Ingest Datasets Workflow

This workflow allows you to ingest datasets into ApertureDB, from a selection of preconfigured public datasets. This provides an easy way to get started with ApertureDB, and to see how it can be used with real data. Once you have experimented with the datasets, you can upload your own data to ApertureDB.

For more detailed information about what this workflow is doing, see the dataset-ingestion documentation in GitHub.

Creating the workflow​

For general information on creating workflows in ApertureDB Cloud see Creating and Deleting Workflows.

Configure your workflow by selecting:

  • Which instance to use. If you only have one instance, there will be no options to select.
  • The dataset to ingest. We have preconfigured a number of datasets for you to choose from. Two are shown here, but more may be available in the future.

Setup Your Workflow

Once you have filled in the fields, click "Submit". Your workflow will be created and will start running.

See the results​

If you go to the "My Instances" page and click on "Connect" for the instance you used, you will see an option to go to the Web UI for your instance. You will see the number of objects in the database increase as the workflow runs. Click on the refresh button to update the count.
