Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Description

This method is deprecated. Use a rule-specific method to delete rules (i.e. IClassSchemaEdit.AlterDomain for attribute rules, IGeometricNetwork.DeleteRule for connectivity rules, IRelationshipClass.DeleteRelationshipRule for relationship rules).

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

deleteRule in interface IValidation

Parameters:

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

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

validate

public ISelectionSet validate(IQueryFilter selection,
                              IWorkspace workspace)
                       throws IOException,
                              AutomationException

Validates the selection.

Description

This method creates a selection set that contains the underlying class' invalid objects.

A query filter can be provided to validate a portion of the class' objects, but passing a null value will evaluate all of the class' objects.

The Workspace parameter indicates where the selection set is to be created. In most cases, a null value can be used, indicating that the class' workspace be used. If necessary, a scratch workspace may also be used.

Remarks

Validate on a row occurs in five steps:

1. Validate the subtype

2. Validate the attribute rules

3. Validate the network connectivity rules (if network feature)

4. Validate the relationship rules

5. Perform custom validation (using optional class extension)

The validate process stops once a row is found invalid. For example, if a network feature violates an attribute rule, the validation process stops and the feature's network connectivity rules are not evaluated until the attribute rule violation is corrected.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

validate in interface IValidation

Parameters:

selection - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IQueryFilter (in)

workspace - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IWorkspace (in)

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.ISelectionSet

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

validateSelection

public ISelectionSet validateSelection(ISelectionSet selection,
                                       IWorkspace workspace)
                                throws IOException,
                                       AutomationException

Validates the selection.

Description

This method creates a selection set that contains the underlying class' invalid objects.

A selection set must be passed to the first parameter, indicating that a subset of the class' objects should be evaluated. Unlike the query filter parameter of the Validate method, this parameter requires a valid selection set, and passing a null value will cause the method to fail.

The Workspace parameter indicates where the selection set is to be created. In most cases, a null value can be used, indicating that the class' workspace be used. If necessary, a scratch workspace may also be used.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

validateSelection in interface IValidation

Parameters:

selection - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.ISelectionSet (in)

workspace - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IWorkspace (in)

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.ISelectionSet

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

validateSet

public ISet validateSet(ISet selection)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Validates the set.

Description

ValidateSet function takes the ISet parameter and validates that set based on the rules associated with the object class. It returns a ISet object containing all of the invalid features that it found in that set.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

validateSet in interface IValidation

Parameters:

selection - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.ISet (in)

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.ISet

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

alterRule

public 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.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:

alterRule in interface IValidation2

Parameters:

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

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.
