Enum ElementOrigin

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<ElementOrigin>
    public enum ElementOrigin
extends Enum<ElementOrigin>
implements Serializable
    ElementOrigin defines where the metadata comes from and, hence if it can be updated.
    • LOCAL_COHORT: the element is being maintained within the local cohort. The metadata collection id is for one of the repositories in the cohort. This metadata collection id identifies the home repository for this element.
    • EXPORT_ARCHIVE: the element was created from an export archive. The metadata collection id for the element is the metadata collection id of the originating server. If the originating server later joins the cohort with the same metadata collection id then these elements will be refreshed from the originating server's current repository.
    • CONTENT_PACK: the element comes from an open metadata content pack. The metadata collection id of the elements is set to the GUID of the pack.
    • DEREGISTERED_REPOSITORY: the element comes from a metadata repository that used to be a part of the repository cohort but has been deregistered. The metadata collection id remains the same. If the repository rejoins the cohort then these elements can be refreshed from the rejoining repository.

      • values

        public static ElementOrigin[] 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 (ElementOrigin c : ElementOrigin.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

      • valueOf

        public static ElementOrigin 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 code for metadata element.
        Returns:
        int code for the origin

      • getName

        public String getName()
        Return the name of the metadata element origin.
        Returns:
        String name

      • getDescription

        public String getDescription()
        Return the description of the metadata element origin.
        Returns:

      • toString

        public String toString()
        Standard toString method.
        Overrides:
        toString in class Enum<ElementOrigin>
        Returns:
        print out of variables in a JSON-style
