Edge Manager Predix Cloud Service Configuration

You can add and configure existing cloud services in Edge Manager and assign them to devices, which enables the UAA client on the device to access the assigned cloud services.

Before you can configure services in Edge Manager, you must set those services up. All Predix services work with the UAA service. When you request Edge Manager, you can add your UAA service instance to your Edge Manager account, or if you do not already have a UAA service instance, one will be provisioned for you when you request Edge Manager.

The basic flow for service setup and configuration if you create your own service instances prior to requesting Edge Manager is as follows:

1. Create a UAA service instance.
2. Create a Predix Tenant Management (TMS) service instance and bind it to the UAA service instance you created.
3. Create additional Predix service instances, for example, Time Series or Event Hub, and bind it to the same UAA service instance.
4. Request Predix Edge Manager.
5. Configure the services in Edge Manager.
6. Add devices to Edge Manager and assign services.

   You can add services to single devices, or you can bulk assign services to a list of devices. Edge Manager sends the device information to the configured service to map the service to the device ID.

   Note: The operation for adding services to a large number of devices is asynchronous and may take some time to complete.

If you do not have existing service instances when you request Edge Manager, a UAA and TMS service instance are provisioned for you. You can add other services later—just make sure they are bound to the same UAA service instance as your Edge Manager instance.
