  • 1.  Not able to access Data Virtualization with AutoAI on Cloud Pak for Data

    Posted Tue March 22, 2022 11:49 AM
    I sold a concept of Data Science Citizen connected to a Data Fabric, but the project has an issue accessing tables, we can't access data on Data Virtualization using Watson AutoAI.

    Our Data Science citizen can't consume date from this layer.

    I have come across this as well in a POC with a client where we use Data Virtualization extensively. Looking at the AutoAI documentation you can see that Data Virtualization is not one of the supported connection types -> https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/4.0?topic=models-autoai#autoai-data-use

    Create a support ticket at https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/ or create a feature request at https://hybridcloudunit-internal.ideas.aha.io/?project=CPDIDEAS

    In the meantime you need to convert data from the DV connection to a CSV. You can do that either using a Data Refinery job in your project or you can write a simple Python script to load data from the connection into a Pandas Dataframe and then simply write it out to a CSV. Ping me if you need those few lines of Python.

    Good luck

    You could consider creating a Db2 connection (which is supported according to that link Henrik shared) to DV, seeing that DV is running the Db2 BigSQL engine and therefore uses the same driver package. Haven't tried this myself to be honest, but worth a try I would say :-)
