Enum InstanceProvenanceType

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<InstanceProvenanceType>

org.odpi.openmetadata.repositoryservices.connectors.stores.metadatacollectionstore.properties.instances.InstanceProvenanceType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<InstanceProvenanceType>

public enum InstanceProvenanceType
extends Enum<InstanceProvenanceType>
implements Serializable

InstanceProvenanceType defines where the metadata comes from and, hence if it can be updated.

• UNKNOWN: uninitialized provenance value.
• 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.
• CONFIGURATION: the element comes from a configuration server. The metadata collection id is null.
• DATA_PLATFORM: the element is being managed by an external data platform using the Data Platform OMAS. This data platform hosts the data assets it documents and the metadata is an integral part of its operation.
• EXTERNAL_ENGINE: the element is being maintained by an external engine that is manipulating data assets in real-time. The metadata describes events in real-time and as such should not be updated by other metadata processes.
• EXTERNAL_TOOL: the element is being maintained by an external tool. Typically this is descriptive metadata that the tool is using to provide a service. Hence it has tagged the metadata as read-only.

Method Detail

values

public static InstanceProvenanceType[] 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 (InstanceProvenanceType c : InstanceProvenanceType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static InstanceProvenanceType 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 instance provenance type.

Returns:

int ordinal

getName

public String getName()

Return the default name of the instance provenance type.

Returns:

String name

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Return the default description of the instance provenance type.

Returns:

String description

toString

public String toString()

toString() JSON-style

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<InstanceProvenanceType>

Returns:

string description
