How to connect dashDB (on Bluemix) with object storage (on Bluemix)?

I am using Public Bluemix. I provided an instance of the dashDB service using my IBM ID on Bluemix. I also provided an object storage service. I would like to upload files from Object Storage to dashDB.

When I try to define a load task in dashDB to retrieve a file from the object store, I have a problem.

dashDB allows me to select Amazon S3 or Swift Object Store as the data source. I selected "Swift" and then provided the following Bluemix object storage service credentials.

  • Public Authentication Endpoint: https://identity.open.softlayer.com
  • Username: as indicated in my Bluemix File Store credentials user name
  • API access key: as indicated in my Bluemix Object Storage credential password

Then I clicked Browse Fast Files, waiting to see the files that exist in my Bluemix object storage container. But it shows me just an empty folder and files.

I need to understand the method for connecting Bluemix dashDB to the Bluemix object store. Please, help.

I'm having problems getting this to work.

At first I found an answer to dWAnswers that said that this might not be supported.

Edit:

The Bluemix support team returned to me with the following message:

Swift Bluemix SoftLayer.
