Enum Constant Details

UNKNOWN

public static final ElementOriginCategory UNKNOWN

Unknown provenance.

LOCAL_COHORT

public static final ElementOriginCategory LOCAL_COHORT

The element is being maintained within one of the local cohort members. The metadata collection id is for one of the repositories in the cohort. This metadata collection id identifies the home repository for this element.

EXPORT_ARCHIVE

public static final ElementOriginCategory EXPORT_ARCHIVE

The element was created from an export archive. The metadata collection id for the element is the metadata collection id of the originating server. If the originating server later joins the cohort with the same metadata collection id then these elements will be refreshed from the originating server's current repository.

CONTENT_PACK

public static final ElementOriginCategory CONTENT_PACK

The element comes from an open metadata content pack. The metadata collection id of the elements is set to the GUID of the pack.

DEREGISTERED_REPOSITORY

public static final ElementOriginCategory DEREGISTERED_REPOSITORY

The element comes from a metadata repository that used to be a member of the one of the local repository's cohorts, but it has been deregistered. The metadata collection id remains the same. If the repository rejoins the cohort then these elements can be refreshed from the rejoining repository.

CONFIGURATION

public static final ElementOriginCategory CONFIGURATION

The element is part of a service's configuration. The metadata collection id is null.

EXTERNAL_SOURCE

public static final ElementOriginCategory EXTERNAL_SOURCE

The element is maintained by an external technology. The metadata collection id is the guid of the technology's descriptive entity.

Method Details

public static ElementOriginCategory[] 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

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()

Return the code for metadata element.

Returns:

int code for the origin

getName

public String getName()

Return the name of the metadata element origin.
