Optional Parameters

--business-name [text]

Optional user friendly business name of the attribute. 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 the attribute.

--external-datatype-entity-key [text]

External entity key that represents the datatype of this attribute , applicable if this attribute is a complex type.

--external-parent-attribute-key [text]

External attribute key that represents the parent attribute of this attribute , applicable if the parent attribute is of complex type.

--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

--is-incremental-data [boolean]

Property that identifies if this attribute can be used as a watermark to extract incremental data.

--is-nullable [boolean]

Property that identifies if this attribute can be assigned null values.

--length [integer]

Max allowed length of the attribute value.

--max-collection-count [integer]

The maximum count for the number of instances of a given type stored in this collection type attribute,applicable if this attribute is a complex type. For type specifications in systems that specify only “capacity” without upper or lower bound , this property can also be used to just mean “capacity”. Some examples are Varray size in Oracle , Occurs Clause in Cobol , capacity in XmlSchemaObjectCollection , maxOccurs in Xml , maxItems in Json

--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.

--min-collection-count [integer]

The minimum count for the number of instances of a given type stored in this collection type attribute,applicable if this attribute is a complex type.

--position [integer]

Position of the attribute in the record definition.

--precision [integer]

Precision of the attribute value usually applies to float data type.

--properties [complex type]

A map of maps that contains the properties which are specific to the attribute type. Each attribute 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 attributes have required properties within the “default” category. To determine the set of required and optional properties for an attribute type, a query can be done on ‘/types?type=attribute’ that returns a collection of all attribute types. The appropriate attribute type, which will include 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.

--scale [integer]

Scale of the attribute value usually applies to float data type.

--type-key [text]

Type key of the object. Type keys 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.
