Constructor Detail

VersionDescriptionDefinition

public VersionDescriptionDefinition(LibrarySessionInterface session)
                             throws IfsException

Constructs a Definition explicitly capturing the session. The initial ClassObject will be VersionDescription.

Parameters:

session - the current session

Throws:

IfsException - if the operation fails

(Published)

VersionDescriptionDefinition

public VersionDescriptionDefinition(LibrarySessionInterface session,
                                    String className)
                             throws IfsException

Constructs a Definition, explicitly capturing the session and setting the initial classobject.

Parameters:

session - the current session

className - the initial class name

Throws:

IfsException - if the operation fails

(Unpublished)

Method Detail

setNewVersionBasedOn

public void setNewVersionBasedOn(boolean basedOn)
                          throws IfsException

This option specifies whether new Versions are based on the old Versions (true), or does this definition completely describe the new Version (false).

Parameters:

basedOn - true if new version should be based on previous version, false otherwise.

Throws:

IfsException - if operation fails.

(Published)

getNewVersionBasedOn

public boolean getNewVersionBasedOn()
                             throws IfsException

Returns the value of the NewVersionBasedOn flag.

Returns:

the value of the NewVersionBasedOn flag.

Throws:

IfsException - if the operation fails

(Published)

setOwnerBasedOnPublicObjectOption

public void setOwnerBasedOnPublicObjectOption(boolean value)
                                       throws IfsException

This option specifies whether the new VersionDescription should have the same owner as the PublicObject it is refering to. If false, VersionDescription will have the owner that created it. This option is used only upon creating a new family. Upon a regular check-in, this option is a no-op.

Parameters:

value - if true, owner is based on PublicObject.

Throws:

IfsException - if the operation fails

(Published)

getOwnerBasedOnPublicObjectOption

public boolean getOwnerBasedOnPublicObjectOption()
                                          throws IfsException

This returns true if the Owner of this VersionDescription will be same as owner of PublicObject that is associated with it.

Returns:

true if the owner is based on PublicObject

Throws:

IfsException - if the operation fails

(Unpublished)

setVersionSeriesDefinition

public void setVersionSeriesDefinition(VersionSeriesDefinition def)
                                throws IfsException

Set the Version Series definition for the new PublicObject. This option is only valid when the performed operation results in the creation of a new version series (e.g. if LibrarySession.createPublicObject() is called). For all other operations (e.g., VersionSeries.newRevision()) it is ignored. If you do not specify a VersionSeriesDefinition, a default one is created for you (when appropriate).

Parameters:

def - the Version Series definition for the new object.

Throws:

IfsException - if operation fails.

(Published)

getVersionSeriesDefinition

public VersionSeriesDefinition getVersionSeriesDefinition()
                                                   throws IfsException

Returns the VersionSeries definition, or null if none specified.

Returns:

the VersionSeries definition, or null if none specified.

Throws:

IfsException - if the operation fails

(Published)

setPublicObjectDefinition

public void setPublicObjectDefinition(PublicObjectDefinition def)
                               throws IfsException

Set the Public Object definition for the new Version. A new PublicObject will be created from the PublicObjectDefinition

Parameters:

def - the PublicObject definition for the new versioned object.

Throws:

IfsException - if operation fails.

(Published)

getPublicObjectDefinition

public PublicObjectDefinition getPublicObjectDefinition()
                                                 throws IfsException

Get the PublicObject definition for the new VersionDescription. Return null if no value was specified.

Returns:

PublicObject definition for the new object.

Throws:

IfsException - if the operation fails

(Published)

setPublicObject

public void setPublicObject(PublicObject po)
                     throws IfsException

Deprecated. CM SDK 10gR2: use setPublicObjectValue()

Set the Version Description definition to reference an exiting PublicObject. Having two version descriptions reference the same PublicObject is probably more typical in a Branching operation rather than a simple linear versioning operation.

Parameters:

po - the existing PublicObject which this new version description will reference.

Throws:

IfsException - if operation fails.

(Published)

setPublicObjectValue

public void setPublicObjectValue(AttributeValue value)
                          throws IfsException

Set the Version Description definition to reference an exiting PublicObject. Having two version descriptions reference the same PublicObject is probably more typical in a Branching operation rather than a simple linear versioning operation.

Parameters:

value - the existing PublicObject which this new version description will reference.

Throws:

IfsException - if operation fails.

(Published)

getPublicObject

public PublicObject getPublicObject()

Deprecated. CM SDK 10gR2: use getPublicObjectValue()

Returns the previously specified PublicObject, or null if no value was specified.

Returns:

the previously specified PublicObject, or null if no value was specified.

Throws:

IfsException - if the operation fails

(Published)

getPublicObjectValue

public AttributeValue getPublicObjectValue()
                                    throws IfsException
