You might need to update synchronized metadata for different reasons. For example, you might want to change the filter path to include different metadata. You might also need to update the synchronized metadata if the metadata in the filter path has changed. For example, assets are added, moved, or deleted from the path.
Synchronizing updates when you modify a filter condition
When you modify a filter condition in your IDMC metadata configuration, Metadata Command Center starts a new IDMC Metadata Bulk Sync job. This job synchronizes metadata from Data Integration and Application Integration assets into the catalog, but doesn't remove previously synchronized assets that don't match the updated filter condition. To update the catalog to contain only assets that match an updated filter condition, wait for the IDMC Metadata Bulk Sync job to complete, and then disable IDMC metadata configuration. This starts an IDMC Metadata Purge job. When the purge job completes, enable IDMC metadata configuration. This starts a new IDMC Metadata Bulk Sync job. When the job completes, the catalog updates to contain only assets that match the updated filter condition.
Note: You don't need to disable and enable IDMC metadata configuration when you add a new filter condition.
Synchronizing updates when you add, move, or delete assets out of a filter path
If you add an asset to a path specified in an IDMC metadata filter condition, the asset gets synchronized with the catalog when the scheduled IDMC Metadata Realtime Sync job runs. This is because the IDMC Metadata Realtime Sync job synchronizes design-time metadata updates from the Data Integration and Application Integration assets into the catalog.
After you configure IDMC metadata, if you move assets from a project not included in the filter condition to a project included in the filter condition, the asset doesn't get synchronized with the catalog. For example, if you apply a filter condition with the path as Project1/Folder1/* and save the IDMC metadata configuration, then all assets under the Project1/Folder1 path will be available in the catalog. Now, if you move an asset, Asset2, from another path to the Project1/Folder1 path, then Asset2 won't be available in the catalog. To update the catalog to include Asset2, rerun the completed mapping and data synchronization tasks.
To rerun a task on the IDMC Metadata tab of the Monitor page, hover the mouse over the task and click Retry from the Action menu.
If you delete an asset from a path specified in an IDMC metadata filter condition, the asset gets deleted from the catalog when the scheduled IDMC Metadata Realtime Sync job runs.
