Where can I find a list of the defined data products?​

The first page that a logged user sees is the My Data Products page. Here you can find a list of the data products for which you have access to the source repository as a developer or as an owner By clicking on a Data Product, the user can see its general details, and also access the repository where the metadata and code are stored. You can access this page by clicking on the witboost logo on the header or selecting My Data Products in the Builder menu.

Data Product details

If you want to visualize not only the data products you have access too but every data product deployed you should open the DP Catalog or DP Graph pages in the Marketplace menu. The only difference between the two pages is how the Data Mesh's Data Products are displayed: the former shows all of them in a table that makes it easy to search among them, while the second one can be used to better visualize the whole Data Mesh structure (domains hierarchy and how Data Products are related one another).

Marketplace catalog

Finally, from the Marketplace > Mesh Supervision page you can then check the overall status of the Data Mesh by looking at graphs that highlight different aspects of it: data consumption, questions and ratings, source vs consumed aligned Data Products distribution, etc.

What's the difference between DP Catalog, DP Graph and Software Catalog pages?​

The Software Catalog page (accessible in the Builder menu) contains all the entities managed by witboost. On this page, you can explore all kinds of entities, and not only Data Products. This page can be useful to see how many entities of a specific kind are handled by the product. By opening the DP Catalog or DP Graph pages in the Marketplace menu, you should be able to see your newly deployed Data Product among the ones already in the Data Mesh. The only difference between the two pages is how the Data Mesh's Data Products are displayed: the former shows all of them in a table that makes it easy to search among them, while the second one can be used to better visualize the whole Data Mesh structure (domains hierarchy and how Data Products are related one another). Marketplace catalog

Why isn't any of my data products on the "My Data Products" page listed in the Marketplace catalog?​

The most common reason is that you created a data product but you did not deploy it. Select your data product from Builder > My Data Products and go to the CONTROL PANEL tab and select a target environment. You can test your data product against environment policies, and create and deploy a data product version. Refer to the data product deploy section for further details here.

There are some policies that I cannot edit or delete. How can I remove or edit them?​

You will notice that some of the policies cannot be edited or deleted by clicking ⋮ and choosing the edit or delete option. That is because those policies are read-only and are not meant to be changed since they are the default policies that always need to be applied. Also, global policies apply to all the component policies of that data product.
