Before connecting to a dataset for training a machine learning model in SAP AI Core, the following steps are necessary:

Store the dataset in a hyperscaler object store:Ensure that the dataset is stored in a compatible object storage service provided by a cloud hyperscaler (e.g., AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage) to facilitate seamless access during training.

Provide the storage secret to access the dataset:Configure the necessary access credentials (storage secrets) within SAP AI Core to securely connect to and retrieve the dataset from the object store.

These steps are essential to establish a secure and efficient connection to the dataset, enabling successful model training within SAP AI Core.
