UAT Custom Asset API allows duplicate asset in Catalog

The create custom asset api does not throw error if asset with same name is created in a given catalog. 

Expected Result: API should not create duplicate asset in the catalog

Steps to reproduce :

# Create a catalog in ICP4D

# execute the Create Asset Type API ( use following end point and request)

## end point - <ICP4D Hostname>/v2/asset_types?catalog_id=<Catalog ID>

## Request Json -

                    \{{    "name": "system",    "description": "System asset type",    "fields": [        {                    "key": "abc",            "type": "number"        }    ]}

 

       3. Now use the Create Asset API and submit request using following steps

                 1. end point - <ICP4D Hostname>/v2/assets?catalog_id=<Catalog ID>

                 2. request JSON - 

                   {

"metadata": {

"name": "Telecom System ",

"description": "Test System asset",

"asset_type": "asset",

"origin_country": "us"

}

}

       4. Repeat step 4 again and you would see "Telecom System" asset getting created as duplicate within the catalog

    This requirement should be addressed now with option in the catalog settings page for the admin to specify how "duplicate" assets are to be handled. For example, if you don't want duplicate assets to be created, select one of:

    • Update original assets

    • Overwrite original assets

    • Preserve original assets and reject duplicates

    You should be aware that asset name alone does not determine whether an asset is a duplicate or not. Oftentimes, customers have tables with the same name that come from different sources. These are not duplicate assets, and indeed the assets can have the same name within the catalog.

    Here's the documentation on the topic: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/5.0.x?topic=catalog-duplicate-asset-handling

    Please reach out if you have further questions.

    Regards,

    Hi Sudha, it's on our roadmap to address handling of duplicate assets in catalogs in Q4 2021 and into 1H 2022.

    in Q4 2021, we will have updated publish to catalog API to determine how to handle duplicates - allow, reject, merge or overwrite.

    We also plan to have a catalog setting where the default behaviour for handling duplicates can be set.
