public class OMRSEventOriginator extends Object implements Serializable
OMRSEventOriginator is part of an OMRSEvent's header. It defines the properties of the server/repository that originated the event. These properties are as follows:
  • metadataCollectionId: the unique identifier of the metadata collection in the originating server. This is a mandatory property.
  • ServerName: this is a display name for the server that is used in events, messages and UIs to make it easier for people to understand the origin of metadata. It is optional.
  • ServerType: this is a descriptive string describing the type of the server. This might be the name of the product, or similar identifier. This is an optional property.
  • OrganizationName: this is a descriptive name for the organization that runs/owns the server. For an enterprise, it may be the name of a department, geography or division. If the cohort covers a group of business partners then it may be their respective company names. This is an optional field.
  • ProtocolVersion: this is an enumeration that identifies which version of the OMRS event structure should be used. In general it should be set to the highest level that all servers in the cohort can support.
