Promoting semantic types across environments
Exporting semantic types
You can export one or more semantic types from your source environment so that they are ready to be imported into the target environment.
When you export a compound semantic type which references other semantic types, only the names of the references to the children types are exported.
Before you begin
Your Talend Cloud user must have the Semantic types manager role of the Dictionary service application assigned in Talend Management Console, in addition to any of the Talend Cloud Data Stewardship or Talend Cloud Data Preparation roles.
Procedure
Results
The semantic types are exported in a .json file. You can now import the file into the target environment.
Importing semantic types
Before you begin
- Your Talend Cloud user must have the Semantic types manager role of the Dictionary service application assigned in Talend Management Console, in addition to any of the Talend Cloud Data Stewardship or Talend Cloud Data Preparation roles.
- When importing a compound semantic type, all children types referenced by it should have been already published to Talend Dictionary Service in the target environment.
Procedure
Results
The semantic types are imported and automatically published to Talend Dictionary Service, and the Modified By and Modified On values are updated accordingly.
