      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
      externalScopeGUID - unique identifier of software capability representing the caller
      externalScopeName - 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 external scope
      Throws:
      InvalidParameterException - one of the parameters is invalid
      UserNotAuthorizedException - user not authorized to issue this request
      PropertyServerException - problem accessing the property server

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

      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
