Enabling additional features after installation or upgrade for watsonx.data intelligence

After installing or upgrading watsonx.data intelligence, you can enable additional features available with watsonx.data intelligence.

During the initial install or during the upgrade of watsonx.data intelligence, you can enable a number of features. However, if you decide not to enable some features at that time, you can still do so after the initial install or after the upgrade.

For more information about the installation options, see Specifying installation options for services.
Important: Enabling any of these options will require additional hardware. For more information, see Hardware requirements.
Who needs to complete this task?
Instance administrator To enable additional features for watsonx.data intelligence, you must be an instance administrator.

To enable additional features, run this patch command with the appropriate installation option as input value for the --patch parameter:

cpd-cli manage update-cr \
--component=watsonx_dataintelligence \
--cpd_instance_ns=${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} \
--cpd_operator_ns=${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERATORS} \
--patch="{\"<install_option>\":True,}"
If you plan to enable multiple additional features at once, use the following format to specify the installation options:
--patch="{\"<install_option1>\":True,\"<install_option2>\":True}"

Each key-value pair must be separated by a comma without a space.

For some of the installation options, you must complete additional setup steps or need to consider additional requirements:

Knowledge graph
Installation parameter: enableKnowledgeGraph
After you enable the knowledge graph, you must synchronize governance artifacts. Use the following API for updating the categories, business terms, data classes, reference data sets, etc. in the knowledge graph. Replace $HOST by the host name and port number used in the IBM Cloud Pak for Data UI. You must have the manage_glossary permission to complete this task. This permission is available in Administrator platform role.
  1. Follow the steps in Generating an API authorization token to generate an API key.
  2. Start the synchronization:
    curl -k -X POST "https://$HOST/v3/glossary_terms/admin/resync?artifact_type=<artifact_type>&sync_destinations=KNOWLEDGE_GRAPH" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "Accept: application/json" --header "Authorization: ZenApiKey ${TOKEN}" -d '{}'
    • The allowed values for the artifact_type parameter are category, glossary_term, classification, data_class, reference_data, policy, rule.
    • Start with category, then continue with glossary_term, classification, data_class, reference_data, policy, and rule.
      Note: category_ids are glossary category IDs for governance artifacts. Choosing specific category_ids will set that group of governance artifacts to be used. If no category_ids are set, then all categories will be synchronized.
Data quality
Installation parameter: enableDataQuality
Important: Enabling this option will install DataStage with watsonx.data intelligence. To ensure a smooth installation of this feature, see Installing DataStage.

If you did not purchase a DataStage license, use of the DataStage Enterprise service installed with watsonx.data intelligence is limited to creating, managing, and running data quality rules.

Examples of accepted usage:
  • Preprocessing of data to enable running data quality rules
  • Transformation of data to remediate data quality issues
Generative AI capabilities
Installation parameter: enableGenerativeAI
Important: Depending on the selection of capabilities and the model configuration, these capabilities might require GPU and that the NVIDIA GPU Operator and the Red Hat® OpenShift® AI Operator are installed. Additionally, the inference foundation models (watsonx_ai_ifm) might be installed.
