GetDormantDIMDestCollectionKeys

Purpose

GetDormantDIMDestCollectionKeys returns a list of CMetaObjectClassKey objects (contains object id, object name, class id, and class name) that identify the collection of dormant objects associated with this CMetaObject for the specified relationship.

Description

The calling object can be dormant or active.

This enables a meta data browser to display the name/id of objects in a collection without having to read the entire collection of objects into memory. This is important for large collections that consume a large amount of process space if all read into memory.

The property id, property value and comparison operator on which to perform the search can all be specified. The search is performed on the list of objects in the collection. If multiple properties are specified for the search, the logical operator between the property searches must be specified.

The calling object may be dormant or active.

Requirements

The requirements are the same as for GetDormantDIMDestCollection.

Syntax

HRESULT GetDormantDIMDestCollectionKeys(
MetaObjectClassKeyVector& objectKeyList,
const MetaFilterInfoVector& propFilter,
const MetaObjectKeyVector& sortList,
const GUID& gRelID,
const OBJECTID_t lRelID = NULLLOID,
LPCTSTR sObjName = NULL,
const bool withLock = false,
const OBJECTID_t returnClass = NULLLOID,
const bool allClasses = false,
const bool skipValidation = false);
 
 

Argument

In/Out

Description

objectKeyList

In/Out

Reference to the list of CMetaObjects that will hold the collection returned. The list is cleared before adding the return collection

propFilter

In

List of FilterInfo objects containing the property id and value to use to perform the search

sortList

In

List of property identifiers (relative property id or name) to sort the collection by. The return list will be returned in ascending order and the sort will not be case specific

gRelID

In

Relationship GUID

lRelID

In

Relationship internal ID

StrObjName

In
(Optional)

Search string for names of objects in the class to be returned.

WithLock

In

WithLock=true keeps the class table locked for WRITE. Use within an explicit transaction. Set WithLock to true when one of the class objects will subsequently be updated within the transaction. Prevents deadlocks caused by Teradata promotional locks.

returnClass

In

If the allClasses parameter is = true, the returnClass parameter is ignored. If the allClasses parameter = false:

  • If returnClass = 0, the destination class defined in the relationship is returned.
  • If the destination class in the relationship is a superclass, return class defines the class type of object to return (the superclass or one of its subclasses)
  • If the destination class in the relationship is not a superclass and return class specifies a classid other than the destination class, an error will be returned

    allClasses

    In

    If the destination class in the relationship is a superclass, setting allClasses = true will return all class types (superclass and subclasses).

    If allClasses = false, the destination class returned is determined by the returnClass parameter.

    If allClasses = true and the destination class in the relationship is not a superclass, only objects of the destination class defined in the relationship are returned.

    If allClasses = true, the return list is sorted first by class and then by the sort properties specified.

    SkipValidation

    In

    The function validates that the id of the object is an object in the origin class (or subclass) of the relationship. If returnClass is specified, the function will validate that the returnClass is the destination class (or subclass) of the relationship. If skipValidation is true, this validation is not performed. If the validation is not performed and the validation would have returned an error, the function will return zero objects in the ObjectList.
