As needed, the  can be installed as PostgreSQL DBs on Amazon RDS. Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. 

Limitations

Installation of the on a remote server of which you do not have full administrative control requires additional configuration and cross-migration that is not covered in this documentation. Before you begin, please contact .

Pre-requisites

NOTE: You can use the suggested defaults below for sizing your RDS instance. If you have questions or concerns about sizing recommendations, please contact .

Initialize RDS instance

Steps:

  1. In your RDS dashboard, click Launch a DB instance. 

    NOTE: The RDS instance must be launched in the same Amazon region as the .

  2. For Select Engine: Select PostgresSQL.
  3. For Production?:  Choose Yes if you are deploying the database for a production instance of the .  Otherwise, select No. 
  4. DB Engine: postgres

  5. For the DB details, see below:

    NOTE: Except as noted below, properties should be specified according to your enterprise requirements.

    1. Instance Specifications:

      1. License Model: postresql-license
      2. DB Engine Version: For more information on the supported versions of PostgreSQL, see System Requirements in the Planning Guide.

      3. Allocated Storage: at least 10 GB

  6. For Advanced Settings, please apply the following settings:

    1. Network and Security:

      1. VPC security group must allow for access from the . 

    2. Database Options:

      1. Database Name: trifacta

      2. Database Port: 5432

        1. The port number can be changed as needed. See System Ports in the Planning Guide.

  7. Populate other properties according to your enterprise requirements.

  8. To complete the set up click Launch DB Instance.

  9. Create a master username and password for the DB instance.

    NOTE: In the configuration instructions listed below, this master username is referenced as: trifacta_rds.

  10. When the RDS DB instance is up and running, please collect the following information, which is used later:

    1. Public DNS
    2. Port Number
    3. Admin username
    4. Admin password

Configure the  for RDS

Please complete the following steps to integrate the  with the DB instance you just created.

Steps:

  1. In the RDS console, you must find the Public DNS endpoint for the RDS instance you created: 

    1. Under Instances, expand the name of the instance you created.

    2. The DNS endpoint should be listed under the name in the Endpoint section.

  2. Set the host for each database to the Public DNS endpoint for the RDS instance:

    DatabaseParameter
    Main databasewebapp.database.host
    Jobs database batch-job-runner.database.host
    Scheduling database scheduling-service.database.host
    Time-based Trigger database time-based-trigger-service.database.host
    Configuration Service databaseconfiguration-service.database.host

    Artifact Storage Service database

    		artifact-storage-service.database.host
    Job Metadata Service databasejob-metadata-service.database.host
    Authorization Service databaseauthorization-service.database.host

    Optimizer Service databaseoptimizer-service.database.host
    Secure Token Service databasesecure-token-service.database.host
    Connector Configuration Service databaseconnector-configuration-service.database.host

    For more information, see Database Parameter Reference.

  3. To set custom database names, usernames, and passwords:

    1. Edit . 

    2. For each database, you can review the database name, username, and password. 

      DatabaseParameter area
      Main databasewebapp.database.*
      Jobs databasebatch-job-runner.database.*
      Scheduling databasescheduling-service.database.*

      Optimizer Service databaseoptimizer-service.database.*
      Secure Token Service databasesecure-token-service.database.*
      Connector Configuration Service databaseconnector-configuration-service.database.*
    3. Make changes in the file as needed and save.

Create the databases

NOTE: For the host, port, username, and password values in the following configuration, use the public DNS value for the RDS instance.

From the , switch to the Postgres user and run the following commands against the RDS Host for the master username:

su - postgres
psql -h <endpoint of RDS Instance> -U trifacta_rds postgres


NOTE: postgres is the name of the existing/default database.

 
Please do the following for each database, which initializes the DB and assigns the trifacta role to the trifacta_rds master username:

:
