Getting started with Pulse on the Cubewise Cloud
This article gathers the steps that need to be completed when using Pulse on the Cubewise cloud monitoring IBM Planning Analytics SaaS:
Requesting IBM security keys
In order for Pulse to connect to your IBM Cloud environments, Pulse will require few security keys provided by IBM. To get these keys, please contact your local Cubewise contact and we will help you to request these keys to IBM.
Once you received the security keys from IBM, send them to your Cubewise local contact and you will then receive a URL to access Pulse.
How to access Pulse
The URL that will be sent to you will look like this:
https://companyName.pulse.cubewisecloud.com/
