activate

Activate global generation

You can use this method to activate global generation for a rule.

activity

Execute operation

You can use this method to execute an operation on a specification. Existing rules are taken into account. In Customizing, an operation can be set as a user operation or a non-user operation. Operations that are declared as non-user operations are not available in the QPPD interface. They can only be executed using the coding, such as this BUS method.

change

Change data

Change data in the specification. The change parameters are passed in the form of node data tables. Depending on the number of fields defined per line, the following can be achieved: GUID: An existing node is determined for the GUID. VTYP: An existing node is determined for the VTYP if this is marked as unique in the hierarchy. Otherwise, a new node is created for the VTYP. None: The containing VTYP in the hierarchy is determined for each entry in a value table. If no corresponding node exists, it is created. However, all of this only works with VTYPs marked as unique in the hierarchy. This method should be enclosed in a CREATE method in each concrete VART class. In their implementation, specific conversions of the corresponding VART structure can be implemented if required.

copy

Copying a complete specification

With this method, a complete specification including data, subnodes, etc. can be copied. It should be noted that the GUID and VNR still change. The status of the copied rule is also not transferred; the new rule has the initial status.

create

Create a specification

Create a new specification. This method should be enclosed in a CREATE method in each concrete VART class. The implementation of this should include a call with a fixed specification type. The type of the return parameter should also correspond to the concrete class. In this way, the instantiation of the concrete VART class is kept as simple as possible. Above all, this eliminates the need for explicit casting of the object reference if concrete methods are to be accessed.

create_child

Create an original child for a node

Use this method to create a child under a specification or item.

create_copy

Creating a node as a copy

Create a copy of a rule. It is important to note here that this is not a 1 to 1 copy, as the VNR and VVS change as if a new specification were being created. Only the data is identical. The status is also not transferred, so if a released specification is copied, the new specification is not released but is in the initial status.

create_ref

Create a child with a reference

create_rel

Creating a relationship between two existing nodes

create_version

Create a new version for a specification

delete

Deleting a specification

Deleting an entire specification or deleting individual data of a specification and its children

delete_rel

Delete the relation between two nodes
