Pattern Definitions node

A Pattern Definitions node is a container for all the Pattern Define nodes in a Pattern Module. Currently Pattern Definitions are only used in the context of SQL Discovery and Integration.

Pattern Definitions node lifecycle

The following section describes the scenarios in which a Pattern Definitions node is created, updated or removed.

Creation

Pattern Definitions nodes are created as a result of activating a Pattern Module that contains a definitions block. As such the creation of Pattern Definitions nodes is driven by the management of Patterns. See Knowledge-management for details.

Update

Pattern Definitions nodes are never updated as they are defined in Pattern Modules and the act of editing a Pattern Module creates a new instance.

Removal

Pattern Definitions nodes are removed when their associated Pattern Modules are destroyed.
