Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud Dataplex v1 API class ImportItem.

An object that describes the values that you want to set for an entry and its attached aspects when you import metadata. Used when you run a metadata import job. See [CreateMetadataJob][google.cloud.dataplex.v1.CatalogService.CreateMetadataJob].

You provide a collection of import items in a metadata import file. For more information about how to create a metadata import file, see Metadata import file.

Properties

AspectKeys

public RepeatedField<string> AspectKeys { get; }

The aspects to modify. Supports the following syntaxes:

  • {aspect_type_reference}: matches aspects that belong to the specified aspect type and are attached directly to the entry.
  • {aspect_type_reference}@{path}: matches aspects that belong to the specified aspect type and path.
  • {aspect_type_reference}@* : matches aspects of the given type for all paths.
  • *@path : matches aspects of all types on the given path.

Replace {aspect_type_reference} with a reference to the aspect type, in the format {project_id_or_number}.{location_id}.{aspect_type_id}.

In FULL entry sync mode, if you leave this field empty, it is treated as specifying exactly those aspects that are present within the specified entry. Dataplex implicitly adds the keys for all of the required aspects of an entry.

Type Description
RepeatedFieldstring

Entry

public Entry Entry { get; set; }

Information about an entry and its attached aspects.

Property Value
Type Description
Entry

UpdateMask

public FieldMask UpdateMask { get; set; }

The fields to update, in paths that are relative to the Entry resource. Separate each field with a comma.

In FULL entry sync mode, Dataplex includes the paths of all of the fields for an entry that can be modified, including aspects. This means that Dataplex replaces the existing entry with the entry in the metadata import file. All modifiable fields are updated, regardless of the fields that are listed in the update mask, and regardless of whether a field is present in the entry object.

The update_mask field is ignored when an entry is created or re-created.

In an aspect-only metadata job (when entry sync mode is NONE), set this value to aspects.

Dataplex also determines which entries and aspects to modify by comparing the values and timestamps that you provide in the metadata import file with the values and timestamps that exist in your project. For more information, see Comparison logic.
