and sources for data pages.
- In the How to connect list, click Use Cassandra configuration listed below.
- In the Cassandra Hostnames and Ports section, click
Add Host, and then enter a hostname or IP address and
port for a node in the Cassandra cluster.You can specify multiple hosts.
- In the Cassandra Cluster section, enter the Keyspace, Username, and Password that you use when connecting to the database.
- Optional: To specify the names of other database instances that views in this database
can reach, on the Advanced tab, define the database
parameters:
- In the Database Name list, click the Add item icon.
- In the Database Name field, press the Down arrow key, and then select the name of a database instance that views in the external database need to access.
- Click Save.
- Optional: To test the database connection, on the Database tab,
click Test connection.This test does not test the administrative user that you specify.
- Diagnostic information appears in a new window if the test fails.
- Modify the database instance until the test succeeds.
