public class MaxAttributeCfg
extends Mbo
implements MaxAttributeCfgRemote

Mbo object to represent MaxAttributeCfg.

See Configure Package description.

This is a system level object.

The key attributes for this object are ObjectName, AttributeName.

The attributes in this object are the same as in MaxAttribute, plus some additional attributes in MaxAttributeCfg, which are described below. Refer to MaxAttribute for a description of the common attributes.

Attribute Name	Description
Changed	This is used by the configuration process. On MaxAttributeCfg, the values of Changed can be as follows (they are set via the business object, not directly via the UI). N = No changes. D = Datatype or length change, need to reconfigure table because it is not empty. This value is used only for tables (not for views). A = For a table: Datatype or length change when the table is empty and can be altered. For a view: The attribute is being changed and we intend to recreate the view. Y = Other changes (metadata only). I = Insert (add) new user-defined attribute. R = Remove (delete) user-defined attribute.
EAuditTbName	Non-persistent attribute; same as MaxObjectCfg.
IsHandleColumn	Non-persistent attribute; identifies whether this columnname is referenced as handlecolumnname by another attribute in this set.
LangTableName	Non-persistent attribute; same as MaxObjectCfg.
NextSequenceNo	Non-persistent attribute. If there is a SequenceName, then NextSequenceNo is the next value to be applied.
SequenceName	Non-persistent attribute. If this attribute has a related row in MaxSequence, or the user wishes to create one, this is the sequence name.
ViewChanged	Non-persistent attribute. Will equal "Add", "Change", "Delete", or null, depending on the value of Changed. For display in the UI.

Attribute Name	Attribute Value
CanAutoNum	False
Changed	Same as baseCol
ClassName	null
DomainID	null
EAuditEnabled	False
ESigEnabled	False
IsLDOwner	False
MLSupported	False
MLInUse	False

Required	False
SameAsObject, SameAsAttribute	If null on baseCol, then set equal to tbname and name of baseCol. Else use sameastable and sameascolumn of baseCol.

Parameters:

java.rmi.RemoteException

getSameAsParent

public MboRemote getSameAsParent()
                          throws MXException,
                                 java.rmi.RemoteException

If this column is "sameas" something, get the Mbo that it is the same as. If the sameas column is in this table, it will check this MboSet, otherwise it will use the relationship SAMEASPARENT.

Specified by:

getSameAsParent in interface MaxAttributeCfgRemote

Returns:

Mbo for the "sameas" parent. If there is no "sameas" then this will be null.

Throws:

MXException

java.rmi.RemoteException

See Also:

checkSameAsChild

public void checkSameAsChild()
                      throws MXException,

setValuesForSameAs

public void setValuesForSameAs(MboRemote sameasMbo,
                      boolean changeMustBe,

                               java.rmi.RemoteException

Set values for maxtype, length and scale on this mbo to satisfy "sameas" processing. Called from MaxAttributeCfgSet applySameAsValuesWithinThisTable and various field validation classes.

This sets values with NOVALIDATION_AND_NOACTION because the referenced column has already been validated, and we need to avoid looping.

This method calls sameAsMiscChecks.

Specified by:

setValuesForSameAs in interface MaxAttributeCfgRemote

Parameters:

sameasMbo - The Mbo that contains the maxtype, length and scale that we are going to carry over to "this" mbo.

changeMustBe - True to also change "mustbe", else False

mustBeValue - The new value of "mustbe", which takes effect only if changeMustBe is True.

Throws:

MXException

java.rmi.RemoteException

If this is "sameas" an internal attribute, then make maxtype, length, etc. readonly.

Specified by:

preventInternalChanges in interface MaxAttributeCfgRemote

Returns:

sameAsMiscChecks

public void sameAsMiscChecks(MboRemote sameasMbo,
                    boolean adjustYORN)
                      throws MXException,
                             java.rmi.RemoteException

After the values for maxtype, length and scale have been set on this mbo (such as via setValuesForSameAs or one of the field validation classes), this method checks to see if various attributes are still valid for the new parameters.

This method checks the following attributes. If the attribute is not null, then it is revalidated. If the validation fails, then the value is set to null.

1. DefaultValue -- If invalid then it is set to null.
2. DomainID -- If invalid then it is set to null.
3. If adjustYORN is True and maxtype is YORN, then do the following:
   1. Set "required" to True (nulls not allowed).
   2. Set "defaultvalue" to the value on sameasMbo. If the value on sameasMbo null or not equal to "0" or "1", this will be set to "0" (No).

Specified by:

sameAsMiscChecks in interface MaxAttributeCfgRemote

Parameters:

sameasMbo - The mbo that this is the "sameas," used when adjustYORN is True.

adjustYORN - True if step 3 above should be performed for YORN columns.

Specified by:

validateDomain in interface MaxAttributeCfgRemote

Parameters:

domainid - The domainid to be validated for this attribute.

errorTitle - The attribute title to be used in the error message (if domainid is not valid). This depends on the attributename we are checking.

attrmaxtype - Normally this is just the maxtype of this attribute. It is provided in a parameter so that this method can be called from field validation of maxtype.

attrlength - Normally this is just the length of this attribute. It is provided in a parameter so that this method can be called from field validation of length.

attrscale - Normally this is just the scale of this attribute. It is provided in a parameter so that this method can be called from field validation of scale.

whatToValidate - Can equal the following:

• 0 to validate all attributes of the attribute against the valuelist (maxtype, length, and scale). This is be used when called from validateDomain(String).
• 1 to validate only the maxtype attribute. This is used when called from FldMaxAttributeCfgMaxType.
