Creates a new MetadataImport in a given project and location.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: metastore1-beta --scope <scope> projects locations-services-metadata-imports-create ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <parent> (string)
    • Required. The relative resource name of the service in which to create a metastore import, in the following form:projects/{project_number}/locations/{location_id}/services/{service_id}.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

MetadataImport:
  create-time: string
  database-dump:
    database-type: string
    gcs-uri: string
    source-database: string
    type: string
  description: string
  end-time: string
  name: string
  state: string
  update-time: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . create-time=aliquyam
    • Output only. The time when the metadata import was started.
  • database-dump database-type=dolores
    • The type of the database.
  • gcs-uri=sadipscing
    • A Cloud Storage object or folder URI that specifies the source from which to import metadata. It must begin with gs://.
  • source-database=erat
    • The name of the source database.

  • type=aliquyam

    • Optional. The type of the database dump. If unspecified, defaults to MYSQL.

  • .. description=amet

    • The description of the metadata import.
  • end-time=est
    • Output only. The time when the metadata import finished.
  • name=et
    • Immutable. The relative resource name of the metadata import, of the form:projects/{project_number}/locations/{location_id}/services/{service_id}/metadataImports/{metadata_import_id}.
  • state=sea
    • Output only. The current state of the metadata import.
  • update-time=consetetur
    • Output only. The time when the metadata import was last updated.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional Method Properties

You may set the following properties to further configure the call. Please note that -p is followed by one or more key-value-pairs, and is called like this -p k1=v1 k2=v2 even though the listing below repeats the -p for completeness.

  • -p metadata-import-id=string

    • Required. The ID of the metadata import, which is used as the final component of the metadata import's name.This value must be between 1 and 64 characters long, begin with a letter, end with a letter or number, and consist of alpha-numeric ASCII characters or hyphens.

  • -p request-id=string

    • Optional. A request ID. Specify a unique request ID to allow the server to ignore the request if it has completed. The server will ignore subsequent requests that provide a duplicate request ID for at least 60 minutes after the first request.For example, if an initial request times out, followed by another request with the same request ID, the server ignores the second request to prevent the creation of duplicate commitments.The request ID must be a valid UUID (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier#Format) A zero UUID (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000) is not supported.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for response.

  • -p callback=string

    • JSONP

  • -p fields=string

    • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

  • -p key=string

    • API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string

    • Available to use for quota purposes for server-side applications. Can be any arbitrary string assigned to a user, but should not exceed 40 characters.

  • -p upload-type=string

    • Legacy upload protocol for media (e.g. "media", "multipart").

  • -p upload-protocol=string

    • Upload protocol for media (e.g. "raw", "multipart").
