Access to Google Cloud

To access Google cloud from PDI, you must have a Google account and service account credentials in the form of a JSON format key file. Additionally, you must set permissions for your Google Cloud accounts. To create service account credentials, see https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/authentication.

Perform the following steps to set up your system to use Google Cloud storage:

1. Download the service account credentials file that you have created using the Google API Console to your local machine.

2. Create a new system environmental variable on your operating system named GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS.

3. Set the path to the downloaded JSON service account credentials file as the value of the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS variable.

You are now ready to access files from the Google Cloud Storage file system in PDI.
