Registering Azure Blob Data Source


To use an external Azure Blob data source, you first need to configure the cloud region where the database is located in Azure, the storage account credentials for accessing the Blob object storage, and other relevant data source information.

Prerequisites


Before you begin, ensure the following:

  • Your account has been granted the required asset permissions, operation permissions, and menu group access. If not assigned, contact OU administrator.

  • You have obtained the detailed connection configuration of the data source, including the server IP address, port number, database name, access credentials, password, etc.

Procedure


  1. Log in to the EnOS Application Portal, and select Data > Data Source Registration from the left navigation bar.

  2. Click Add Data Source.

  3. On the Add Data Source page, complete the following configurations:

    Basic Information:

    • Data Source Type (Required): Select BLOB.

    • Data Source Name (Required): Enter a name for the data source. The maximum length is 50 characters, and the name can consist of:

      • Letters

      • numbers

      • _ (underscore)

      • - (hyphen)

    • Data Source Description: Enter a description for the data source. The maximum length is 100 characters and supports internationalization (default, Chinese, English).


    Configuration Information:

    • Authentication Method：Select Account Name+Key or SAS Token.

    • Storage Domain (Required): Select the Azure cloud region where the Blob database is located.

    • Account Name (Required): Enter the storage account name for accessing the Blob database.

    • Account Key/SAS Token:：Depending on authentication method, enter either the access key or SAS Token for signing requests to the Blob storage.

  4. Click Test to verify the connectivity of the data source.

  5. After a successful test, click Confirm.

    • Connectivity is not validated during data source creation. A data source can still be created even if the connectivity test fails.

    • If the connectivity test fails five times consecutively, the account will be locked for 10 minutes.

Outcome


Once the data source is successfully registered, it will appear in the Data Source Registration list. Users can view basic information about all data sources within the OU, but only the creator can modify or delete their registered data sources. For more details, see Managing Data Source.
