The following known issues and limitations apply to Data Product Hub.
Known issues
Regional support
Data Product Hub is currently available in the US Dallas (us-south) and Australia (Sydney) au-syd regions. The region switcher lists other regions, but they are not supported at this time.
Visualization availability in the Sydney region
The visualization to preview the items in a data product is not available from the Australia (Sydney) - au-syd region.
Assign the Viewer role to the Data Product Hub Service ID (for early adopters)
If you provisioned Data Product Hub before May 2024, the IBM Cloud account administrator must explicitly assign the Data Product Hub > Viewer role to the Data Product Hub Service ID. This step is required only if the Data Product Hub service was provisioned before May 2024. The access policy is automatically assigned for Data Product Hub instances provisioned starting in May 2024.
Follow these steps to assign a role to the Service ID:
- As the account administrator or owner, open the Manage > Access(IAM) > Service IDs page for your IBM Cloud account.
- Search for the data-product-admin-service-id-xxxx Service ID and click it to open the Access page.
- If the Data Product Hub > Viewer role is not listed under Access policies, click Assign access.
- Choose the Data Product Hub Service and complete the steps to assign the Viewer role.
Limitations
Data protection rules are not enforced in data products
Data protection rules such as redaction, obfuscation, and substitution are not enforced in a data product. When you add items that contain data protection rules to a data product, edit the data asset to ensure that no sensitive information is exposed.
Use the API to delete connections that are in use
From the user interface, you cannot delete a connection that is in use by a published data product. Using the user interface, you must retire all the data products that use the connection before you can delete the connection. You can override the user interface by using the API. Use the following API call to delete a connection that is in use by one or more published data products:
Call the DELETE Connection
endpoint to delete connections. For example:
DELETE /v2/connections/{connection_id}
When a connection is deleted by using the API, the items in the data products that use the deleted connection cannot be delivered. If there are items in a data product that use other connections, those items will still be deliverable.
For details, see Delete connection.
