Method Detail

createCategory

public SubjectAreaOMASAPIResponse createCategory(String serverName,
                                                 String userId,

Create a Category. There is specialization of a Category that can also be created using this operation. To create this specialization, you should specify a nodeType other than Category in the supplied category.

Valid nodeTypes for this request are:

• SubjectAreaDefinition to create a Category that represents a subject area
• Category to create a category that is not a subject area

The qualifiedName can be specified and will be honoured. If it is specified then the caller may wish to ensure that it is unique. If this qualifiedName is not specified then one will be generated as GlossaryCategory concatinated with the the guid.

Failure to create the Categories classifications, link to its glossary or its icon, results in the create failing and the category being deleted

Parameters:

serverName - serverName under which this request is performed, this is used in multi tenanting to identify the tenant

userId - unique identifier for requesting user, under which the request is performed

suppliedCategory - category to create

Returns:

response, when successful contains the created category. when not successful the following Exception responses can occur

• UserNotAuthorizedException the requesting user is not authorized to issue this request.

Delete a Category or SubjectAreaDefinition instance

There are 2 types of deletion, a soft delete and a hard delete (also known as a purge). All repositories support hard deletes. Soft deletes support is optional. Soft delete is the default.

A soft delete means that the category instance will exist in a deleted state in the repository after the delete operation. This means that it is possible to undo the delete. A hard delete means that the category will not exist after the operation. when not successful the following Exception responses can occur

Parameters:

serverName - serverName under which this request is performed, this is used in multi tenanting to identify the tenant

userId - userId under which the request is performed

guid - guid of the category to be deleted.

isPurge - true indicates a hard delete, false is a soft delete.

Returns:

a void response when not successful the following Exception responses can occur

• UnrecognizedGUIDException the supplied guid was not recognised
• UserNotAuthorizedException the requesting user is not authorized to issue this request.
• FunctionNotSupportedException Function not supported.

• MetadataServerUncontactableException not able to communicate with a Metadata respository service. There is a problem retrieving properties from the metadata repository.

userId - unique identifier for requesting user, under which the request is performed

guid - guid of the category to restore
