Defining metadata using a CSV file
You can choose to load all metadata information through a CSV file.
The CSV file must be in the following format:
- Header: [object_id, cluster_id, db_column(s)] from grid_metadata table. Essentially this information comes from the metadata configuration file.
- Data Rows: data values that follow the order of the header.
Example:
object_id,cluster_id,meta_col1,meta_col2,meta_col3
jsmith,1,Jim Smith,5559876543,jsmith@email.com
This example shows the User object type, where meta_col1 represents the user's full name, meta_col2 is the user's phone number, and meta_col3 is the email address.
Important: The object_id must match the actual LSF object
instance exactly. For example, if 'jsmith' is specified as the object id then it must match exactly
this string in order for metadata to display the window.
