Jitterbit Cloud Datastore (Beta) for Jitterbit Harmony
Overview
Jitterbit Cloud Datastore (Beta) is Jitterbit's cloud-based storage system, where you can create storages and manage their data through the Management Console Cloud Datastore (Beta) page and the Cloud Datastore (Beta) connector.
Note
You must request access to the Jitterbit Cloud Datastore (Beta) feature to use all Harmony components for Cloud Datastore. For beta access and to provide feedback, contact the Jitterbit Product Team.
Cloud Datastore offers these benefits:
- Store and access data within Jitterbit without external databases.
- Reduce API calls and optimize workflows by caching frequently used data.
- Store operation status and key data points for better monitoring and debugging.
Cloud Datastore offers two storage types:
-
Status storage: Temporary storage intended to be used for tracking endpoint data that changes (such as statuses and retry logic). This storage serves as a real-time reference for operational states without permanent data persistence. Status storage data is retained for a maximum of 90 days. However, once data reaches Processed status, it's automatically deleted after 60 days.
-
Key storage: Long-term storage for key-value pairs and structured data, such as lookup tables and reference data. Data in a key storage is retained until it is explicitly deleted.
Warning
Cloud Datastore (Beta) is not recommended for storing sensitive information such as passwords or endpoint credentials, as the data returned by its activities are in plain text.
Prerequisites
To store data using Cloud Datastore, you must configure these Harmony components:
-
Cloud Datastore (Beta) storages: Create a status storage or key storage for your data.
-
Cloud Datastore access token: To interact with Cloud Datastore in your Integration Studio projects, you must have a Cloud Datastore access token for the storage's configured environment.
-
Cloud Datastore (Beta) connector: Use the connector to interact with your Cloud Datastore storages through these activities:
Connector activity Action Create Storage activity Create a new status storage or key storage. Delete Items activity Delete data from a status storage or key storage. Delete Storage activity Delete a status storage or key storage. Get Metrics activity Retrieve usage data for the specified status storage or key storage. Insert Items activity Insert new data into a status storage or key storage. Query Items activity Read data from a status storage or key storage. Update Items activity Update existing data in a status storage or key storage.
