OMRS Archive Manager

An open metadata archive provides pre-built definitions for types and metadata instances.

OMRSArchiveManager manages the loading and unloading of open metadata archives for the local OMRS repository. It is invoked at server start up for a cohort member and whenever a new open metadata archive is loaded via a REST API.

During server start up, it first calls the Repository Content Manager to load the types into the local repository (if any) and to maintain the cache of know and active types in the server.

It then calls the Local Repository Instance Event Processor to load the instances.

A description of the utilities for building archives can be found in the open-metadata-archives modules.

Details for configuring a metadata access store to load archives can be found in the Administration Guide.
