Post-installation setup for Data Product Hub

5.0.1 or later Log in to initialize Data Product Hub

After installing Data Product Hub, the user with the admin or cpadmin role must log in to initialize Data Product Hub. When the cpadmin logs in for the first time, Data Product Hub is automatically initialized.

Initialization performs several automatic steps to configure Data Product Hub for use by your data community. A catalog is created with associated sample data products, delivery methods, workflows, and domains. The internal functional user is configured to make API calls.

After the cpadmin logs in for the first time to initialize Data Product Hub, the next steps are:

1. Switch to the Data Product Hub experience. Click the Switch platform icon next to your avatar and select Data Product Hub.

2. Add users to Cloud Pak for Data in Access control. Then add members to the Data Product Hub community and assign collaborator roles in Administration>Configurations and settings>Manage community.

5.0.0 only Assign the Data Product Functional Administrator role to one user and log in to initialize Data Product Hub

After installing Data Product Hub, the cpadmin must either assign or become the role of Data Product Functional Administrator. Ensure that the Data Product Functional Administrator is assigned to only one user.

The Data Product Functional Administrator is a functional user that initializes the data product catalog and makes API calls within the service. The Functional Administrator can access all assets and connections used in published data products and owns the functional credentials for each connection. A Functional Administrator user is required, and only one Functional Administrator is allowed.

Initialization performs several automatic steps to configure Data Product Hub for use by your data community. A catalog is created with associated sample data products, delivery methods, workflows, and domains. The functional user is configured to make API calls.

As the Cloud Pak for Data cpadmin, you can either assign the Data Product Functional Administrator role to another user or you can assume the Data Product Functional Administrator role yourself.

To assign the Data Product Functional Administrator role:

1. From the navigation menu, select Administration>Access control.
2. Add a user from the Users tab.
3. Assign the Data Product Functional Administrator role to the new user.
4. Optionally, if you are the cpadmin user, you can assign the Data Product Functional Administrator role to yourself.

There are two options for initializing Data Product Hub:

1. Once they have assigned the Data Product Functional Administrator role to one user, the cpadmin opens the Data Product Hub home page. When the home page is opened, the following events occur:

• As long as one and only one user is assigned the Data Product Functional Administrator role, then Data Product Hub will be initialized when the cpadmin opens the Data Product Hub home page.
• The user who is assigned the Data Product Functional Administrator role becomes the functional user for Data Product Hub.
• The cpadmin becomes the first administrator of Data Product Hub and can add community members and assign collaborator roles.

2. The cpadmin assigns the Data Product Functional Administrator role to themself and logs in to Data Product Hub. Data Product Hub is initialized when the cpadmin logs in. In this case, the cpadmin becomes the first administrator of Data Product Hub as well as the functional user. The cpadmin continues setting up Data Product Hub by adding community members and assigning collaborator roles.
