The IChoiceList type exposes the following members.

ToggleProperties

Type NameDescription
Public propertyAuditedEvents
An EventSet collection of the Event objects containing the audited events that have occurred for the object.
Public propertyChoiceValues
A ChoiceList object representing a set of allowable values. If it is associated with a property, ChoiceValues provides a discrete set of possible values that the property can hold. Otherwise, if a ChoiceValues is associated with a Choice object, it defines the set of possible values in a choice list group.
Public propertyClassDescription
The ClassDescription object containing the property metadata for the EngineObject.
(Inherited from IEngineObject.)
Public propertyCreator
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.

Public propertyDataType
Specifies a TypeID constant, which indicates the data type of the value that an object can hold.

For PropertyDescription, PropertyDefinition, and PropertyTemplate objects, this property is read-only and specifies the data type of the value that an object property can hold. Because the value of the DataType property is automatically set by the Content Engine server to correspond to the specific object type of the PropertyDescription, PropertyDefinition, or PropertyTemplate object, you do not need to set it when you are creating a property template or property definition. For example, in a PropertyDescriptionBinary, PropertyDefinitionBinary, or PropertyTemplateBinary object, the server automatically sets the DataType property to a value of BINARY.

For ChoiceList objects, this property is settable on create and must be a LONG or STRING constant value. This property determines whether a choice list is an integer-type choice list, which holds integer-type choice items or a string-type choice list, which holds string-type choice items.

For ColumnDefinition objects, this property is read-only and specifies the data type of the object property value that is stored in the represented database table column.

For CmIndexPartitionConstraint objects, this property is read-only and specifies the data type of an index partition constraint. Only the following values are valid:

  • DATE: Specifies a date index partition constraint.
  • STRING: Specifies a string index partition constraint.
Public propertyDateCreated
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.

Public propertyDateLastModified
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).

Public propertyDescriptiveText
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
Public propertyDisplayName
The user-readable, provider-specific name of an object. This property is usually the designated Name property of the object's class.

For ICmAuditProcessingBookmark and IAuditDefinition objects, this property is intended to identify client applications that process the audit log. For ICmAuditProcessingBookmark objects, this property, in support of the audit disposition feature, identifies the client that created the object. For IAuditDefinition objects, this property identifies a set of audit definitions for a given client or client functionality.

For ICmAuditProcessingBookmark and IAuditDefinition 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 ICmAuditProcessingBookmark or IAuditDefinition objects. Therefore, the client application is responsible for enforcing uniqueness.

Public propertyExternalReplicaIdentities
Specifies an ExternalIdentityList collection of the read-only ExternalIdentity objects that represent the identities of replicas of this object in external repositories.
(Inherited from IReplicable.)
Public propertyHasHierarchy
Specifies whether a given choice list has a hierarchical structure (true) or not (false).
Public propertyId
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 IUser and IGroup 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, IUser.Id and IGroup.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.Id is equal to PropertyTemplate.Id, which is equal to PropertyDefinition.PrimaryId.
  • PropertyDefinition.Id is not equal to PropertyDefinition.PrimaryId.
  • PropertyDefinition.Id is not equal to PropertyDescription.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.

Public propertyInstalledByAddOn
Indicates the AddOn that installed this object. If null, this object was either created by the system or an external application.
Public propertyLastModifier
Indicates the name of the user who last modified 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 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).

Public propertyName
The name for this object.

For most classes, this property is read-only and returns the value of the designated name property for the object, or its ID if there is no name property. If ClassDescription.NamePropertyIndex has a value, this property contains the value of the designated name property. If there is no designated name property value, and the object has an Id property, this property contains the string value of the Id property. If neither of these conditions is satisfied, this property contains an empty string.

For a ComponentRelationship object, this property is read/write and specifies the name of the object.

Public propertyOwner
Manages the security owner assigned to the object.
Public propertyPermissions
Manages the discretionary permissions assigned to the object.
Public propertyProperties
The IProperties collection of properties for the EngineObject.
(Inherited from IEngineObject.)
Public propertyReplicationGroup
A ReplicationGroup object representing the replication group to which this replicable object belongs.

For ReplicationJournalEntry objects only, this property represents the replication group to which the source object of the replication operation generating this journal entry belongs.

(Inherited from IReplicable.)
