Constructor Detail

VersionedWorkspace

public VersionedWorkspace(Object obj)
                   throws IOException

Construct a VersionedWorkspace using a reference to such an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server. This is semantically equivalent to casting obj to VersionedWorkspace.
Casting to this class from the return value of a method will not work, as this class represents an abstract class in ArcObjects.

   * 
VersionedWorkspace o = (VersionedWorkspace)obj; // will not work 

 
VersionedWorkspace o = new VersionedWorkspace(obj); // Use this constructor instead

* @param obj an object returned from ArcGIS Engine or Server

Throws:: IOException - if there are interop problems VersionedWorkspace theVersionedWorkspace = (VersionedWorkspace) obj;

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compare this object with another

Overrides:: equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

the hashcode for this object

Overrides:: hashCode in class Object

public void removeIWorkspaceEventsListener(IWorkspaceEvents theListener)
                                    throws IOException

removeIWorkspaceEventsListener. Stop listening to events generated by this class.

Parameters:: theListener - An object that implements the com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IWorkspaceEvents interface.
Throws:: IOException - If there are communications problems.

getVersions

public IEnumVersionInfo getVersions()
                             throws IOException,
                                    AutomationException

All versions the user owns and those which are public or protected.

Remarks

The Versions method will return an enumeration of all versions which the connected user owns and versions owned by other users whose access property is "public".

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:: getVersions in interface IVersionedWorkspace

Returns:: A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IEnumVersionInfo
Throws:: IOException - If there are interop problems.; AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getDefaultVersion

public IVersion getDefaultVersion()
                           throws IOException,
                                  AutomationException

The Default version.

Remarks



The DEFAULT version is always owned by the ArcSDE administrative user. The version is required by the geodatabase and its access property should remain public or protected.

If it is the application developer's goal to obtain a reference to the DEFAULT version, it is recommended to use the DefaultVersion property as opposed to passing in a literal string to FindVersion method. The DefaultVersion method will always return a IVersion object referencing the default version of the workspace from which the name can be obtained through VersionName property on the IVersionInfo interface.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:: getDefaultVersion in interface IVersionedWorkspace

Returns:: A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IVersion
Throws:: IOException - If there are interop problems.; AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

findVersion

public IVersion findVersion(String name)
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

Finds a specific version given it's name.

Remarks

FindVersion returns an IVersion interface which is commonly used to read or set a version's properties. The interface requires a string as input. The value of the string is case sensitive and a version's owner should be prefixed as owner.version. If an owner is not specified, only the versions which the user is connected owns are searched.

If it is the application developer's goal to obtain a reference to the DEFAULT version, it is recommended to use the DefaultVersion property as opposed to passing in a literal string to FindVersion method. The DefaultVersion method will always return a IVersion object referencing the default version of the workspace from which the name can be obtained through VersionName property on the IVersionInfo interface.

Product Availability

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

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:: findVersion in interface IVersionedWorkspace

Parameters:: name - The name (in)
Returns:: A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IVersion
Throws:: IOException - If there are interop problems.; AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

compress

public void compress()
              throws IOException,
                     AutomationException

Compresses the database by removing states not referenced by a version.

Remarks

Versioned workspace compression is available using the Compress method. Compressing the versioned workspace will remove those database states not referenced by a version.

Only the ArcSDE administrator user can execute the compress method.

getRecommendedReconcileOrder

public IEnumVersionInfo getRecommendedReconcileOrder()
                                              throws IOException,
                                                     AutomationException

An ordered list of versions that can be used to optimize reconciliation against the default version.

Remarks

The RecommendedReconcileOrder method returns an enumeration of version names based upon the ascending order of each version's common ancestor state with respect to the DEFAULT version. If a version's common ancestor state is equal to or greater than the state the DEFAULT version references, it will not be included in the enumeration.

The method is intended to be used prior to running a compress. If all or some of the versions returned by the RecommendedReconcileOrder are reconciled based upon the enumeration's order, the compress operation will be able to move more rows from a table's versioned delta tables to the base tables. The more versions reconciled based upon the order of versions returned, more rows will be compressed to the base table.

