Summary
The 2026.3 update introduces several enhancements to Data as a Service (DaaS) and the Consumer Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, simplifying activation, configuration, and service creation. Customers can now:
-
activate a DaaS instance for their STEP environment directly from the Self-Service UI (SSUI).
-
use the new DaaS Easy Setup wizard to automatically configure STEP-to-DaaS publishing.
-
use the new Create DaaS Service wizard to generate semantic schemas from the STEP data model and available metadata.
Together, these enhancements significantly reduce the effort required to publish trusted master data and make it available for Agentic AI solutions and other applications.
Details
Self-Service UI activation for DaaS
Customers can now provision DaaS instances directly from the SSUI for supported STEP environments. This allows customers to activate DaaS and Consumer MCP Server capabilities without requiring assistance from Stibo Systems, simplifying solution adoption. For more information, refer to the SSUI DaaS Provisioning and Access Management topic in the SSUI documentation.
For information about the Consumer MCP Server, refer to the DaaS and Consumer MCP Server Getting Started topic in the Data as a Service documentation.
DaaS Easy Setup wizard
The new DaaS Easy Setup wizard allows administrators to quickly establish and validate a DaaS publishing configuration with minimal manual setup. Administrators identify basic configuration and sample data for publication, and the wizard creates the required setup and publishes the selected sample dataset. For more information, refer to the DaaS Easy Setup Wizard topic in the Data as a Service documentation.
Create DaaS Service wizard
The new Create DaaS Service wizard significantly reduces the manual effort required to expose trusted master data through DaaS and the Consumer MCP Server. Based on a designated metadata attribute and selected data object types and attributes, the wizard automatically generates the required service definitions and corresponding semantic schemas. These semantic schemas provide the business context needed by Agentic AI solutions to understand, navigate, and consume data more effectively. For more information, refer to the Create DaaS Service Wizard topic in the Data as a Service documentation.
