TableDefinition Properties

This topic alphabetically lists the properties that apply to the TableDefinition class.

ClassDescription Property



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

Creator Property



Indicates the name of the user assigned as the creator of the object.

Settability of this property is read-only for most users. For users who have been granted privileged write access (AccessRight.PRIVILEGED_WRITE), this property is settable only on create. After initial object creation, this property is read-only for all users.

TargetAccessRequired: READ

DateCreated Property



Indicates the date and time the object was created. The Content Engine server stores dates and times using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For more information, see Timestamps.

Settability of this property is read-only for most users. For users who have been granted privileged write access (AccessRight.PRIVILEGED_WRITE), this property is settable only on create. After initial object creation, this property is read-only for all users.

DateLastModified Property



Indicates the date and time the object was last modified. The Content Engine server stores dates and times using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For more information, see Timestamps.

Settability of this property is read-only for most users. For users who have been granted privileged write access (AccessRight.PRIVILEGED_WRITE), this property is read/write. (The read/write access for those users can only change if a change is made to the ACL on the object store that controls who has privileged write access to objects in that object store).

RequiresUniqueElements: false
Settability: READ_WRITE
TargetAccessRequired: READ

Id Property



A representation of the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID), a unique 128-bit number, that is assigned to this Content Engine object when the object is created. When converted to a string, the Id property is typically depicted as 32 hexadecimal characters enclosed by brackets in the following format: {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}. For example, {3F2504E0-4F89-11D3-9A0C-0305E82C3301}.

For User and Group classes, the Id property takes the value of the Security Identifier (SID) rather than the 128-bit GUID. The string representation of the SID is in this example format: S-1-5-21-1559522492-2815155736-3711640725-55269. When Active Directory is used as the directory service for IBM FileNet P8, calls to User.get_Id() and Group.get_Id() always return the current SID for the principal, even if this user or group has only historical SIDs populating the Active Directory server.

For a given property representation, the Id property has the following characteristics:

For a newly created document object, you can override the Id property of its associated VersionSeries object before you save or check in the document for the first time.

LastModifier Property



Indicates the name of the user who last modified this object.

Settability of this property is read-only for most users. For users who have been granted privileged write access (AccessRight.PRIVILEGED_WRITE), this property is read/write. (The read/write access for those users could only change if a change is made to the ACL on the object store that controls who has privileged write access to objects in that object store).

Name Property



The name for this object.

For most classes, this property is read-only and returns the value of the designated name property for the object, or its ID if there is no name property. If ClassDescription.NamePropertyIndex has a value, this property contains the value of the designated name property. If there is no designated name property value, and the object has an Id property, this property contains the string value of the Id property. If neither of these conditions is satisfied, this property contains an empty string.

For a ComponentRelationship object, this property is read/write and specifies the name of the object.
