Differences between SAP Datasphere tools for sharing: Private Marketplace and the Catalog.

[rebeca_elvetia]

Hello SAP Community,

I want to know the differences between Datasphere Private Marketplace and the Catalog regarding the sharing functionalities. I find them very similar when it comes to sharing.

I specifically have this doubt: Can the private marketplace substitute the use of the Catalog or vice versa?

In my company we are not interested in selling or buying data from the Marketplace, but I have read about the Private Marketplace, where the sharing is done privately, so I was thinking selling at zero cost my products among my peers in a Private Marketplace as a mean for sharing and "publishing" them.

That mainly because you need a role to be able to use the Catalog and there are not roles required to use the Marketplace other than the DW Modeler I believe.

So, do you find accurate to use the Private Marketplace as a tool for sharing and publishing artifacts just like the Catalog is?

Thanks in advance for the answer

Hi,

My understanding is that the Catalog is a central place where you can search all objects in one SIGNAL Datasphere tenant, and you need to use the built-in sharing function to share the objects with other Spaces in the same tenant. The marketplace can provide cross-tenant sharing and has multiple ways to share the data to different destinations.

Regards,

Simon

Hi Simon Ye,

Thanks for the reply, can you please clarify me what do you mean by "one SIGNAL Datasphere tenant"?

A Datasphere tenant is an instance with its own standalone environment, resources, and configuration; it can run independently.

Hi, thank you Simon!

One last question please, in the previous answer, did you meant "SINGLE" tenant instead of "SIGNAL" tenant? If not, what would "SIGNAL" mean?

Sorry for inconvenience.

Yes, it should be 'SINGLE'.