Compressing a versioned database can improve query performance by reducing the number of rows in a versioned table's delta tables. It is recommended after compressing to update each feature dataset's DBMS table statistics by executing the IDatasetAnalyze::Analyze method interface or your DBMS specific command.

                         AutomationException

Reconciles the current version with a target version.

Remarks

The Reconcile function reconciles the current edit version with the specified target version. The target version must be an ancestor of the current version or an error will be returned. The target version name passed in is case-sensitive and should take the form {owner}.{version_name} for example, SDE.DEFAULT.

If the returned boolean value from Reconcile is TRUE, then conflicts were detected. Otherwise no conflicts were detected.

Calling Reconcile will abort the current edit operation therefore any edits made within an open edit operation when reconcile is called will be lost. If there is an open edit operation it is good practice to call StopEditOperation prior to calling Reconcile

canPost

public boolean canPost()
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException

Returns a boolean if the version can be posted to the reconcile version.

Remarks

The CanPost method is only true if IVersionEdit.Reconcile has been performed and the reconcile operation has not been undone. CanPost does not check if the target version has been redefined since the reconcile operation.

The Post method requires that the current edit version has been reconciled with any ancestor versions prior to being called. The implicit locking during a reconcile should greatly increase the chances of the source and target versions being ready to post. There is a possibility that these two versions could be out of sync, possibly do to the target version changing after a reconcile operation, and in this case an error will be returned to the application on the post call. It is the application developer�s responsibility to check the CanPost method prior to calling post and handling the post errors mentioned above thrown during the Post operation.

Post first performs a save and then synchronizes the target version with the current edit version. The Post operation cannot be undone.

post

public void post(String versionName)
          throws IOException,
                 AutomationException

Posts the current version to the reconcilled version.

Remarks

The Post method requires that the current edit version has been reconciled with any ancestor versions prior to being called. The implicit locking during a reconcile should greatly increase the chances of the source and target versions being ready to post. There is a possibility that these two versions could be out of sync, possible do to the target version changing after a reconcile operation, and in this case an error will be returned to the application on the post call. It is the application developer�s responsibility to check the CanPost method prior to calling post and handling the post errors mentioned above thrown during the Post operation.

Post first performs a save and then synchronizes the target version with the current edit version. This results in an explicit commit of any open transactions in the database. The Post operation can not be undone.

reconcile2

public boolean reconcile2(String versionName,
                          boolean acquireLock)
                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException

Reconciles the current version with a target version.

Remarks

The Reconcile2 function reconciles the current edit version with the specified target version. The target version must be an ancestor of the current version or an error will be returned. The target version name passed in is case-sensitive and should take the form {owner}.{version_name} for example, SDE.DEFAULT. The Boolean argument specifies if locks should be obtained or not - true acquires the lock, false does not acquire the locks.

If the returned Boolean value from Reconcile2 is TRUE, then conflicts were detected. Otherwise no conflicts were detected.

A reconcile can only be performed if no other users are currently editing the version. As well, the target version cannot concurrently be reconciling by a second application. See IVersion::IVersionLocks for additional information on detecting version locks.

The Reconcile2 method provides the ability to either acquire or not acquire the version locks during the reconcile process. If the locks are not acquired the version is able to be reconciled in parallel when other versions are currently being reconciled. One may desire this functionality when there is no intention of posting the version after the reconcile process. If the intention is to "post" the version after performing the reconcile, it is strongly recommended that the locks are acquired.

If one does attempt to post after performing the reconcile, there is a chance that the target version might have been modified since the reconcile - in this case, the version will have to be re-reconciled. Therefore, the first reconcile is a waste of server and client system resources.

                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException

Reconciles the current version with a target version.

Remarks

The Reconcile3 function reconciles the current edit version with the specified target version. The target version must be an ancestor of the current version or an error will be returned. The target version name passed in is case-sensitive and should take the form {owner}.{version_name} for example, SDE.DEFAULT. The first Boolean argument acquireLock specifies if locks should be obtained or not - true acquires the lock, false does not acquire the locks. The second Boolean argument abortIfConflicts specifies if the reconcile process should abort the reconcile if conflicts are detected for any class. Ideally, abortIfConflicts is only set to true when performing a reconcile in a automated batch type environment where a user does not have the ability to interactively resolve conflicts.

