How to connect MASV with IBM Cloud

Integrate MASV with IBM Cloud

You can connect MASV with IBM Cloud, an enterprise cloud platform. By integrating MASV with Amazon S3-compatible IBM Cloud, you can simplify and accelerate how you save files to or send files from your IBM Cloud storage. 

Note: For information about activating IBM Cloud integrations, please contact support@masv.io.

Information you'll need to have ready

To make the process go smoothly, have the following information on hand, referring to your IBM Cloud documentation as needed:

  • IBM Cloud bucket name and region: The IBM bucket name for your storage, including the region. 

  • IBM Cloud Access Key ID and Access Key Secret

  • File path: Know the destination (the directory within your bucket) where you want to deliver or retrieve the files.

Note: MASV integrations support Standard (active) IBM Cloud storage only. Cold storage (Vault) is not supported.

To integrate IBM Cloud with MASV

  1. In the MASV Web App, as a Team Owner, Admin, or Integration Manager (role), from the sidebar on the left, select Integrations.

  2. On the Integrations page, select the Available Integrations tab.

  3. Select IBM Cloud.

  4. In the Add Integration window, type a meaningful name in the Connection Name box. This name will help you identify the connection in your My Integrations list.
  5. In the Transfer Direction area, select one of the following options:
    1. Save to Cloud: For inbound files, MASV transfers files to storage.
    2. Send from Cloud: For outbound files, MASV transfers files out of storage. Note: Storage Class must be set to active storage (Vault not supported).
  6. Enter or select the following information:   

    1. Bucket: Type the name of the IBM Cloud bucket

    2. Access Key ID: Copy and paste the IBM Access Key ID.

    3. Secret Access Key: Copy and paste the IBM Secret.

    4. Region: Select the region that matches your bucket location.masv-add-integration-ibm-cloud-3

  7. Choose any of the following settings in Folder Options:

    1. (Optional for Save to storage)To set a relative path, type a path in the Target Subdirectory box. You can edit this directory from the MASV Web App as needed. 
    2. (Optional for Save to storage) If you want to save the files in a directory that uses the package name, clear the checkbox. To deliver directly into the Target Subdirectory, select the checkbox.
    3. (Optional for Send from storage) To limit access to a specific folder/directory, in Source Directories, type a relative path. You can edit this directory from the MASV Web App as needed.
  8. In Sidecar Options, select the Upload transfer manifest checkbox if you want to pass a manifest file for the transfer.

  9. Select the Connect button.

  10. Refresh the page, and select the My Integrations tab to confirm that OK appears in the Status column.

That's it! After authentication, the service is connected with MASV. You can now:

Tip: You can change the Target Subdirectory that you set in MASV at any time without creating a new integration. You can also append subdirectories to create a custom path when you associate the integration with a MASV Portal.
