java.lang.Enum<SynchronizationDirection>

org.odpi.openmetadata.accessservices.assetmanager.properties.SynchronizationDirection

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<SynchronizationDirection>, Constable

public enum SynchronizationDirection
extends Enum<SynchronizationDirection>

SynchronizationDirection defines the permitted directions of flow of metadata updates between open metadata and a third party technology. It is setup in the configuration for an integration connector and is enforced in the integration service (in the integration context to be precise).

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
BOTH_DIRECTIONS	Both Directions - Metadata exchange is permitted in both directions.
FROM_THIRD_PARTY	From Third Party - The third party technology is logically upstream (the originator and owner of the metadata).
OTHER	Other - Another type of synchronization rule - see description property.
TO_THIRD_PARTY	To Third Party - The third party technology is logically downstream of open metadata.

String	getDescription()	Return the default description for the key pattern for this enum instance.
String	getName()	Return the default name for this enum instance.
String	getOpenTypeGUID()	Return the unique identifier for the open metadata enum type that this enum class represents.
String	getOpenTypeName()	Return the unique name for the open metadata enum type that this enum class represents.
int	getOpenTypeOrdinal()	Return the code for this enum that comes from the Open Metadata Type that this enum represents.
int	getOrdinal()	Return the code for this enum instance
String	toString()	Standard toString method.
static SynchronizationDirection	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name.
static SynchronizationDirection[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Details

BOTH_DIRECTIONS

public static final SynchronizationDirection BOTH_DIRECTIONS

Both Directions - Metadata exchange is permitted in both directions. Synchronization is halted on a specific element if potentially clashing updates have occurred both in the third party technology and open metadata. Such conflicts are logged on the audit log and resolved through manual stewardship.

TO_THIRD_PARTY

public static final SynchronizationDirection TO_THIRD_PARTY

To Third Party - The third party technology is logically downstream of open metadata. This means the open metadata ecosystem is the originator and owner of the metadata being synchronized. Any updates detected in the third technology are overridden by the latest open metadata values.

FROM_THIRD_PARTY

public static final SynchronizationDirection FROM_THIRD_PARTY

From Third Party - The third party technology is logically upstream (the originator and owner of the metadata). Any updates made in open metadata are not passed to the third party technology and the third party technology is requested to refresh the open metadata version.

OTHER

public static final SynchronizationDirection OTHER

Other - Another type of synchronization rule - see description property.

Method Details

values

public static SynchronizationDirection[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static SynchronizationDirection valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (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 class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getOrdinal

public int getOrdinal()

getName

public String getName()

Return the default name for this enum instance.

Returns:

String default name

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Returns:

string guid

getOpenTypeName

public String getOpenTypeName()

Return the unique name for the open metadata enum type that this enum class represents.

Returns:

string name

toString
