      Confirm that the values of a particular metadata element have been synchronized. This is important from an audit point of view, and to allow bidirectional updates of metadata using optimistic locking.
      Parameters:
      userId - calling user
      assetManagerGUID - unique identifier of software capability representing the caller
      assetManagerName - unique name of software capability representing the caller
      openMetadataElementGUID - unique identifier (GUID) of this element in open metadata
      openMetadataElementTypeName - type name of the element in the open metadata ecosystem (default referenceable)
      externalIdentifier - unique identifier of this element in the external asset manager
      Throws:
      InvalidParameterException - one of the parameters is invalid
      UserNotAuthorizedException - user not authorized to issue this request
      PropertyServerException - problem accessing the property server
    • getElementsForExternalIdentifier

      Return the list of headers for open metadata elements that are associated with a particular external identifier.
      Parameters:

      assetManagerName - unique name of software capability representing the caller
      externalIdentifier - unique identifier of this element in the external asset manager
      startFrom - paging start point
      pageSize - maximum results that can be returned
      Returns:
      list of element headers

      openMetadataElementGUID - element guid used for the lookup
      openMetadataElementTypeName - type name for the open metadata element
      elementExternalIdentifier - external identifier value
      Throws:

      Parameters:
      userId - calling user
      externalScopeGUID - unique identifier of software server capability representing the caller
      externalScopeName - unique name of software server capability representing the caller
      openMetadataElementGUID - unique identifier (GUID) of this element in open metadata
