UpgradeAddOn Properties

Specifies whether the addon is optional or recommended for installation into an object store. During object store creation, Administration Console for Content Platform Engine selects for installation those addons having a type of recommended. Therefore, you should define an addon as recommended only if the functionality it provides is very likely to be required in most installations. The majority of addons should be defined as optional and must be explicitly selected for installation. Note that although the default Administration Console behavior is to install recommended addons, this is not required; you can deselect a recommended addon if you do not need the functionality it provides.

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

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.

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.

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).

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 a list of IDs that identify the add-on versions upgraded by an UpgradeAddOn object. The list must contain one or more IDs (and will usually contain only one).

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:

• PropertyDescription.get_Id() is equal to PropertyTemplate.get_Id(), which is equal to PropertyDefinition.get_PrimaryId().
• PropertyDefinition.get_Id() is not equal to PropertyDefinition.get_PrimaryId().
• PropertyDefinition.get_Id() is not equal to PropertyDescription.get_Id().

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.

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).

Specifies a list of IDs corresponding to the prerequisite add-ons that must be installed prior to the installation of this add-on or upgrade add-on.

Specifies the language in which the pre- or post-import scripts are written. This property's value must be set to JavaScript.

The IDs of AddOn objects superseded by this AddOn.

Although present on the AddOn object and, by inheritance, the UpgradeAddOn object, this property has no use on the UpgradeAddOn object..

A newer version AddOn must specify in this property the IDs of the prior version AddOn objects that it functionally replaces, allowing an application with a dependency on that replaced (superseded) functionality to determine whether the functionality is available through the superseding AddOn. (See also the isAddOnInstalled helper method.)

Specifies a list of IDs that identify the add-on versions logically produced as a result of applying this UpgradeAddOn object. The list must contain one or more IDs (and will usually contain only one).
