• Verifying the Storage Bucket URL using cURL

I’m having problems creating a service

On the Stack Manager dashboard, open the Stack Create and Delete History pane.Click Details to see why provisioning failed. Maybe you entered an invalid bucketURL? If you’re not sure what to do, contact Oracle Support for assistance.

How do I diagnose other issues?

If you experience issues with your service, contact Oracle Support for assistance.

When do I contact Oracle Support?

If you encounter a problem creating a service, record any error messages you see inthe user interface, and contact Oracle Support for assistance.

Contact Oracle Support, after your service is up and running, if you want to:

• Stop your service.

• Restart your service.

Contact Oracle Support if you want help with your service:

• You experience performance issues.

• Your service isn't available.

• You want to restore your service from a backup.

• You want to add more block storage.

Verifying the Storage Bucket URL using cURLWhen you set up Oracle Autonomous Analytics Cloud you need to specify detailsabout the storage bucket that you created in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for snapshotsand analytics data sets. If the details you provide aren’t correct, service creation fails.

5-1

To avoid such failures, you can test the URL of the bucket you plan to use before youcreate your service. You can test the URL using cURL.

The storage bucket URL isn't displayed on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console butyou can construct the URL yourself from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure storageinformation:

• Region

• Namespace

• Bucket name

You can find this information in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console. See SettingUp a Cloud Storage Bucket.

Bucket URL format:

https://swiftobjectstorage.{region}.oraclecloud.com/v1/{namespace}/{bucket}

cURL command to test:

curl -k -i https://swiftobjectstorage.{region}.oraclecloud.com.com/v1/{namespace}/

{bucket} -u 'user:password'

Sample values:

• region = us-phoenix-1

• namespace = oacpaas1

• bucket = MyAnalyticsCloudStorage

• user = [email protected]

• password = password

For example:

curl -k -i https://swiftobjectstorage.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/v1/oacpaas1/

MyAnalyticsCloudStorage -u '[email protected]:password'

The URL is formatted correctly to get the response: HTTP/1.1 200 OKHTTP/1.1 200 OK

For example:

HTTP/1.1 200 OKHTTP/1.1 200 OKDate: Thu, 03 May 2018 06:01:13 GMT Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 2 Connection: keep-alive Accept-Ranges: none X-Trans-Id: aab6337f-7be3-5974-721a-c28aeb45bba5 X-Timestamp: 1525327273.18700 opc-request-id: aab6337f-7be3-5974-721a-c28aeb45bba5 Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST,PUT,GET,HEAD,DELETE,OPTIONS Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Accept-Ranges,Access-Control-Allow-Credentials,Access-Control-Allow-Methods,Access-Control-Allow-Origin,Content-Length,Content-Type,Date,X-Timestamp,X-Trans-Id,opc-client-info,opc-request-id
