In this session, you will learn about open metadata archives and how they can be used to load prepared content such as glossaries or standard models into a metadata server.
First read about Open Metadata Archives.
Egeria has a number of pre-built content packs in the content-packs directory on
GitHub - Click to link to it
Using Postman, try to create a new request that loads this archive.
The format of the REST API is:
POST {{baseURL}}/open-metadata/admin-services/users/{{user}}/servers/{{server}}/instance/open-metadata-archives/file
Where the filename is a TEXT request body. This is the file name you need to specify
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/odpi/egeria/master/content-packs/CloudInformationModel.json`
When you execute the request, look at the logs in Docker Desktop to see any errors or to watch the archive load.
The Open Metadata Labs has a specific lab for working with this archive and through that you will get a chance to query its content.
- What is the message identifier of the Audit Log message produced when an element is loaded from an archive?
