Option 3: Set up File GCP source for Google Store Sales

Video Walkthrough

Description:  

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) provides scalable cloud services, including secure file storage with Google Cloud Storage (GCS). By integrating GCP as a source in Datahash, you can pull Store Sales data files directly from a GCP bucket for seamless analysis and processing.

Pre-Requisites:  

Before you begin, ensure you have the following details:

  • GCP Bucket Name
  • GCP JSON Key (Service account credentials)
  • Relative Path to Data Folder (e.g., myfolder/salesdata)

Getting Started:  

Choose Data Entity  

  • Select Store Sales as the data entity.
  •  Provide a name for your file source.
  • Click Next.

Download Sample File  

  • Download the sample file to review the required structure.
  • Prepare your sales data in the same format.
  • Upload the file into your GCP bucket.

Provide GCP Credentials  

Enter the following details to allow Datahash to access your data:

  • GCP Bucket Name – The bucket created in the Google Cloud Storage Console.
  • GCP JSON Key – A JSON file containing service account credentials that grants Datahash access to the bucket.
  • Relative Path to Data Folder – Path where your sales data file is stored (e.g., myfolder/thistable).
  • Click Validate Credentials.
  • Once validation succeeds, click Finish to complete the setup.
  • The connected instance will now appear in your dashboard.

Managing Instances  

Adding a New Instance  

  • Follow the same setup steps as above.
  • Select the data entity and provide a new file source name.
  • Provide the file name  & click on Next.
  • Provide the access credentials for authentication.
  • Enter GCP credentials and click Validate Credentials.
  • Click Finish.
  • The new instance (e.g., Ads Connection 2) will appear in the Manage Connections table.

Editing an Existing Instance  

  • From the Manage Connections table, click on the connection name you want to edit.
  • Click on the Edit option (top-right corner).
  • Update the required field(s).
  • Click Validate Credentials to confirm changes.
  • Click Finish to save and apply.
  • If you click Cancel during editing, the existing configuration will remain active. Updates are only applied once you click Finish.
