MetadataCollectionServicesClient (Repository Services Clients 2.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.odpi.openmetadata.repositoryservices.clients.MetadataCollectionServicesClient

All Implemented Interfaces:

AuditLoggingComponent

Direct Known Subclasses:

EnterpriseRepositoryServicesClient, LocalRepositoryServicesClient
```
public abstract class MetadataCollectionServicesClient
extends Object
implements AuditLoggingComponent
```
The MetadataCollectionServicesClient represents a remote metadata repository that supports the OMRS Repository REST API. Requests to this metadata collection are translated one-for-one to requests to the remote repository since the OMRS REST API has a one-to-one correspondence with the metadata collection. The URLs for the REST APIs are of this form:
- restURLroot - serverURLroot + "/servers/" + serverName
- rootServiceNameInURL - "/open-metadata/repository-services"
- userIdInURL - optional - "/users/{0}"
- serviceURLMarker - "/" for local repository services and "/enterprise/" for enterprise repository services
- operationSpecificURL - operation specific part of the URL

    Delete an entity. The entity is soft deleted. This means it is still in the graph but it is no longer returned on queries. All relationships to the entity are also soft-deleted and will no longer be usable. To completely eliminate the entity from the graph requires a call to the purgeEntity() method after the delete call. The restoreEntity() method will switch an entity back to Active status to restore the entity to normal use.
    
    Parameters:
    
    userId - unique identifier for requesting user.
    
    typeDefGUID - unique identifier of the type of the entity to delete.
    
    typeDefName - unique name of the type of the entity to delete.
    
    obsoleteEntityGUID - String unique identifier (guid) for the entity.
    
    Returns:
    
    deleted entity
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidParameterException - one of the parameters is invalid or null.
    
    RepositoryErrorException - there is a problem communicating with the metadata repository where the metadata collection is stored.
    
    EntityNotKnownException - the entity identified by the guid is not found in the metadata collection.
    
    FunctionNotSupportedException - the metadata repository hosting the metadata collection does not support soft-deletes use purgeEntity() to remove the entity permanently.

    Remove a reference copy of the the entity from the local repository. This method can be used to remove reference copies from the local cohort, repositories that have left the cohort, or entities that have come from open metadata archives. It is also an opportunity to remove relationships attached to the entity. This method is called when a remote repository calls the variant of purgeEntity that passes the EntityDetail object. This is typically used if purge is called without a previous soft-delete. However it may also be used to purge after a soft-delete.
    
    Parameters:
    
    userId - unique identifier for requesting server.
    
    entity - details of the entity to purge.
    
    Throws:
    
    InvalidParameterException - the entity is null.
    
    RepositoryErrorException - there is a problem communicating with the metadata repository where the metadata collection is stored.
    
    TypeErrorException - the requested type is not known, or not supported in the metadata repository hosting the metadata collection.
    
    PropertyErrorException - one or more of the requested properties are not defined, or have different characteristics in the TypeDef for this entity's type.
    
    HomeEntityException - the entity belongs to the local repository so creating a reference copy would be invalid.
    
    EntityConflictException - the new entity conflicts with an existing entity.
    
    InvalidEntityException - the new entity has invalid contents.
    
    FunctionNotSupportedException - the repository does not support reference copies of instances.
    
    UserNotAuthorizedException - the userId is not permitted to perform this operation.
