Enable standalone Data Marketplace and set up Data Marketplace

Important 

In Collibra 2024.05, we launched a new user interface (UI) for Collibra Data Intelligence Platform! You can learn more about this latest UI in the UI overview.

Use the following options to see the documentation in the latest UI or in the previous, classic UI:

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

Important We plan to replace standalone Data Marketplace with Data Marketplace in Search in the future. To prepare for this transition, check the information in Moving from standalone Data Marketplace to Data Marketplace in Search.

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
    Standalone Data Marketplace

    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.

    Tip Data Marketplace in search does not need to be enabled separately. With the correct permissions people can use Data Marketplace in Search and configure it.

  3. Verify whether you want to enable following settings in Search index configuration:

    Setting

    Description

    Relation-based search

    True (default in new environments): 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.

    Maximum batch size for relation path preview

    The maximum batch size for the preview of a relation index.

    • Default value: 500
    • Minimum value: 50
    • Maximum value: 10,000
  4. Optionally, enable the following setting in Beta Features:

    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 the Data Marketplace or Relation-based search setting, reindex Data Marketplace relations or reindex Collibra completely.
