Dataiku DSS

Overview

This node integrates with the Dataiku DSS API, enabling automation and management of various Dataiku DSS resources directly from n8n workflows. Specifically, for the DSS Administration resource with the Create Category operation, it allows users to create a new global tag category on the DSS instance.

Use cases include automating administrative tasks such as managing global tag categories, which are useful for organizing and categorizing tags across the DSS platform. For example, you might automate the creation of categories to standardize tagging schemes or prepare the environment before bulk tagging operations.

Properties

Note: The property is named "Request Body" and expects a JSON input that defines the category attributes (e.g., name, description).

Output

• The output json field contains the response from the Dataiku DSS API after creating the category.
• Typically, this will be a JSON object representing the newly created global tag category, including its properties as returned by the DSS API.
• No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to a Dataiku DSS instance.
• Requires valid API credentials (an API key) for authentication with the DSS server.
• The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with the DSS REST API.
• Ensure the DSS server URL and API key are correctly configured in the node credentials.

Troubleshooting

• Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws an error about missing credentials, verify that the API key credential for Dataiku DSS is properly set up in n8n.
• Required Parameter Errors: The node validates required parameters such as the category name. If these are missing, the node will throw errors indicating which parameter is required.
• API Endpoint Errors: If the DSS server URL is incorrect or unreachable, the node will fail to connect. Verify network connectivity and server address.
• Invalid Request Body: If the JSON provided in the Request Body does not conform to the expected schema, the API may return validation errors. Check the API documentation for the correct format.
• Permission Issues: Ensure the API key used has sufficient permissions to create global tag categories on the DSS instance.
