Installing MANTA Automated Data Lineage

An instance administrator can install MANTA Automated Data Lineage on IBM® Software Hub Version 5.2.

Who needs to complete this task?

Instance administrator To install MANTA Automated Data Lineage, you must be an instance administrator. An instance administrator has permission to install software in the following projects:

The operators project for the instance

The operators for this instance of MANTA Automated Data Lineage are installed in the operators project.

In the installation commands, the ${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERATORS} environment variable refers to the operators project.

The operands project for the instance

The custom resources for the control plane and MANTA Automated Data Lineage are installed in the operands project.

In the installation commands, the ${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} environment variable refers to the operands project.

When do you need to complete this task?

Review the following options to determine whether you need to complete this task:

  • If you want to install multiple services at the same time, follow the process in Running a batch installation of solutions and services instead.
  • If you didn't install MANTA Automated Data Lineage as part of a batch installation, complete this task to add MANTA Automated Data Lineage to your environment.

    Repeat as needed If you are responsible for multiple instances of IBM Software Hub, you can repeat this task to install more instances of MANTA Automated Data Lineage on the cluster.

Information you need to complete this task

Review the following information before you install MANTA Automated Data Lineage:

Version requirements

All of the components that are associated with an instance of IBM Software Hub must be installed at the same release. For example, if the IBM Software Hub control plane is installed at Version 5.2.2, you must install MANTA Automated Data Lineage at Version 5.2.2.

Environment variables

The commands in this task use environment variables so that you can run the commands exactly as written.

  • If you don't have the script that defines the environment variables, see Setting up installation environment variables.
  • To use the environment variables from the script, you must source the environment variables before you run the commands in this task. For example, run:
    source ./cpd_vars.sh
Security context constraint

MANTA Automated Data Lineage works with the default Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform security context constraint, restricted-v2.

Prerequisite services

Before you install MANTA Automated Data Lineage, ensure that the following services are installed and running:

Procedure

Complete the following tasks to install MANTA Automated Data Lineage:

  1. Installing the service
  2. Validating the installation
  3. What to do next

Installing the service

To install MANTA Automated Data Lineage:

  1. Log the cpd-cli in to the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster:
    ${CPDM_OC_LOGIN}
    Remember: CPDM_OC_LOGIN is an alias for the cpd-cli manage login-to-ocp command.
  2. Run the following command to create the required OLM objects for MANTA Automated Data Lineage in the operators project for the instance:
    cpd-cli manage apply-olm \
--release=${VERSION} \
--cpd_operator_ns=${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERATORS} \
--components=mantaflow
    Wait for the cpd-cli to return the following message before you proceed to the next step:
    [SUCCESS]... The apply-olm command ran successfully

    If the apply-olm fails, see Troubleshooting the apply-olm command during installation or upgrade.

Validating the installation

MANTA Automated Data Lineage is installed when the apply-cr command returns:
[SUCCESS]... The apply-cr command ran successfully

If you want to confirm that the custom resource status is Completed, you can run the cpd-cli manage get-cr-status command:

cpd-cli manage get-cr-status \
--cpd_instance_ns=${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} \
--components=mantaflow

What to do next

Your next steps depend on the version of IBM Software Hub that you installed:

Version 5.2.1 or later

MANTA Automated Data Lineage is ready to use. To get started with MANTA Automated Data Lineage, see Enabling lineage import.

Version 5.2.0
  1. Install the services that you need on this instance of IBM Software Hub
  2. Apply the IBM Software Hub Version 5.2.0 - Day 0 patch

    You must apply the patch to each instance of IBM Software Hub Version 5.2.0 that you install.

After you complete the preceding steps, MANTA Automated Data Lineage is ready to use. To get started with MANTA Automated Data Lineage, see Enabling lineage import.
