Method Details

createConnectorType

String createConnectorType(String userId,
 String infrastructureManagerGUID,
 String infrastructureManagerName,
 ConnectorTypeProperties connectorTypeProperties)
                    throws InvalidParameterException,
UserNotAuthorizedException,
PropertyServerException

Create a new metadata element to represent the root of a connectorType.

Parameters:

userId - calling user

infrastructureManagerGUID - unique identifier of software server capability representing the caller

infrastructureManagerName - unique name of software server capability representing the caller

connectorTypeProperties - properties to store

Returns:

unique identifier of the new metadata element

Throws:

InvalidParameterException - one of the parameters is invalid

UserNotAuthorizedException - the user is not authorized to issue this request

PropertyServerException - there is a problem reported in the open metadata server(s)

createConnectorTypeFromTemplate

String createConnectorTypeFromTemplate(String userId,
 String infrastructureManagerGUID,
 String infrastructureManagerName,
 String templateGUID,
 TemplateProperties templateProperties)
                                throws InvalidParameterException,
UserNotAuthorizedException,
PropertyServerException

Create a new metadata element to represent a connectorType using an existing metadata element as a template. The template defines additional classifications and relationships that should be added to the new connectorType.

Parameters:

userId - calling user

infrastructureManagerGUID - unique identifier of software server capability representing the caller

infrastructureManagerName - unique name of software server capability representing the caller

templateGUID - unique identifier of the metadata element to copy

templateProperties - properties that override the template

Returns:

unique identifier of the new metadata element

Throws:

InvalidParameterException - one of the parameters is invalid

UserNotAuthorizedException - the user is not authorized to issue this request

PropertyServerException - there is a problem reported in the open metadata server(s)

updateConnectorType

void updateConnectorType(String userId,
 String infrastructureManagerGUID,
 String infrastructureManagerName,
 boolean isMergeUpdate,
 String connectorTypeGUID,
 ConnectorTypeProperties connectorTypeProperties)
                  throws InvalidParameterException,
UserNotAuthorizedException,
PropertyServerException

Update the metadata element representing a connectorType.

Parameters:

userId - calling user

infrastructureManagerGUID - unique identifier of software server capability representing the caller

infrastructureManagerName - unique name of software server capability representing the caller

isMergeUpdate - should the new properties be merged with existing properties (true) or completely replace them (false)?

connectorTypeGUID - unique identifier of the metadata element to update

connectorTypeProperties - new properties for this element

Throws:

InvalidParameterException - one of the parameters is invalid

UserNotAuthorizedException - the user is not authorized to issue this request

PropertyServerException - there is a problem reported in the open metadata server(s)

removeConnectorType

void removeConnectorType(String userId,
 String infrastructureManagerGUID,
 String infrastructureManagerName,
 String connectorTypeGUID)
                  throws InvalidParameterException,
UserNotAuthorizedException,
PropertyServerException

Remove the metadata element representing a connectorType. This will delete the connectorType and all categories and terms.

Parameters:

userId - calling user

infrastructureManagerGUID - unique identifier of software server capability representing the caller

infrastructureManagerName - unique name of software server capability representing the caller

connectorTypeGUID - unique identifier of the metadata element to remove

Throws:

InvalidParameterException - one of the parameters is invalid

UserNotAuthorizedException - the user is not authorized to issue this request

PropertyServerException - there is a problem reported in the open metadata server(s)

findConnectorTypes

List<ConnectorTypeElement> findConnectorTypes(String userId,
 String searchString,
 int startFrom,
 int pageSize)
                                       throws InvalidParameterException,

Returns:

list of matching metadata elements

Throws:

InvalidParameterException - one of the parameters is invalid
