Before you manage data contracts and their manifest file, make sure you have reviewed the preflight checks and have the required permissions.
Review the preflight checks
- Your environment has been enabled for Data Products and Data Contracts.
- To initialize and access a Data Contract from the Output ports viewer widget, make sure that the widget is part of your Data Product asset page layout and that your Data Product Port is connected to the Data Product through the 'is output port' relation. A Data Product Port asset can have only one linked Data Contract asset.
- If you want the Data Contract to include a Schema section mentioning tables and columns when generating the Data Contract from Collibra, the Data Product Port must be linked to a physical Table, View, or Schema that contains one or more Tables or Views, and the Table or View should contain columns.
- You have the required permissions to manage data contracts.
