When you create a custom resource, you can specify an additional input file that contains pairs of objects that you want to link. Enumerated links are the pairs of objects that you want to link. Use enumerated links when you cannot create links through a linking rule.
The enumerated links file contains one row for each pair of objects that you want to link. The file links objects in the custom resource with objects in a custom, packaged, universal, or business glossary resource so that you can run data lineage analysis across the metadata sources. The enumerated links file has a CSV file format.
Use enumerated links to create links between the following resource types:
Custom resource to another custom resource
Custom resource to a packaged resource
Custom resource to a universal resource
Custom resource to a business glossary resource
Business glossary resource to a packaged resource
Business glossary resource to a universal resource
You can also use enumerated links to create links between objects in the same custom resource.