If the returned Boolean value from Reconcile3 is TRUE, then conflicts were detected. Otherwise no conflicts were detected.

A reconcile can only be performed if no other users are currently editing the version. As well, the target version cannot concurrently be reconciling by a second application. See IVersion::IVersionLocks for additional information on detecting version locks.

Remarks

The ExecuteSQL method can be used to send an arbitrary SQL statement to the underlying database for execution. The statement can be any DDL (data definition language) or DML (data manipulation language) statement but can not return any result sets. The syntax for the SQL is as required by the underlying database. The workspace supports an optional ISQLSyntax interface that provides information to applications on aspects of the SQL Syntax for the underlying database.

To determine if a workspace supports the ExecutesSQL method, an application can check the value of the canExecuteSQLworkspace property via the optional IWorkspaceProperties interface. In general, this method is only supported on local and remote database workspaces.

                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Opens an existing table.

Remarks

The OpenTable method can be used to open any existing table or object class in the workspace given its fully qualified name. The table object returned will always support the ITable interface. The returned table object will support additional interfaces depending on the type of table. For example, object classes will additionally support the IObjectClass interface.

Use the IDatabaseConnectionInfo interface to determine the User and Database (if applicable). ISQLSyntax::QualifyTableName can be used to determine the fully qualified name for a table. Use the NameExists method on the IWorkspace2 interface to determine if a table with the appropriate name exists in a geodatabase.

Some examples of how to use the name parameter of OpenTable are shown below:

For Coverage feature classes:
cover:feature("stream:arc")

For info tables:
cover:feature("stream.aat")

For Oracle tables:
gdb.Owners

For SQLServer tables:

fdo_data.gdb.Owners

For Informix tables:

bladetest2:gdb.Owners

The 4 tables associated with a Topology; T_#_DirtyAreas, T_#_PolyErrors, T_#_LineErrors and T_#_PointErrors cannot be directly edited. For this reason they cannot be opened and will fail with a general Geodatabase error.

                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException

Creates a new table.

Remarks

The CreateTable method can be used to create a new table or object class in the workspace.

The optional CLSID and EXTCLSID parameters allow the calling application to specify the GUIDs for the objects that implement the instance and the class extension behavior for an object class. If no CLSID is passed in, then the resulting table is not registered in the geodatabase object class data dictionary (It will support the IObjectClass interface but will have an ObjectClassID of –1). Valid values for CLSID are esriGeoDatabase.Object or any non-spatial object that extends esriGeoDatabase.Object. CLSID must be set in order to apply a class extension with the EXTCLSID parameter.

The Fields object passed to the Fields parameter should not be an object retrieved from another class. If the new class is going to have the same fields as an existing class, cast the existing class' fields collection to the IClone interface, clone it, and use the cloned fields collection as input for this method.

The optional configurationKeyword parameter allows the application to control the physical layout for this table in the underlying RDBMS. For example, in an Oracle database, the configuration keyword controls the tablespace in which the table is created, the initial and next extents, and other properties. The configuration keywords for an ArcSDE instance are set up by the ArcSDE data administrator, the list of available keywords supported by a workspace may be obtained using the IWorkspaceConfiguration interface.

Note: Table or feature class names with the following prefixes are not supported:

"gdb_"
"sde_"
"delta_"

                               throws IOException,
                                      AutomationException

Opens an existing feature class.

Remarks

The OpenFeatureClass method can be used to open any existing feature class in the workspace given its fully qualified name. Note that every feature class in a geodatabase has a unique fully qualified name, and the OpenFeatureClass method can be used to directly open feature classes that are part of a feature dataset (the feature dataset name does not need to be specified).

Use the IDatabaseConnectionInfo interface to determine the User and Database (if applicable). ISQLSyntax::QualifyTableName can be used to determine the fully qualified name for a feature class. Use the NameExists method on the IWorkspace2 interface to determine if a feature class with the appropriate name exists in a geodatabase.

