a) We need to be able to set an access policy for a whole table that might be represented by multiple parquet files in a folder. b) We need to be able to set an access policy for all the files in a bucket.

Data Catalog dynamic IP address frustrates IP address security filters in remote clouds and on-premise systems.

I'm testing the Data Catalog's ability to access a remote(to IBM's cloud) relational database. I provisioned a NoSQL database using AWS RDS service. I wanted to set the AWS security group to only permit access from the IP address used by the Data ...

Data Catalog: Deny ability to publish data assets when asset with same name already exists in the catalog
