  Support for using passwords will be deprecated soon. We recommend that you use the OCI Vault option. For information, see OCI Vault Secrets and Oracle Wallets.

  1. Navigate to the workspace in which you want to create a data asset.

     For the steps to access a workspace, see Accessing a Workspace.

  2. On the workspace home page, click Data assets.
  3. On the Data assets page, click Create data asset.
     Data Integration displays the Select data asset type panel in which the data sources that you can select are organized in the following connector type groups:

     • All: (Default) All the types of data sources that are supported.
     • RDBMS: The relational database type of data sources such as Oracle Database and Autonomous Data Warehouse.
     • File and Big Data: Data sources such as OCI Object Storage and HDFS.
     • Application: Application data sources such as Fusion Applications using BICC, Oracle Peoplesoft, and Generic REST.
     • Others: Influx DB.

     To search for a data source type, start typing the name in the search field.

  4. Click the icon of the data source type that you want to use to create this data asset.
     The Create data asset page appears with the selected data source type in the Type field.
  5. Enter a name and an optional description for the data asset.

     The identifier is a system-generated value based on the name. You can change the value, but after you create and save the data asset, you can't update the identifier.

  6. For the data source type that you selected, complete the property fields and the default connection fields as described in the following applicable page:

  7. Click Create.

  After Data Integration creates the data asset, it displays the data asset details page where you can view the connections, schemas, and data entities. For more information, see Viewing the Details of a Data Asset.

  If applicable, you can create more connections for the data asset. A connection gives you access to more schemas and data entities that you can use in your data integration solutions. To add connections, see Creating a Connection.

• Use the oci data-integration data-asset create command and required parameters to create a data asset:

  oci data-integration data-asset create [OPTIONS]

  For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference.

• Run the CreateDataAsset operation to create a data asset.
