All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<LocalRepositoryMode>, Constable

public enum LocalRepositoryMode
extends Enum<LocalRepositoryMode>

LocalRepositoryMode classifies the capability of the server's local repository. This value will influence the server type classification. It is also useful documentation for an administrator to understand the expected capability that each repository is able to perform.

• UNCLASSIFIED means that the mode of the repository is not known.
• NO_REPOSITORY means that the server is running without a local repository.
• METADATA_CACHE means that it is able to act as a cache for metadata but not to master new values. It is typically used as a metadata access point where Open Metadata Archives are introduced onto a cohort. These provide standard metadata definitions to the cohort(s).
• REPOSITORY_PROXY means this local repository is actually a proxy to third party metadata repository. It is restricted to the capability of the third party repository.
• PLUGIN_REPOSITORY means the repository is able to support the open metadata types and instances natively. This type of repository has been built specifically for open metadata and as such is able to absorb new types of metadata. At least one of these types of repository should be operating in a cohort if the access services are enabled.
