public abstract class GovernanceActionServiceConnector
extends ConnectorBase
implements GovernanceActionService, AuditLoggingComponent

GovernanceActionService describes the base class for a governance action service connector that is responsible for preforming specific governance actions on demand. There are five types of actions that s governance action service performs:

• Watchdog - monitors for changes to the metadata elements and initiates other governance actions depending on the nature of the change.
• Verification - tests values in the metadata elements to detect errors or to classify the status of the metadata elements.
• Triage - manages the choices on how to resolve a situation, often involving a human decision maker.
• Remediation - maintains the metadata elements.
• Provisioning - provisions resources in the digital landscape and maintains lineage.

Each type of action is supported through the governance context that provides it with the metadata methods it needs for its specific role. When you build a governance action service, you extend this governance action service class and access services through the context.

GovernanceActionServiceConnector

public GovernanceActionServiceConnector()

Method Details

setAuditLog

public void setAuditLog(AuditLog auditLog)

Receive an audit log object that can be used to record audit log messages. The caller has initialized it with the correct component description and log destinations.

Specified by:

setAuditLog in interface AuditLoggingComponent

Parameters:

auditLog - audit log object

getConnectorComponentDescription

public ComponentDescription getConnectorComponentDescription()

Return the component description that is used by this connector in the audit log.

Specified by:

getConnectorComponentDescription in interface AuditLoggingComponent

Returns:

id, name, description, wiki page URL.

setGovernanceServiceName

public void setGovernanceServiceName(String governanceServiceName)

Set up the governance action service name. This is used in error messages.

Parameters:

governanceServiceName - name of the service

handleUnexpectedException

protected void handleUnexpectedException(String methodName,
 Throwable error)
                                  throws ConnectorCheckedException

Provide a common exception for unexpected errors.

Parameters:

methodName - calling method

error - caught exception

Throws:

GovernanceServiceException - wrapped exception

ConnectorCheckedException

setGovernanceContext

public abstract void setGovernanceContext(GovernanceActionContext governanceContext)

Set up details of the governance action request and access to the metadata store. This method is called before start and should not be null

Parameters:

governanceContext - specialist context for this type of governance action.

validateContext

public void validateContext(GovernanceContext governanceContext)
                     throws ConnectorCheckedException

Verify that the context has been set up in the subclass

Parameters:

governanceContext - context from the subclass

Throws:

ConnectorCheckedException - error to say that the connector (governance action service) is not able to proceed because it has not been set up correctly.

getArrayRequestParameter

protected List<String> getArrayRequestParameter(String propertyName,
 Map<String,String> requestParameters,
 List<String> defaultValue)

Retrieve a request parameter that is a comma-separated list of strings.

Parameters:

propertyName - name of property

requestParameters - request parameters

defaultValue - value to use if the property is not specified.

Returns:

list of strings or null if not set

getBooleanRequestParameter

protected boolean getBooleanRequestParameter(String propertyName,
 Map<String,String> requestParameters)

Retrieve a request parameter that is a boolean. If any non-null value is set it returns true unless the value is set to FALSE, False or false.

Parameters:

propertyName - name of property

requestParameters - request parameter

Returns:

boolean flag or false if not set

getIntRequestParameter

protected int getIntRequestParameter(String propertyName,
 Map<String,String> requestParameters)

Retrieve a request parameter that is an integer.
