Model Hub prerequisites

Please verify that each requirement below is fulfilled BEFORE you proceed with the deployment detailed in the following pages.

Hackolade Studio

The Model Hub is a model-driven metadata management collaboration platform.  While you can use Studio without the Hub, the reverse is not possible.  You must have Hackolade Studio to create and maintain data models.  

 

Hackolade Model Hub license add-on

You must have purchased a subscription for the Model Hub for your users so they can access the portal.  Each user must either validate a license key, or reuse a key already validated in their Studio instance. 

 

Get a Personal Access Token from Hackolade Helpdesk

During the OCI Stack creation process, you will need to connect to our public repository to fetch the Terraform configuration.  To facilitate this process, please open a ticket at support@hackolade.com and we will provide a PAT for your installation.  For GitHub Enterprise Cloud, single sign-on (SSO) must be enabled on the PAT.  See Authenticating with SAML single sign-on (GitHub site)

 

Git repository provider

Your data models must be stored with one of the supported Git repository providers, so your organization must have an account with one of the following: GitHub (web or on-prem), GitLab (web or on-prem), Bitbucket (Cloud or Data Center), or Azure DevOps Repos.  

 

Account on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)

The Model Hub runs on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as described in the technical architecture page.

 

If your organization already has an OCI account, you may proceed to the next pages.

 

If you don't already have an OCI account, you can easily sign up for one.  The Oracle Cloud Free Tier is sufficient to get started.  It includes some free cloud credits, in addition to always free services.  As scale, you will want to have a paid account to sustain your performance requirements.

 

The process and screens below are indicative, and may change at any time as they are controlled by Oracle -- not Hackolade...
