You can create a data product by adding assets from a project. Projects are used for data products containing SQL queries or when you do not have access to IBM Knowledge Catalog. With an SQL query, you can customize consumers' view of a data and generate data joins. By customizing the consumer's view on data, you can hide personal and sensitive information or create filters based on the consumer's request details. This means that data products can be reused more frequently as producers can edit the SQL query on the same data products to generate different views.

Before you begin, you must have the following:
- Valid credentials that verify a data source connection. Ensure that this connection is supported by Data Product Hub. For details, see Delivery methods for connectors.
Adding data assets to a project
- From the Data Product Hub navigation menu, click Projects > All projects.
- Open or create a project. Then, add new assets to populate your project.
- Adding data assets from a connection: Select the Connect to a data source tile and complete the fields with your credentials. Then, click Import assets and select the data assets from your connection that you want to add.
- Creating an SQL query: Select the Create a dynamic view of data tile and complete the indicated fields to define the query. Do not complete the Parameter set field.
Adding assets from a project to a data product
-
From the Data Product Hub homepage, select New data product and provide a name for your data product. Then, choose the Add from project tile.
-
Select the items from the project assets list that you want to add to your data product. You can expand the drop-down to view more details about each data asset.
Note: Only data assets with supported data connections are listed. -
Verify the connections of all assets. To verify a connection, click the connection status and complete the fields by providing credentials. Make sure that you use an appropriate set of credentials as these credentials are used to deliver the data product to consumers following a subscription.
-
Click Create draft to confirm your data asset selection. When your draft is successfully created, a static visualization of your data product is generated and viewable by the consumer.
Next steps
After you create your data product draft, see Completing a data product to finish preparing your data product for publication.
