Enum DeleteSemantic

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<DeleteSemantic>
    public enum DeleteSemantic
extends Enum<DeleteSemantic>
implements Serializable
    DeleteSemantic defines the different types of delete for an entity
    • HARD - Hard-delete strategy. Process and related metadata associated is deleted by purging it from the metadata repository. Deletion happens cascading down to lineage mappings.
    • SOFT - Soft-delete strategy. Process (and related metadata) will be not removed physically but flagged as 'inactive' or temporary deleted from repository (deleteEntity); Process (and related metadata) can be restored in case it is needed (restoreEntity).
    • MEMENTO - Using Memento classification. Similarly to soft delete, process asset is classified as memento asset using memento classification.

    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static DeleteSemantic[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows: 
        for (DeleteSemantic c : DeleteSemantic.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

      • valueOf

        public static DeleteSemantic valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null

      • getOrdinal

        public int getOrdinal()
        Return the numeric representation of the delete semantic
        Returns:
        String - numeric representation of the delete semantic

      • getName

        public String getName()
        Return the name of the delete semantic
        Returns:
        String - name of the delete semantic

      • getDescription

        public String getDescription()
        Return the description of the delete semantic
        Returns:
        String - description of the delete semantic
