Assets in Information Governance Catalog New

Find out what asset types you can view in Information Governance Catalog New and how they are added.

Adding data

The data that you can view in Information Governance Catalog New is automatically synchronized with assets that are available in earlier InfoSphere® Information Governance Catalog and producers.

Producers are applications that collect relevant data on systems like Db2®, Hive, Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), Oracle, or Teradata. These applications monitor activity on the systems and generate information that helps improve the quality of search results. You can find the producers in the IS_suite/DatabaseSupport/GraphProducers directory of the IBM® InfoSphere Information Server installation media, where IS_suite is the directory where you extracted the media. Before you can use them, you must configure them. For configuration details, see the technote IBM InfoSphere Information Server 11.7 Kafka producers.

Important: In some cases, data is not synchronized automatically, and you must synchronize data manually. For more information about such cases and the procedure, see Synchronizing assets manually.
