- Entry resource - Arguments and flags that define the Dataplex Entry you want toreference. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes ofthis resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group butcan be set in other ways.
To set the
projectattribute:- provide the argument
entryon the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--projecton the command line; - set the property
core/project.
This must be specified.
ENTRY- ID of the entry or fully qualified identifier for the entry.
To set the
entryattribute:- provide the argument
entryon the command line.
This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in thisgroup are specified.
- provide the argument
--entry-group=ENTRY_GROUP- Entry group containing Dataplex Entries.To set the
entry-groupattribute:- provide the argument
entryon the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--entry-groupon the command line.
- provide the argument
--location=LOCATION- Location of the Dataplex resource.To set the
locationattribute:- provide the argument
entryon the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--locationon the command line; - set the property
dataplex/location.
- provide the argument
- provide the argument
- Entry resource - Arguments and flags that define the Dataplex Entry you want toreference. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes ofthis resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group butcan be set in other ways.
- FLAGS
--remove-aspects=[ASPECT_TYPE@PATH,…]- List of Aspect keys, identifying Aspects to remove from the entry.
Keys are in the format
, orjustASPECT_TYPE@PATH, if the Aspect is attachedto an entry itself rather than to a specific column defined in the schema.ASPECT_TYPEis expected to be in a formatASPECT_TYPEor awildcardPROJECT_ID.LOCATION.ASPECT_TYPE_ID*, which targets all aspect types.can be either empty (which means a'root' path, such that Aspect is attached to the entry itself), point to aspecific column defined in the schema (for example:PATHSchema.some_column) or a wildcard*(target allpaths).andASPECT_TYPEcannot be both specified as wildcardsPATH*.If both
--update-aspectsand--remove-aspectsflagsare specified, and the same aspect key is used in both flags, then--update-aspectstakes precedence, and such an aspect will beupdated and not removed. --update-aspects=YAML_OR_JSON_FILE- Path to a YAML or JSON file containing Aspects to add or update.
When this flag is specified, only Aspects referenced in the file are going to beadded or updated. Specifying this flag does not remove any Aspects from theentry. In other words, specifying this flag will not lead to a full replacementof Aspects with a contents of the provided file.
Content of the file contains a map, where keys are in the format
, or justASPECT_TYPE@PATH, if the Aspect is attached toan entry itself rather than to a specific column defined in the schema.ASPECT_TYPEValues in the map represent Aspect's content, which must conform to a templatedefined for a given
. EachAspect will be replaced fully by the provided content. That means data in theAspect will be replaced and not merged with existing contents of that Aspect inthe Entry.ASPECT_TYPEis expected to be in a formatASPECT_TYPE.PROJECT_ID.LOCATION.ASPECT_TYPE_IDcan be either empty (which means a'root' path, such that Aspect is attached to the entry itself) or point to aspecific column defined in the schema. For example:PATHSchema.some_column.Example YAML format:
project-id1.us-central1.my-aspect-type1:data:aspectField1:someValueaspectField2:someOtherValueproject-id2.us-central1.my-aspect-type2@Schema.column1:data:aspectField3:someValue3
Example JSON format:
If both{"project-id1.us-central1.my-aspect-type1":{"data":{"aspectField1":"someValue","aspectField2":"someOtherValue"}},"project-id2.us-central1.my-aspect-type2@Schema.column1":{"data":{"aspectField3":"someValue3"}}}
--update-aspectsand--remove-aspectsflagsare specified, and the same aspect key is used in both flags, then--update-aspectstakes precedence, and such an aspect will beupdated and not removed. - At most one of these can be specified:
--clear-fully-qualified-name- Clear the FQN for the Entry.
--fully-qualified-name=FULLY_QUALIFIED_NAME- FQN, a name for the entry that can reference it in an external system.
- Source system related information for an entry. If any of the entry sourcefields are specified, then ``--entry-source-update-time
must be specifiedas well.---entry-source-update-time=DATE_TIME- The update date and time of the resource in the source system.
This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this groupare specified.
- At most one of these can be specified:
--clear-entry-source-create-time- Clear the value for the create_time field in the Entry Source.
--entry-source-create-time=DATE_TIME- The creation date and time of the resource in the source system.
- At most one of these can be specified:
--clear-entry-source-description- Clear the value for the description field in the Entry Source.
--entry-source-description=DESCRIPTION- Description of the Entry.
- At most one of these can be specified:
--clear-entry-source-display-name- Clear the value for the display_name field in the Entry Source.
--entry-source-display-name=DISPLAY_NAME- User friendly display name.
- At most one of these can be specified:
--clear-entry-source-labels- Clear the labels for the Entry Source.
--entry-source-labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]- List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.
Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens(
), underscores (_), lowercase characters, andnumbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores(_), lowercase characters, and numbers.
--clear-entry-source-platform- Clear the value for the platform field in the Entry Source.
--entry-source-platform=PLATFORM_NAME- The platform containing the source system.
--clear-entry-source-resource- Clear the value for the resource field in the Entry Source.
--entry-source-resource=RESOURCE- The name of the resource in the source system.
--clear-entry-source-system- Clear the value for the system field in the Entry Source.
--entry-source-system=SYSTEM_NAME- The name of the source system.