Opening a feature class that participates in a topology or geometric network will also open all other feature classes participating in the topology or geometric network in memory.

Some examples of how to use the Name parameter of OpenFeatureClass are shown below:

For Coverage feature classes:
buildings:polygon

For Oracle feature classes (the owner prefix is unnecessary if you are connected as the owner of the feature class):
gdb.Buildings

For SQLServer feature classes:

fdo_data.gdb.Buildings

For Informix feature classes:

bladetest2:gdb.Buildings

For VPF feature classes:

ks032193:veg:vgfarea (library:coverage:feature class)

The library name for VPF data is case sensitive and must appear as it is stored in the LAT (Library Attribute Table)

                                        AutomationException

Creates a new standalone feature class under the workspace.

Remarks

The CreateFeatureClass method can be used to create a stand-alone feature class that is not part of a feature dataset. It takes, in addition to all the parameters that CreateTable takes, an esriFeatureType parameter that specifies the category of features to be stored in this feature class (i.e., esriFTSimple, esriFTComplexEdgeFeature) and a shape field name. The shape field name identifies the name of the field in the input fields collection that represents the shape field for the feature class.

The GeometryDef object associated with the shape field object must be fully setup with a spatial reference, grid properties, and the geometry type before calling CreateFeatureClass.

The following esriGeometryType enumeration values represent the valid geometry types for a new feature class' GeometryDef object: esriGeometryPoint, esriGeometryMultipoint, esriGeometryPolyline, esriGeometryPolygon, and esriGeometryMultiPatch.

If the feature class is being created in geodatabase then the fields collection must contain, at a minimum, an Object ID field and a Shape field. The required fields can be obtained from the class description for the type of object you wish to create (see the RequiredFields property on IObjectClassDescription).

The CLSID parameter is used to specify what type of feature will be contained by the class. If a null value is passed in for the CLSID, the geodatabase will return Feature instances from the class. In most cases, this is the desired behavior. If the feature class is used to store custom features, the GUID of the custom feature should be provided. Alternatively, the IClassSchemaEdit interface can be used to change the feature class' CLSID following creation.

The EXTCLSID parameter is used to specify what class will be instantiated as the feature class extension. This object must at least support the IClassExtension interface. If a null value is passed in for the EXTCLSID parameter, the feature class will not have a class extension associated with it. Since class extensions are not required, this is often the desired behavior. If the feature class should have an associated extension, the GUID of the class extension should be provided. Alternatively, the IClassSchemaEdit interface can be used to associate a class extension following creation.

The configurationKeywordparameter allows the application to control the physical layout for this table in the underlying RDBMS. For example, in the case of an Oracle database, the configuration keyword controls the tablespace in which the table is created, the initial and next extents, and other properties. The configuration keywords for an ArcSDE instance are set up by the ArcSDE data administrator, and the list of available keywords supported by a workspace may be obtained using the IWorkspaceConfigurationinterface.

If the workspace the feature class will be created in is a pre-9.2 geodatabase, you must ensure the GeometryDef references a low precision spatial reference. 9.1 and earlier versions of the geodatabase only support low precision spatial references, while 9.2 geodatabases require high precision spatial references. Use IControlPrecision2::IsHighPrecision to manage the precision level of the spatial reference used to create the feature class. Use the IGeodatabaseRelease interface to determine the release of the geodatabase.

Developers should be aware that calling this method on a shapefile workspace when a shapefile of the same name already exists will cause the existing shapefile to be deleted. To prevent this, check for the existence of a shapefile prior to calling this method.

Note:Table or feature class names with the following prefixes are not supported:

~ "gdb_"
~ "sde_"
~ "delta_"

                                                  AutomationException

Creates a new relationship class.

Remarks

The CreateRelationshipClass method can be used to create a new stand-alone relationship class that is not part of a feature dataset. The relationship class is implemented as a separate data table whose name is the name of the relationship class if the cardinality is many-to-many or if the relationship class is attributed. The relAttribFields parameter is optional, and a null value may be passed in for non-attributed relationship classes.

