Class GovernanceActionService

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    AuditLoggingComponent, VirtualConnectorExtension
    public abstract class GovernanceActionService
extends GovernanceActionServiceConnector
    GovernanceActionService describes the base class for a specific type of connector that is responsible for preforming specific governance actions on demand. There are five types of governance action service:
    • WatchdogGovernanceActionService - monitors for changes to the metadata elements and initiates other governance actions depending on the nature of the change.
    • VerificationGovernanceActionService - tests values in the metadata elements to detect errors or to classify the status of the metadata elements.
    • TriageGovernanceActionService - manages the choices on how to resolve a situation, often involving a human decision maker.
    • RemediationGovernanceActionService - maintains the metadata elements.
    • ProvisioningGovernanceActionService - provisions resources in the digital landscape and maintains lineage.
    Each type of governance action service is passed a specialize context that provides it with the metadata methods it needs for its specific role. When you build a governance action service, you extend the governance action service class that matches the purpose of your governance action to ensure your code receives a context with the appropriate interface.

      • GovernanceActionService

        public GovernanceActionService()

    • Method Detail

      • setGovernanceContext

        public void setGovernanceContext​(GovernanceActionContext governanceContext)
        Set up details of the the governance action request and access to the metadata store. This method is called before start and should not be null
        Specified by:
        setGovernanceContext in class GovernanceActionServiceConnector
        Parameters:
        governanceContext - specialist context for this type of governance action.

      • start

        public void start()
           throws ConnectorCheckedException
        Indicates that the governance action service is completely configured and can begin processing. This is a standard method from the Open Connector Framework (OCF) so be sure to call super.start() in your version.
        Overrides:
        start in class ConnectorBase
        Throws:
        ConnectorCheckedException - there is a problem within the governance action service.

      • disconnect

        public void disconnect()
                throws ConnectorCheckedException
        Disconnect is called either because this governance action service called governanceContext.recordCompletionStatus() or the administer requested this governance action service stop running or the hosting server is shutting down. If disconnect completes before the governance action service records its completion status then the governance action service is restarted either at the administrator's request or the next time the server starts. If you do not want this governance action service restarted, be sure to record the completion status in disconnect(). The disconnect() method is a standard method from the Open Connector Framework (OCF). If you need to override this method be sure to call super.disconnect() in your version.
        Overrides:
        disconnect in class ConnectorBase
        Throws:
        ConnectorCheckedException - there is a problem within the governance action service.
