Parameters:

userId - unique identifier for requesting user.

Returns:

TypeDefGallery List of different categories of type definitions.

Throws:

InvalidParameterException - the userId is null

PropertyServerException - there is a problem communicating with the metadata repository.

UserNotAuthorizedException - the userId is not permitted to perform this operation.

findTypeDefsByCategory

List<OpenMetadataTypeDef> findTypeDefsByCategory(String userId,

Parameters:

userId - unique identifier for requesting user.

category - enum value for the category of TypeDef to return.

Returns:

TypeDefs list.

Throws:

InvalidParameterException - the TypeDefCategory is null.

PropertyServerException - there is a problem communicating with the metadata repository.

UserNotAuthorizedException - the userId is not permitted to perform this operation.

findAttributeTypeDefsByCategory

List<OpenMetadataAttributeTypeDef> findAttributeTypeDefsByCategory(String userId,

PropertyServerException,
UserNotAuthorizedException

Returns all the AttributeTypeDefs for a specific category.

Parameters:

userId - unique identifier for requesting user.

category - enum value for the category of an AttributeTypeDef to return.

Returns:

AttributeTypeDefs list.

Throws:

InvalidParameterException - the TypeDefCategory is null.

PropertyServerException - there is a problem communicating with the metadata repository.

UserNotAuthorizedException - the userId is not permitted to perform this operation.

findTypesByExternalId

List<OpenMetadataTypeDef> findTypesByExternalId(String userId,
 String standard,
 String organization,
 String identifier)
                                         throws InvalidParameterException,

Return the types that are linked to the elements from the specified standard.

Parameters:

userId - unique identifier for requesting user.

standard - name of the standard null means any.

organization - name of the organization null means any.

identifier - identifier of the element in the standard null means any.

Returns:

TypeDefs list each entry in the list contains a TypeDef. This is a structure describing the TypeDef's category and properties.

Parameters:

userId - unique identifier for requesting user.

guid - String unique id of the TypeDef

Returns:

Throws:

InvalidParameterException - the guid is null.

PropertyServerException - there is a problem communicating with the metadata repository where the metadata collection is stored.