Many-to-many or attributed relationship classes require specification of all four key fields�the OriginPrimaryKey and the destPrimaryKey parameters are the primary key fields for the origin and destination object classes. The OriginForeignKey and destForeignKey parameters are the names of the corresponding foreign keys that will be created in the data table representing the relationship class. If the relationship class is one-to-one or one-to-many and not attributed, then the relationship class is implemented as a foreign key field in the destination object class (the OriginForeignKey) that references the primary key field in the origin object class (the OriginPrimaryKey). In this case, the OriginPrimaryKey, the OriginForeignKey, and the destPrimaryKey must be supplied.

The Fields object passed to the relAttrFields parameter should not be an object retrieved from another class. If the new class is going to have the same fields as an existing class, cast the existing class' fields collection to the IClone interface, clone it, and use the cloned fields collection as input for this method.

The set of properties for the dataset.

Description

The PropertySet property is used to return any additional intrinsic properties (but not metadata properties) that may apply to the dataset. One use of this property is to distinguish between the types of File Geodatabase datafile formats. If called on a Feature Class or Table in a File Geodatabase the Datafile Format property can either be esriFGDBStandardDatafile or esriFGDBCompressedDatafile.

Most datasets do not implement this property and will either raise an error or return a null value if it's called. There are a handful of exceptions that will return property sets; these include the datasets from file geodatabases (as mentioned above) and coverages.

Remarks

Examples of intrinsic properties for which explicit methods exist include the SpatialReference and the Extent methods available on the IGeoDataset interface. In most cases this PropertySet will be empty.

IDataset::PropertySet is not supported for Graph objects such as a Geometric Network.

startEditing

public void startEditing(boolean withUndoRedo)
                  throws IOException,
                         AutomationException

Starts editing the workspace.

Remarks

An edit session may be started using the StartEditing method. The withUndoRedo parameter can be used to suppress undo/redo logging if the workspace supports such suppression. Note that the supression of undo/redo logging is not supported for remote database workspaces. StartEditing cannot be called when a edit session is already active. StopEditing must be called first before a new edit session can be started.

Product Availability

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Specified by:: startEditing in interface IWorkspaceEdit

Parameters:: withUndoRedo - The withUndoRedo (in)
Throws:: IOException - If there are interop problems.; AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

stopEditing

public void stopEditing(boolean saveEdits)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

Stops editing the workspace.

Remarks

The StopEditing method is used to end an edit session. The saveEdits parameter controls if edits are saved or discarded. An ArcSDE geodatabase can support multiple concurrent edit sessions on the same version of the database. In such a scenario, StopEditing will return an error code of FDO_E_VERSION_REDEFINED if it detects that the database state associated with the version being edited is no longer the same as it was at the beginning of the edit session (indicating that the version was modified by some other edit session). In this case the application is responsible for calling the IVersionEdit::Reconcile method to reconcile the edit session against the current state of the version being edited. StopEditing may be called again after reconciliation.

Note: With non-versioned editing always be sure to check the current edit state via IsBeingEdited before called StartEditing or StopEditing. If the workspace is being edited outside your context, there will be issues if you call StopEditing. This will cause any other editors of the workspace to become decoupled with the potential loss of their edits.

This method explicitly commit of any active transactions in the database.

                               AutomationException

Begins an edit operation.

Remarks

All related changes to objects in the database within an edit session should be grouped into edit operations. An edit operation is begun using the StartEditOperation method. An edit operation may be thought of as a short transaction nested within the long transaction corresponding to the edit session.

All edits to features that participate in a Topology or Geometric Network must be bracketed within an edit operation.

When using StartEditOperation, proper handling of errors, including the use of AbortEditOperation, is neccessary.

                         AutomationException

Analyze the table to generate DBMS statistics.

Remarks

The AnalyzeTable and AnalyzeIndex methods can be used to acquire DBMS statistics on tables and table indexes. Having up-to-date statistics on a table is key to efficient query performance on the table and a key requirement for efficient queries against versioned tables. Note that datasets that are based on tables support the IDatasetAnalyze method; to analyze all of the tables in a feature dataset, use the IDatasetAnalyze::Analyze method on the feature dataset.

