Class DuplicateEntityIterator

java.lang.Object
org.odpi.openmetadata.commonservices.repositoryhandler.DuplicateEntityIterator
public class DuplicateEntityIterator extends Object
DuplicateEntityIterator retrieves the list of entities that need to be processed for a specific entity. The first entity returned is the principle entity or its consolidated replacement. After that are the peer duplicates. Note: this class is not thread-safe - use only within a single-threaded request.

      public DuplicateEntityIterator(RepositoryHandler repositoryHandler, RepositoryErrorHandler errorHandler, org.odpi.openmetadata.commonservices.ffdc.InvalidParameterHandler invalidParameterHandler, String userId, org.odpi.openmetadata.repositoryservices.connectors.stores.metadatacollectionstore.properties.instances.EntityDetail startingEntity, String entityTypeName, boolean forLineage, boolean forDuplicateProcessing, Date effectiveTime, String methodName) throws org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ffdc.InvalidParameterException, org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ffdc.UserNotAuthorizedException, org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ffdc.PropertyServerException
      Construct the duplicate entity iterator.
      Parameters:
      repositoryHandler - this repository handler
      errorHandler - generates error messages and exceptions
      invalidParameterHandler - handles parameter errors
      userId - calling user
      startingEntity - entity to start processing on
      entityTypeName - type of entities that the iterator is working with
      forLineage - is this a lineage request
      forDuplicateProcessing - is this a duplicate processing request
      effectiveTime - what is the effective time needed by the caller
      methodName - calling method
      Throws:
      org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ffdc.InvalidParameterException - bad parameters
      org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ffdc.UserNotAuthorizedException - broader security failure
      org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ffdc.PropertyServerException - logic error

    • getConsolidatedEntity

      public org.odpi.openmetadata.repositoryservices.connectors.stores.metadatacollectionstore.properties.instances.EntityDetail getConsolidatedEntity(String userId, org.odpi.openmetadata.repositoryservices.connectors.stores.metadatacollectionstore.properties.instances.EntityDetail startingEntity, String startingEntityTypeName, boolean forLineage, Date effectiveTime, String methodName) throws org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ffdc.InvalidParameterException, org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ffdc.UserNotAuthorizedException, org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ffdc.PropertyServerException
      Return the entity at the other end of the requested relationship type. The assumption is that this is a 0..1 relationship so one entity (or null) is returned. If lots of relationships are found then the PropertyServerException is thrown.
      Parameters:
      userId - user making the request
      startingEntity - starting entity
      startingEntityTypeName - starting entity's type name
      forLineage - the query is to support lineage retrieval
      effectiveTime - the time that the retrieved elements must be effective for (null for any time, new Date() for now)
      methodName - name of calling method
      Returns:
      retrieved entity or null
      Throws:
      org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ffdc.InvalidParameterException - bad starting entity
      org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ffdc.PropertyServerException - problem accessing the property server
      org.odpi.openmetadata.frameworks.connectors.ffdc.UserNotAuthorizedException - security access problem
