ExternalClassDescription Properties

Specifies a ClassDescription object containing the fixed description (immutable metadata) of the class from which this object is instantiated.

Specifies the symbolic name of the Content Engine root class (for example, "Document") to which the class described by this external class description corresponds. This property can be null if no corresponding root class exists.

Specifies one of the following:

• The identity of the external class described by this external class description.
• The identity of the external class for which this external class alias defines a mapping.
• The identity of the external class to which this mapped property belongs.

For ExternalClassDescription objects only, this string is immutable and is unique within the repository in which the external class description belongs.

User-readable text that describes an object.

The text is not locale-specific to the retrieving user except for the following classes:

• ClassDescription
• PropertyDescription
• ClassDefinition
• PropertyTemplate
• PropertyDefinition

The user-readable, provider-specific name of an object. This property is usually the designated Name property of the object's class.

For CmAuditProcessingBookmark and AuditDefinition objects, this property is intended to identify client applications that process the audit log. For CmAuditProcessingBookmark objects, this property, in support of the audit disposition feature, identifies the client that created the object. For AuditDefinition objects, this property identifies a set of audit definitions for a given client or client functionality.

For CmAuditProcessingBookmark and AuditDefinition objects, it is recommended that you set this property. Specify a unique value to distinguish one client application from another. Note, however, that the server does not prevent identical display names across multiple CmAuditProcessingBookmark or AuditDefinition objects. Therefore, the client application is responsible for enforcing uniqueness.

Specifies an ExternalPropertyDescriptionSet object containing the set collection of ExternalPropertyDescription objects associated with this external class description.

A ReplicationDirection constant that specifies the direction in which instances of the external repository class described by this external class description can be replicated: inbound, outbound, or both.

Specifies the identity of the immediate superclass of the class described by this external class description. This property can be null if the repository does not have hierarchical classes or if the superclass of the described class is not a replicable class and is therefore absent from the ExternalClassDescriptions collection of the external repository.

Specifies the object store to which documents from this IBM® Content Manager OnDemand (CMOD) application group are federated or to which instances of this external class description can be replicated.
