Method Detail

alterRule

void alterRule(IRule rule)
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

Alter the existing validation rule.

Remarks

The AlterRule method is used to change the characteristics of an existing rule. This is currently implemented to change a subset of properties for connectivity rules only. These properties are:

• minimum and maximum cardinalities
• default junction for junction connectivity rules
• default junction classID for edge connectivity rules
• default junction subtype code for edge connectivity rules

To alter other properties of a connectivity rule, the rule must be deleted and recreated with the appropriate changes.

Parameters:

rule - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IRule (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.
