Enable Data Marketplace

To start using the out-of-the-box Data Marketplace experience, several settings can be enabled.
In new environments, the main Data Marketplace setting is enabled by default. You can enable additional settings to activate specific features.

Before you begin

The Settings landing page is enabled.

Required permissions

You have the ADMIN or SUPER role in Collibra Console.

Steps

  1. Open the DGC service settings for editing:
    1. Open Collibra Console.
      Collibra Console opens with the Infrastructure page.
    2. In the tab pane, expand an environment to show its services.
    3. In the tab pane, click the Data Governance Center service of that environment.
    4. Click Configuration.
    5. Click Edit configuration.
  2. In the Data Marketplace section, enable the Data Marketplace setting:
    SettingDescription
    Data Marketplace
    • True (default): Data Marketplace is enabled. Anyone with the required permissions can use or configure the Data Marketplace application from the Applications icon .

      Note When Data Marketplace is enabled and you reindex Collibra completely, the relations are also reindexed automatically. You don't need to start it manually. However, reindexing the relations will not reindex Collibra completely.

    • False: Data Marketplace is not enabled.

    After you enable this setting, reindex Data Marketplace relations or reindex Collibra completely.

    Note In new Collibra environments, this setting is enabled by default. In upgraded Collibra environments, the previous status of this setting is retained.

  3. Optionally, enable the following settings in Search index configuration:

    Setting

    Description

    Relation-based search
    • True (default): The Data Marketplace search considers certain assets and relation types between assets. As a result, your search results not only include assets that directly match the search criteria, but also assets that match the criteria through specific relation types.

      Example A column named Order is included in a data set named Customer. If the relation-based search is enabled and you search for Order in Data Marketplace, then the data set Customer appears in the search results because the data set contains this column.

      Tip For more information about this feature and the default relation types, go to Filtering and searching based on relations in Data Marketplace.

    • False: The Data Marketplace search results do not consider relations.

    After you enable this setting, you must reindex Data Marketplace relations or reindex Collibra completely.

    Note In new Collibra environments, this setting is enabled by default. In upgraded Collibra environments, the previous status of this setting is retained.

    Automatic relation indexing

    This setting is specific to Data Marketplace.

    This setting keeps Data Marketplace up to date if relations between assets are created, updated, or removed.

    Example If the relation between asset A and asset B changes and this relation is used in relation-based filters or relation-based search, then the Data Marketplace search considers this change.

    • True: Automatically index certain relation type changes between assets so that the relation information remains consistent between Collibra and Data Marketplace. The relation types that are considered are the relation paths used by relation-based search and filters. If such a relation type between assets changes, the change is reflected in the search index after some time.
      Tip For more information about this feature and the default relation types, go to Filtering and searching based on relations in Data Marketplace.
      Note Collibra does not automatically reindex relations between assets for relation paths that end with an attribute. You need to manually reindex the relations.
      You, for example, created a path that ends with an attribute: Table A contains Column B with attribute Privacy. If you have a column with attribute Privacy and value "sensitive data", a user searching for "sensitive data" can find Table A based on the relation path. However, changes to the attribute value will not be picked up automatically during automatic reindexing.
    • False (default): Changes to relations are not automatically indexed. This can cause inconsistencies between Collibra and Data Marketplace. You can, however, manually reindex Data Marketplace relations.
  4. Optionally, enable the following setting in Beta Features:

    Data Marketplace Advanced Filter Settings

    Enable this setting to try out saving personal filters and preconfigured filters for user groups in Data Marketplace.

    • True: The advanced filters can be used in Data Marketplace.
      • Data consumers can save a set of filters that they use frequently as a personal filter.
      • Data Marketplace administrators can save a set of filters and make it available only to a specific user group or to all user groups.
    • False: (default): The beta feature is not enabled.
      • Data consumers cannot create personal saved filters.
      • Data Marketplace administrators can save a set of filters and make it available to all user groups.

    Collections

    Enable this setting to activate the use of collections in Data Marketplace.

    • True: Collections can be used in Data Marketplace.
      • Users can add an asset to a collection from an asset preview in Data Marketplace. They can also remove an asset from a collection from the asset preview.
      • Users can access and manage all their collections from an overview page via their avatar → Collections.
    • False: (default): The beta feature is not enabled.
      • When disabled, collections are not accessible via the UI.
      • Existing collections are not removed.
  5. Click Save all.
  6. If you have enabled Data Marketplace or Relation-based search setting, reindex Data Marketplace relations or reindex Collibra completely.