The TableComponents arguement takes values from the enumeration esriTableComponents. These values include esriAddsTable, esriBusinessTable, esriDeletesTable, esriFeatureTable, and esriRasterTable. The values can also be combined together. For example, to analyze the business, adds, and deletes table, you would specify (esriBusinessTable + esriAddsTable + esriDeletesTable)

The auto commit interval is the number of modification operations before a database commit is executed.

Remarks

Setting the AutoCommitInterval to 0 turns auto-commit off, and ensures that the transaction will not commit until the application calls CommitTransaction. The AutoCommitInterval is explicitly set to 0 when an edit session is started. The original value will be reset when the edit session is stopped.

By default the AutoCommitInterval is set to 1000 and it should be noted that user defined transactions will be commited after this threshold is breached.

fillCache

public void fillCache(IEnvelope pExtent)
               throws IOException,
                      AutomationException

Fills the spatial cache using the specified extent.

Remarks

The CacheIsFull property returns true if the cache is full (the cache is active). The FillCache method is used to make the cache active and to set the boundary of the cache. Calling this method causes the workspace to fetch objects from the database and fill the cache. Only features in open feature classes within the cache extent are fetched. Opening a feature class that participates in a topology or geometric network will also open all other feature classes participating in the topology or geometric network.

The time to fill the cache and the amount of memory consumed with the cache depends on the extent of the cache and the density and size of features in the feature classes being cached.

It should be noted that all attributes of a feature within the envelope will be cached when the call is made to FillCache. Also, only those features that are in currently open feature classes will be cached. Therefore if you only want to perform spatial searches against a specific feature class it would make sense to only have that feature class open when the cache is filled. The more feature classes open when FillCache is called the more expensive the fill cache operation is.

                                           AutomationException

Creates a new annotation feature class in the workspace.

Remarks

The CreateAnnotationClass method creates a new annotation feature class that may or may not be feature linked via a relationship class to features in a source feature class (the feature class being annotated).

The CLSID property must be set to esriCarto.AnnotationFeature and the EXTCLSID property must be set to esriCarto.AnnotationFeatureClassExtension. The srcFeatureClass parameter specifies the source feature class and may be set to 0 or Nothing for non-feature linked annotation.

The AnnoProperties parameter specifies the labeling properties to be used for the annotation, and must support the IAnnotateLayerPropertiesCollection interface. The ReferenceScale parameter specifies the reference scale to be used for the annotation. The SymbolCollection parameter specifies the symbols that will be referenced by the annotation elements for the annotation features in this feature class and must support the ISymbolCollection interface.

The autoCreate parameter applies to feature-linked annotation; setting it to True results in a new annotation feature being automatically created when a new feature in the source feature class is created.

                                AutomationException

Updates the symbol collection in the class extension.

Remarks

The AddSymbolCollection and ReplaceSymbolCollection may be used to augment and replace the symbol collection associated with an annotation feature class. Use extreme caution when using these methods--be aware that there may be existing annotation features in the annotation feature class that have annotation elements that may reference symbols by ID. Deleting the symbol for such an ID or replacing it with a different symbol may leave the geometry of the annotation feature out of phase with its symbol, resulting in subsequent problems during drawing and selection. These methods are for use by specialized data loaders that can guarantee the integrity of referenced symbols.

Given a table name, determine its qualification parts.

Remarks

Applications should use the ParseTableName method to split the fully qualified name of a table into its components (database, owner, table). ParseTableName can also be used to return the components of any fully qualified name of a dataset such as feature classes, feature datasets, geometric networks and topologies.

Applications that wish to be RDBMS independent should not assume that �.� is the delimiter used to separate the components of a fully qualified dataset name. Use the QualifyTableName method to determine the qualified name of a dataset for a given workspace.

The FullName parameter refers to the fully qualified name of the dataset and is returned by the IDataset::Name property for a dataset in a geodatabase and the IDatasetName::Name property for a dataset name object. Both methods return the fully qualified name for the dataset.
