Self-Service/Jet Stream migration to DCT
Self-Service is a feature that helps manage data within environments autonomously, while Jet Stream aimed to provide more granular control over the data in those environments. These features are now utilized through Data Control Tower, adding a vast array of additional enhancements to provide full control and offer in-depth insight for your data.
Bookmark and permission import
A method is available to import bookmarks from a Self-Service/Jet Stream engine into DCT. The imported bookmarks from the engine are tagged with the bookmark_source "ENGINE”, since they are initially managed by the engine. Consequently, any modifications made to these bookmarks on the engine will also be reflected in DCT.
To transition these engine-managed bookmarks into DCT-managed bookmarks, an API is provided that handles the process. It converts the engine-managed bookmarks into DCT-managed and removes both the bookmarks and their parent on the engine. When the API triggers the conversion of engine-managed bookmarks to DCT-managed, a background job is initiated in DCT. This job retrieves all bookmarks and their respective containers/templates from Self-Service/Jet Stream.
If the job runs for a container on Self-Service, it may have assigned owners. These owners must be brought into DCT. The list of owners is available in the container and the details are retrievable from the engine. Subsequently, the job imports all valid owners (those with an email address) into DCT.
If there is not an account in DCT with the same email, a new account is created; otherwise, the creation process is skipped. In either scenario, the container-linked VDB IDs and its template data-source IDs are added to these accounts with predefined roles. Upon job completion, the accounts in DCT, whether created or updated, will have the ability to perform the same operations on bookmarks or their datasets as in self-service.
The two new roles introduced are as follows:
self-service-data-operator-system-role(for adding IDs of container data sources)self-service-data-viewer-system-role(for adding IDs of template data sources)
The process to import bookmarks runs automatically every four (4) hours, but can also be initiated manually.
