Use the Service console for administration tasks; Studio for exploring, transforming, and discovering data; Data Processing CLI for loading and updating data; SSH terminal for accessing the Big Data Discovery Cloud Service node in the Big Data Cloud Service cluster.
Here is a description of each of these interfaces:
- The BDDCS console is the main access point for you to start, stop, check the status, and back up your service instance. You see the console after you provision an instance. See Instance Life Cycle Tasks.
- The BDDCS Studio is the front-end application Big Data Discovery for exploring, transforming, and discovering data stored in a Big Data Cloud Service cluster. You access Studio from the BDDCS console. See Accessing Studio.
- The Data Processing CLI (DP CLI) is the command-line tool for automated loading of new data and updating existing data in BDDCS. You run this tool directly on the node hosting your service instance in the Big Data Cloud Service cluster. You can also run this tool programmatically and include it in your scripts. See About Data Processing.
- The SSH terminal lets you access the node hosting your service instance. See Accessing the service node in a cluster.
