Locating DW Cloud Site ID

The Cloud Site ID is a unique identifier (alphanumeric) that is generated for a Site at the time that it is initially connected to DW Cloud.  It is used for identifying resources and follows a standard format described in RFC 4122.

 

To locate the Cloud Site ID:

  1. Open a web browser and navigate to the DW Cloud Portal.

 

  1. Log in to your DW Cloud Account.

 

  1. The Site Tiles will display, each representing a Site that your DW Cloud account is attached to.

Click on the Site that you want the Cloud Site ID from.

 

Note:  Do not click on the Open in DW Spectrum button. This will prompt DW Spectrum Client to launch on your computer.

 

  1. The Cloud Site ID can now be found appended at the end of the URL.
