Locating DW Cloud System ID
The Cloud System ID is a unique identifier (alphanumeric) that is generated for a System 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 System ID:
- Open a web browser and navigate to the DW Cloud Portal.
- Log in to your DW Cloud Account.
- The System Tiles will display, each representing a System that your DW Cloud account is attached to.
Click on the System that you want the Cloud System ID from.
Note: Do not click on the Open in DW Spectrum button. This will prompt DW Spectrum Client to launch on your computer.
- The Cloud System ID can now be found appended at the end of the URL.
