Enumerated Links File

An enumerated links file is a CSV file that contains pairs of objects you want to link. The file must use UTF-8 character encoding.

The following table describes the columns for each row in the enumerated links file:

Column	Description
sourcePath	Location of the source element identified by its name and path.
sourceClass	Class of the source element. Optional.
destinationPath	Location of the target element identified by its name and path.
destinationClass	Class of the target element. Optional.
expression	The link expression that appears in the data lineage diagram when you hover over the target element. Optional.

If the enumerated links file has a column header, the optional columns do not need to be included in the file. If the file does not have a column header, all columns, including the optional columns, must be included.

Each row in the enumerated links file represents one link. The actual links in the custom resource might exceed the number of rows in the file. Link replication can occur when Metadata Manager links an object in one resource to an endpoint or to a non-endpoint object in another resource.

If an object has multiple locations, Metadata Manager creates links to this object for all paths.

If different objects share the same location, Metadata Manager uses the class name to distinguish the location. If Metadata Manager cannot distinguish objects by class name, it creates links to all objects in that location.
