Accessing the Nitro Data lake from the NAC

Users can access the data files underlying the FTP and Intelligent Object connectors in their workspaces directly from the Nitro data lake using the NAC, instead of using tables in the data warehouse. This provides faster data access and faster data loading into dataframes for insight generation.

To access the Nitro Data Lake using an FTP or Intelligent Object connector:

Log into the NAC.
Select Inbound from the Connectors menu.
Select the connector to access the data you want to work with.
Select the S3 Credentials icon.
Select the Copy icon to copy the temporary tokens, bucket, and region information onto your clipboard.
Paste the information into your analytics code to access the Nitro data lake.

To access the Nitro Data Lake for a workspace:

Log into the NAC.
Select Workspaces from the side menu.
Select the workspace to access the data you want to work with.
Select the S3 Credentials icon.
Select the Copy icon to copy the temporary tokens, bucket, and region information onto your clipboard.
Paste the information into your analytics code to access the Nitro data lake.
