Creating Connection to R Data Science Environment
To connect Intellicus with the R Data Science Engine, you must first create a file system-based connection. This connection provides a shared location for data exchange between Intellicus and the engine.
Step 1: Create a File System Connection
Follow these steps to create a file system connection:
Log in to Intellicus.
Go to Navigate > Administration > Configure > Databases.
Click Add.
In the dialog, configure the following properties:
File System Connection Properties
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Connection Name | Enter a desired name for the connection. This name will be referenced while configuring the Data Science Engine connection. |
Provider | Select Files/Stream from the dropdown. |
Driver Type | Select Network Path to define the file save location. |
Location | Enter the shared file system path. This path is used for data exchange between Intellicus and the R engine. |
Read Only | Ensure this option is not selected. The path must support read/write access for both Intellicus and the engine. |
Click Test to verify the connection.
Click Save once you see the message Connection Test Succeeded.
Use Delete to remove the connection or Refresh Schema to reload metadata from the location.
Step 2: Create a Data Science Engine Connection
After the file system connection is created, configure a connection to the Data Science Engine:
Go to Navigate > Administration > Configure > Databases.
Click Add.
Configure the following properties:
Note
Ensure the R Data Science Engine is installed and running on the network before proceeding.
