Provision the Data Product Hub service on IBM Cloud and choose a service pricing plan.
Required roles
The required roles depend on whether you are provisioning or initializing Data Product Hub.
Required roles for provisioning Data Product Hub
If you are the Owner of the IBM Cloud account, you have the required permissions to provision the Data Product Hub service. Other users who provision the service must be assigned the correct roles, as shown in the following table:
| Service name | IAM Platform roles | IAM Service access roles | Permissions |
|---|---|---|---|
| All Identity and Access enabled services | Administrator | Manager | All permissions in roles |
| All Account Management services | Editor | Not applicable | All permissions in roles |
| Data Product Hub | Any | Manager | •data-product-hub.dashboard.view •data-product-hub.catalog.manage |
Required roles for initializing Data Product Hub
To initialize the Data Product Hub, you must either be the IBM Cloud account Owner or Administrator, or be assigned the IAM Service role of Manager for the Data Product Hub service.
Provisioning Data Product Hub
Only one service instance of Data Product Hub is allowed for a IBM Cloud account at a time.
Follow these steps to provision the service:
- Log in to your IBM Cloud account.
- Open the Catalog and search for Data Product Hub.
- Select Data Product Hub and read about the service on the About tab.
- Select a pricing plan on the Create tab.
- Review and agree to the Terms.
- Click Create.
The service is added to your Resource list.
Initializing Data Product Hub
After the service is provisioned, the account owner or administrator, or someone with the Manager role for the Data Product Hub service, must log in to Data Product Hub to initialize the catalog for the account.
Upon the initial login, a catalog and the associated sample data products, delivery methods, workflows, and domains are created for the IBM Cloud account. The catalog tracks the data products and other work in Data Product Hub for the account.
Choosing a service plan
See Data Product Hub service plans for a description of available plans.
Deprovisioning Data Product Hub
Data products are associated with the IBM Cloud account, not with the Data Product Hub instance. When a Data Product Hub instance is deprovisioned, the underlying data products are placed in a suspended state. If a new instance is provisioned in the same account within 30 days, the suspended data products are recovered and made available to the user. Any data product that is in a suspended state beyond 30 days is expired and automatically deleted.
For the Essential plan, if the Data Product Hub service instance is inactive for 60 days, the data products are purged from the database.
