Package JSON contents

Source systems configuration

Source systems configurations are managed inside a JSON array block named sourceSystems.

Key	Value type	Example	Description
sourceId	String	d5497314-46b0-416f-a8dd-8e619c8c6edc	Source system's unique id. Value is optional, and if not provided, it will be generated during import.
sourceName	String	DV_SOURCE	Source system's unique name, required value. Normally in upper case, and if otherwise, it will be capitalized during import.
description	String	Source system's description	Optional value.
isDeleted	Boolean	false	Whether source system is considered deleted or not. Supported values are 'true' and 'false'. Deleted source systems no longer show up as possible values during source entity creation or editing.

You can add a new source system, update the contents of an existing one or delete it (only "soft" detetion is available).

Examples

Source System Configuration

JSON

"sourceSystems": [
  ...
  {
    "sourceId": "d5497314-46b0-416f-a8dd-8e619c8c6edc",
    "sourceName": "DV_SOURCE",
    "description": "Source system's description",
    "isDeleted": false
  }
  ...
]

If an existing source system needs to be deleted, simply remove it from the set of values before importing the configuration package, or set the source system's "isDeleted" property to true.
