🔍 Code Extractor

Represents a submitted data policy operation for tracking the status of data policy requests such as exporting employee company data.

Purpose

This class serves as a data model for tracking data policy operations in an Office 365 environment. It inherits from Entity and is used to represent and monitor data policy requests submitted by administrators, such as data export requests for employees. The class provides a structured way to track the lifecycle and status of these operations.

Source Code

class DataPolicyOperation(Entity):
    """
    Represents a submitted data policy operation. It contains necessary information for tracking the status of
    an operation. For example, a company administrator can submit a data policy operation request to export an
    employee's company data, and then later track that request.
    """

Parameters

Parameter Details

bases: Inherits from Entity class, which provides base functionality for Office 365 entities including common properties and methods for entity management

Return Value

Instantiation returns a DataPolicyOperation object that represents a data policy operation. The object inherits all properties and methods from the Entity base class and can be used to track and manage data policy operations.

Dependencies

• office365

Required Imports

from office365.entity import Entity
from office365.runtime.client_value_collection import ClientValueCollection

Usage Example

from office365.entity import Entity
from office365.onedrive.datapolicyoperations.data_policy_operation import DataPolicyOperation
from office365.runtime.client_context import ClientContext

# Authenticate with Office 365
ctx = ClientContext(site_url).with_credentials(user_credentials)

# Retrieve a data policy operation by ID
operation_id = 'operation-guid-here'
operation = ctx.web.get_data_policy_operation(operation_id)
ctx.load(operation)
ctx.execute_query()

# Access operation properties (inherited from Entity)
print(f'Operation ID: {operation.id}')
print(f'Operation Status: {operation.status}')

# Create a new data policy operation request
new_operation = DataPolicyOperation()
# Set properties and submit through appropriate Office 365 API endpoint

Best Practices

• Always authenticate properly with Office 365 before attempting to access or create DataPolicyOperation instances
• Use the appropriate Office 365 client context to load and execute queries when retrieving operation data
• Ensure proper permissions are granted to the authenticated user for data policy operations
• Track operation status regularly as data policy operations may take time to complete
• Handle exceptions when loading or creating operations as network or permission issues may occur
• The class primarily serves as a data container and inherits most functionality from Entity base class
• Use Office 365 SDK methods to properly instantiate and populate instances rather than direct construction
• Consider implementing proper error handling and retry logic for long-running operations
