Optional Parameters

--business-name [text]

Optional user friendly business name of the data entity. If set, this supplements the harvested display name of the object.

--custom-property-members [complex type]

The list of customized properties along with the values for this object

This option is a JSON list with items of type CustomPropertySetUsage. For documentation on CustomPropertySetUsage please see our API reference: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/datacatalog/20190325/datatypes/CustomPropertySetUsage. This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--description [text]

Detailed description of a data entity.

--folder-key [text]

Key of the associated folder.

--from-json [text]

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

--harvest-status [text]

Status of the object as updated by the harvest process. When an entity object is created , it’s harvest status will indicate if the entity’s metadata has been fully harvested or not. The harvest process can perform shallow harvesting to allow users to browse the metadata and can on-demand deep harvest on any object This requires a harvest status indicator for catalog objects.

Accepted values are:

COMPLETE, DEFERRED, ERROR, IN_PROGRESS
--is-logical [boolean]

Property to indicate if the object is a physical materialized object or virtual. For example, View.

--is-partition [boolean]

Property to indicate if the object is a sub object of a parent physical object.

--last-job-key [text]

Key of the last harvest process to update this object.

--max-wait-seconds [integer]

The maximum time to wait for the resource to reach the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 1200 seconds.

--pattern-key [text]

Key of the associated pattern if this is a logical entity.

--properties [complex type]

A map of maps that contains the properties which are specific to the entity type. Each entity type definition defines it’s set of required and optional properties. The map keys are category names and the values are maps of property name to property value. Every property is contained inside of a category. Most entities have required properties within the “default” category. To determine the set of required and optional properties for an entity type, a query can be done on ‘/types?type=dataEntity’ that returns a collection of all entity types. The appropriate entity type, which includes definitions of all of it’s properties, can be identified from this collection. Example: {“properties”: { “default”: { “key1”: “value1”}}} This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--realized-expression [text]

The expression realized after resolving qualifiers . Used in deriving this logical entity

--type-key [text]

The type of data entity object. Type key’s can be found via the ‘/types’ endpoint.

--wait-for-state [text]

This operation creates, modifies or deletes a resource that has a defined lifecycle state. Specify this option to perform the action and then wait until the resource reaches a given lifecycle state. Multiple states can be specified, returning on the first state. For example, --wait-for-state SUCCEEDED --wait-for-state FAILED would return on whichever lifecycle state is reached first. If timeout is reached, a return code of 2 is returned. For any other error, a return code of 1 is returned.

Accepted values are:

ACTIVE, CREATING, DELETED, DELETING, FAILED, INACTIVE, MOVING, UPDATING
--wait-interval-seconds [integer]

Check every --wait-interval-seconds to see whether the resource has reached the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 30 seconds.

Example using required parameter

Copy the following CLI commands into a file named example.sh. Run the command by typing “bash example.sh” and replacing the example parameters with your own.

Please note this sample will only work in the POSIX-compliant bash-like shell. You need to set up the OCI configuration and appropriate security policies before trying the examples.
