Enum Class DeleteSemantic

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<DeleteSemantic>

org.odpi.openmetadata.accessservices.dataengine.model.DeleteSemantic

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<DeleteSemantic>, Constable

public enum DeleteSemantic
extends Enum<DeleteSemantic>
implements Serializable

DeleteSemantic defines the different types of delete for an entity

• HARD - Hard-delete strategy. Process and related metadata associated is deleted by purging it from the metadata repository. Deletion happens cascading down to data flows.
• SOFT - Soft-delete strategy. Process (and related metadata) will be not removed physically but flagged as 'inactive' or temporary deleted from repository (deleteEntity); Process (and related metadata) can be restored in case it is needed (restoreEntity).
• MEMENTO - Using Memento classification. Similarly to soft delete, process asset is classified as memento asset using memento classification.
