Prerequisites:

To access AVEVA Cloud Storage (ACS), you need to have a Connect account with the store(s) that will contain the input or output files.

Ensure that the following system environment variables are defined:

Note: The above-listed environment variables are mandatory for connecting to ACS.

ACS Gateway Configuration:

In the relevant AVEVA Cloud Storage section of the Extract and/or Load configuration, select the Store Names combo box.

When configuring for the first time, the AVEVA Cloud Sign In window appears.

1. Select the relevant account that contains the Store (folder) that will be used. When you select this account, it authenticates and establishes a connection with AVEVAConnect and a token is downloaded into Userprofile/.aveva folder with the client ID ending with the word "Credential", for example, AVEVA.Gateway.2DData.ACS_credentials.

   

   Notes:

   It is assumed that this one account will allow access to all of the ACS folders required by the Gateway.

   The refresh token normally has a lifetime of 6 months. When a token becomes expired, you will get the following error message:

   "Existing token may be expired. Please use Connect button from Loader pages in GUI mode to create credentials file."

2. After the connection is successful, the below status bar displays the message Connection to AVEVA Cloud Storage is successful and Store Names will contain the list of available stores.

   

3. Select the relevant ACS Store.

4. Save the changes.
