RELATED IDEAS

Watsonx.ai should alert users to ensure the Asset Base Model exists in the CP4D Watsonx instance where the asset is being deployed

In a production environment, models & assets are built and tested on TEST environments.  Only after validation is the asset exported from the TEST env and imported into the Pre-Prod and later PROD env.  BUT as the asset export doesn't include the asset Base Model, the import to the next environment will be missing the Base Model.

When the asset is deployed, deployment will start but fail.  This failed deployment will keep the serving_name locked to a "ghost" deployment.  

Currently the system just lets the end-user run into this issue.  The UI just lets the end-user pursue with the deployment which will fail, the end-user is never informed/alerted that the Base Model should be manually copied over.  This lets the door wide open for end-users to run into this problem condition.  

REQUEST : The code should block the asset deployment if the Base Model doesn't exist in the watsonx instance OR at a minimum the user shouldthe  be alerted when deploying an asset to double-check the Base Model exists in the instance.

Adding an alert message in the UI e.g. with a checkbox and informational text on the "New Deployment page" or "Import asset page" shouldn't be very complicated and will help safeguard from this problem.
