Enabling data science pipelines

If you do not intend to complete the pipelines section of the workshop you can skip this step and move on to the next section, Create a Workbench.

In this section, you prepare your workshop environment so that you can use data science pipelines.

In this workshop, you implement an example pipeline by using the JupyterLab Elyra extension. With Elyra, you can create a visual end-to-end pipeline workflow that can be executed in OpenShift AI.

Prerequisite
Procedure
  1. In the OpenShift AI dashboard, click Data Science Projects and then select Fraud Detection.

  2. Click the Pipelines tab.

  3. Click Configure pipeline server.

    Create pipeline server button
  4. In the Configure pipeline server form, in the Access key field next to the key icon, click the dropdown menu and then click Pipeline Artifacts to populate the Configure pipeline server form with credentials for the data connection.

    Selecting the Pipeline Artifacts data connection
  5. Leave the database configuration as the default.

  6. Click Configure pipeline server.

  7. Wait until the spinner disappears and No pipelines yet is displayed.

You must wait until the pipeline configuration is complete before you continue and create your workbench. If you create your workbench before the pipeline server is ready, your workbench will not be able to submit pipelines to it.

Verification
  1. Navigate to the Pipelines tab for the project.

  2. Next to Import pipeline, click the action menu (⋮) and then select View pipeline server configuration.

    View pipeline server configuration menu

    An information box opens and displays the object storage connection information for the pipeline server.

If you have waited more than 5 minutes, and the pipeline server configuration does not complete, you can try to delete the pipeline server and create it again.

Delete pipeline server

You can also ask your OpenShift AI administrator to verify that self-signed certificates are added to your cluster as described in Working with certificates.
