Connect to a DRS server

Connect to a DRS server

To be able to import files from open or known external sources (such as CGC Powered by Seven Bridges and BioData Catalyst Powered by Seven Bridges), you will first need to create a connection to the environment you are importing files from, using the DRS endpoint of the specific environment.

To connect to another environment via DRS:

1. Click your username in the upper right corner and select Account Settings.
2. Click the Dataset Access tab.

3. Find the section for the environment you want to connect via DRS and click Connect. 
4. If you are not already logged into your account in the environment you are connecting to, you will now be asked to log in. Once completed, your CAVATICA account is connected to the specified environment and you can start importing files using the import via DRS feature.

This connection will automatically expire in 30 days. You can disconnect your accounts at any time.

2. Click the Dataset Access tab.
3. Find the section for the environment you want to disconnect.
