Systems
The Systems view shows a paged list of all the Systems defined in this tenant. Each system displays its status. Selecting a system will open the details panel for the system. On the left side of the view there is a button for adding a new system.
System Status
The system tracks the status of all systems. There are 4 possible statuses for each system.
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Online | The DataShyft Customer Runtime corresponding to this system is running, and bi-directional communication with the runtime has been established. This system is fully operational. |
| Offline | This DataShyft Customer Runtime corresponding to this system has been registered, but it cannot connect to the DataShyft platform. Verify that the firewalls and/or network security settings allow outbound HTTPS connections to the DataShyft platform. |
| Disconnected | The DataShyft Customer Runtime corresponding to this system has been registered and has successfully connected to the DataShyft platform. However, the Platform is unable to establish a connection back to the Runtime. Verify that firewalls and/or network security settings allow inbound connections to the Runtime on its configured port. |
| Unregistered | This system has not been registered with a corresponding DataShyft Customer Runtime. Registration is required before the platform will attempt to communicate with the Runtime. |
Adding a System
A new system can be added by pressing the Add System button on the left side of the Systems view. This will open a new view where you can provide all the details of the new system. The typical way to add a system to your tenant is during the Runtime deployment and Registration process, which will automatically create a system entry for the new runtime.
To create a new system manually, you must first have installed and launched a DataShyft Customer Runtime within your environment. With the runtime deployed, you can provide the hostname and port of the new runtime. This hostname must be resolvable and reachable by the DataShyft cloud platform. You then assign a Display Name to the system that will be displayed throughout the website whenever this system is being referenced. You may provide an optional Description to store information about the system for later reference.
Once all the required fields are provided, click the Save New System button to create the system. The creation view will dismiss and you will be returned to the System List. You can select the new system from the list to view its details.
Registering a System
If a system shows a status of Unregistered, it will not be usable until the corresponding DataShyft Customer Runtime has been registered with it. This can be accomplished by selecting the system in the Systems List to open the System Details view on the right side of the page. Clicking the Register System button will navigate you to the Runtime Management Interface to complete the registration process.
Unregistering a System
To unregistered a System from its corresponding DataShyft Customer Runtime, select the system from the list. In the System Details view, click the Manage System button. This will navigate you to Runtime Management Interface where you can unregister the runtime.
Editing a System
The System Details view allows you edit certain aspects of the System, such as the display name, hostname, port, and description. To make edits, edit the value displayed in the fields and click the Update System button. Be aware that change the hostname or port could cause the system to change to an Offline or Disconnected status if they do not match the actual host and port of the corresponding Runtime.
Deleting a System
The System Details view allows you to delete a System from the tenant. Before removing a system you should first ensure that there are no deployments running on it. Once all deployments have been stopped, you should also unregister the system. Once the system is unregistered, it can be deleted without issue.
