Field Summary

static String	COUNTERPART_ID Label for the attribute; counterpartID is unique (except when null) among all attribute definitions, attribute organizers, classification nodes, and quantities of measure.
static String	DISPLAY_NAME Label for the attribute; displayName is the name displayed whenever the attribute definition is viewed outside of the context of its position within the attribute definition hierarchy, e.g.

Field Detail

DISPLAY_NAME

public static final String DISPLAY_NAME

Label for the attribute; displayName is the name displayed whenever the attribute definition is viewed outside of the context of its position within the attribute definition hierarchy, e.g. attribute defintions in the classification node.

Constant Field Values

COUNTERPART_ID

public static final String COUNTERPART_ID

Label for the attribute; counterpartID is unique (except when null) among all attribute definitions, attribute organizers, classification nodes, and quantities of measure. It is managed exclusively by CounterPart. Objects created by the CounterPart service will inherit this ID from the CounterPart classification being uploaded. Objects created by some other service will be assigned a unique ID (based on the network address of the server and the database ID of the object) when the object is first downloaded by the CounterPart service. Besides being used by CounterPart in its classification management role, this is the attribute/class/qom ID that is used by PartsLink search.

Method Detail

getDisplayName

public String getDisplayName()

Gets the value of the attribute: DISPLAY_NAME. displayName is the name displayed whenever the attribute definition is viewed outside of the context of its position within the attribute definition hierarchy, e.g. attribute defintions in the classification node.

Supported API: false

Returns:

String

setDisplayName

public void setDisplayName(String a_DisplayName)
                    throws WTPropertyVetoException

Sets the value of the attribute: DISPLAY_NAME. displayName is the name displayed whenever the attribute definition is viewed outside of the context of its position within the attribute definition hierarchy, e.g. attribute defintions in the classification node.

Supported API: false

Parameters:

a_DisplayName -

Throws:

WTPropertyVetoException

getCounterpartID

public String getCounterpartID()

Gets the value of the attribute: COUNTERPART_ID. counterpartID is unique (except when null) among all attribute definitions, attribute organizers, classification nodes, and quantities of measure. It is managed exclusively by CounterPart. Objects created by the CounterPart service will inherit this ID from the CounterPart classification being uploaded. Objects created by some other service will be assigned a unique ID (based on the network address of the server and the database ID of the object) when the object is first downloaded by the CounterPart service. Besides being used by CounterPart in its classification management role, this is the attribute/class/qom ID that is used by PartsLink search.

Supported API: false

Returns:

String

setCounterpartID

public void setCounterpartID(String a_CounterpartID)
                      throws WTPropertyVetoException

Sets the value of the attribute: COUNTERPART_ID. counterpartID is unique (except when null) among all attribute definitions, attribute organizers, classification nodes, and quantities of measure. It is managed exclusively by CounterPart. Objects created by the CounterPart service will inherit this ID from the CounterPart classification being uploaded. Objects created by some other service will be assigned a unique ID (based on the network address of the server and the database ID of the object) when the object is first downloaded by the CounterPart service.
