Examples

These examples show you how to create a connection to Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse from your Oracle Analytics instance.

• Example 1 - Create a wallet-less (TLS) connection to Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse
• Example 2 - Create a connection to Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse that uses a credentials wallet file cwallet.sso (Mutual TLS)

Note:

The JSON payload described in this topic is specific to Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse. The JSON payload format is different for other data sources. See Sample JSON Payloads for Supported Data Sources.

Example 1 Create a wallet-less (TLS) connection to Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse

In this example, you create a connection named oracle_ailakehouse_walletless. The request includes a simple JSON body (application/json). You can also designate a catalog folder to create your connection inside of with the filePath parameter.

cURL Example

First, create a JSON file that contains the properties required to create the connection. For example, create a JSON file called create_ailakehouse_walletless_connection.json that contains a payload that looks like this.

{
      "version": "2.0.0",
      "type": "connection",
      "name": "oracle_ailakehouse_walletless",
      "description": "Sample Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse connection without a wallet created using Connections API",
      "content": {    
        "connectionParams": {
           "connectionType": "oracle-autonomous-data-warehouse",
           "connectionString": "(description= (retry_count=20)(retry_delay=3)(address=(protocol=tcps)(port=1521)(host=adb.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com))(connect_data=(service_name=abcdefg1hijkl2m_adwwalletless_high.adb.oraclecloud.com))(security=(ssl_server_dn_match=yes)))",
           "folderPath": "users/admin/Connections",
           "username": "ADMIN",
           "password": "<<password>>",
           "systemConnection": false,        
           "remoteData": false,
           "sslType": "ServerSideSSL"
       }
     }
}

Then run the cURL command calling the JSON file (for example, create_ailakehouse_walletless_connection.json):

curl -i \
 --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
 --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 --request POST 'https://<hostname>/api/20210901/catalog/connections' \
 --data @create_ailakehouse_walletless_connection.json

Example of Response Header

Not applicable.

Example of Response Body

Make a note of the Base64URL encoded connectionId in the response body. Later on, you can use this value to update or delete this connection.

{"connectionID":"J2FkbWluJy4nb3JhY2xlX2FpbGFrZWhvdXNlX3dhbGxldGxlc3Mn"}

Example 2 Create a connection to Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse that uses a wallet file (Mutual TLS)

In this example, you create a connection named oracle_ailakehouse_with_wallet. The request body includes multipart/form-data, that is, requires both a wallet file cwallet.sso and Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse connection parameters.

cURL Example

Obtain the credentials wallet file from Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse. See Download Client Credentials (Wallets).

Determine the properties required to create the connection. The payload looks like this.

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "type": "connection",
    "name": "oracle_ailakehouse_with_wallet",
    "description":
      "Sample Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse connection with a wallet created using Connections API",   
      "content": {
       "connectionParams": {
         "connectionType": "oracle-autonomous-data-warehouse",
         "connectionString": "(description= (retry_count=20)(retry_delay=3)(address=(protocol=tcps) (port=1522)(host=adb.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com))(connect_data=(service_name=abcdefg1hijkl2m_walletadw_high.adwc.oraclecloud.com/))(security=(ssl_server_dn_match=yes)))",
         "username": "ADMIN",
         "password": "<<password>>",
         "remoteData": "false",   
         "systemConnection": false,
         "sslType": "ClientSideSSL"    
        }
      }
 }

Run the cURL command including the wallet file (cwallet.sso) and the connection properties.

curl -i \
 --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
 --request POST 'https://<hostname>/api/20210901/catalog/connections'  \
 --form 'cert=@"/Users/scott/Downloads/Wallet_ailakehouse/cwallet.sso"'        \
 --form 'connectionParams= "{ \
    "version": "2.0.0",       \
    "type": "connection",     \
    "name": "oracle_ailakehouse_with_wallet", \
    "description":  \
      "Sample Oracle Autonomous AI Lakehouse connection with a wallet created using Connections API",  \
      "content": {   \
       "connectionParams": { \
         "connectionType": "oracle-autonomous-data-warehouse",\
         "connectionString": "(description= (retry_count=20)(retry_delay=3)(address=(protocol=tcps) (port=1522)(host=adb.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com))(connect_data=(service_name=abcdefg1hijkl2m_walletadw_high.adwc.oraclecloud.com/))(security=(ssl_server_dn_match=yes)))", \
         "username": "ADMIN", \
         "password": "<<password>>", \
         "remoteData": "false",      \
         "systemConnection": false,  \
         "sslType": "ClientSideSSL"  \  
      }
   }
 }'
