- DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA)
Create a Dataplex Entry Link. - EXAMPLES
-
To create a Dataplex Entry Link, you need to provide the entry link ID, the
entry group, the location, the project, the entry link type, and a path to a
YAML file containing the entry references. The entry references file should
contain a list of dictionaries, each representing an entry reference.
For example, to create an entry link of entry link type 'projects/655216118709/locations/global/entryLinkTypes/synonym' named 'my-entry-link' using entry references from 'entry_references.yaml', run:
gcloud alpha dataplex entry-links create my-entry-link --entry-group=my-entry-group --location=us-central1 --project=test-project --entry-link-type=projects/655216118709/locations/global/entryLinkTypes/synonym --entry-references=path/to/entry_references.yaml
Example of entry_references.yaml file:
- name: projects/test-project/locations/us-central1/entryGroups/my-entry-group/entries/my-entry-1 type: SOURCE path: my_path - name: projects/test-project/locations/us-central1/entryGroups/my-entry-group/entries/my-entry-2 type: TARGET
