Cannot access assets in the catalog in Watson Query

When you try to access Watson Query assets in IBM® Knowledge Catalog, the access is denied.

Symptoms

Creating a rule based on data class blocks access to all Watson Query assets in the catalog that are not profiled.

Resolving the problem

Profiling needs to be run so that proper data classes are assigned to columns before the assets can be evaluated for the rules, which are based on data classes.
