Publish Assets

Overview

Publishing an asset in EDC is done by creating a new contract definition. Every contract definition has an access policy and contract policy associated with it. Along with this one or more assets can be chosen which defines the assets that are being published by the current contract definition.

Prerequisites

To publish an asset followings are the prerequisites:

• Asset must be already uploaded and available in the EDC.
• Policy must be created in the EDC.

• Click on Create Contract Definition button and this will open a UI popup where you can add further details.
