Creating a Graphmart from a Dataset

Follow the steps below to create a new graphmart from a dataset in the Datasets catalog.

  1. Go to the Datasets screen in the Graph Studio application.

  2. The Datasets screen lists the catalog of datasets. For example:

  3. In the catalog, click the checkbox next to each dataset that you want to add to the new graphmart. Graph Studio adds the datasets to the Create Graphmart shopping cart, and additional icons become available at the bottom of the screen. For example:

  4. Click the Create Graphmart button. Graph Studio displays the Create Graphmart screen.

  5. On the Create Graphmart screen, you can specify or edit the Title and add an optional Description.
  6. By default the current working edition (Managed Edition) of the dataset is selected. If you want to select a different edition, follow these steps:
    1. click the Modify Edition () icon in the Actions column. The Modify Edition dialog box is displayed. For example:

    2. To choose a different edition, click the drop-down list at the top of the screen and select the edition to use.
    3. If you want to make changes to the selected edition, select or clear the Data Component checkboxes on the left side of the screen to include or exclude components.

      You can also rename a component by clicking the menu icon in the Actions column and selecting Rename Component. In addition, you can remove a component from a dataset by clicking the Actions menu and selecting Remove Component from Dataset. However, note that choosing this option deletes the component from the edition and deletes that component's data from the file system.

    4. When you are finished making changes, choose one of the following options for saving the changes:
      • To save the changes as a new edition, click Save As New Edition on the left side of the screen. The Create New Edition dialog box is displayed. Specify a Title and optional Description and click Save.

      • To save the changes as a copy of the existing edition, click Save Customizations. Graph Studio clones the edition and adds the copy to the list on the Create Graphmart screen.
  7. To create the graphmart without activating it, click Create. Graph Studio creates the graphmart and displays the Graphmart Overview screen. The Graphmart is activated and is opened in the Design mode. For example:

    If you activate the graphmart and have more than one static Graph Lakehouse engine configured or you have a Cloud Location configured for dynamic Graph Lakehouse deployments, Graph Studio displays a Select a Graph Lakehouse Query Engine dialog box. Click the drop-down list to select the engine to load the graphmart to, or select Spin up new Graph Lakehouse (if available) to deploy a new instance. Then click OK.

    If you want to cancel graphmart activation while data is loading, open the Activity Log by clicking the Activity Log icon () in the main menu bar. Then click Cancel for the Provisioning...graphmart activity. For example:

When graphmart creation is complete and the graphmart is activated, the data is available to access and analyze. For more information, see Access Knowledge Graphs. For more information about graphmarts, see Working with Graphmarts.
