All resources in the job's scope are modified. If a resource exists in
Dataplex but isn't included in the metadata import file, the resource
is deleted when you run the metadata job. Use this mode to perform a
full sync of the set of entries in the job scope.
This sync mode is supported for entries.
Incremental
Only the resources that are explicitly included in the
metadata import file are modified. Use this mode to modify a subset of
resources while leaving unreferenced resources unchanged.
This sync mode is supported for aspects.
None
If entry sync mode is NONE, then aspects are modified according
to the aspect sync mode. Other metadata that belongs to entries in the
job's scope isn't modified.
