The IIndexArea 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 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 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 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 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 propertyPermissions
Manages the discretionary permissions assigned to the object.
Public propertyProperties
The IProperties collection of properties for the EngineObject.
(Inherited from IEngineObject.)
Public propertyResourceStatus
Specifies a ResourceStatus constant, which indicates the availability status of an index area, index, or storage area.

For CmTextSearchIndexArea objects, this property specifies the availability status of an IBM® Content Search Services index area. This property can hold one of the following values:

  • OPEN: The index area is active and new indexes can be created in it. New indexes can only be created in an index area when this property is set to OPEN. Existing indexes can also be updated, deleted, or queried.
  • CLOSED: The index area is closed to new indexes. However, existing indexes can be updated, deleted, or queried.
  • FULL: The index area has reached its full capacity because the number of its indexes is equal to the value of its MaxIndexes property and all its indexes are either full or closed. This setting indicates that no more objects can be indexed in the index area. However, existing indexes can be deleted or queried. Only the Content Engine server can set the ResourceStatus property to FULL.
  • STANDBY: The index area is inactive. New indexes cannot be created, but existing entries can be updated, deleted, or queried. If there are no open index areas available, the Content Engine server can set the status of an index area that is set to STANDBY to OPEN.

For these CmTextSearchIndexArea objects, the Content Engine server supports only the following manual changess between status values:

  • OPEN to CLOSED: This change is always allowed.
  • OPEN to STANDBY: This change is always allowed.
  • CLOSED to OPEN: This change is only allowed if the value of the MaxIndexes property is greater than the number of indexes in the index area or there are open indexes in the index area.
  • CLOSED to STANDBY: This change is only allowed if the value of the MaxIndexes property is greater than the number of indexes in the index area or there are open indexes in the index area.
  • FULL to OPEN: This change is only allowed if the value of the MaxIndexes property is greater than the number of indexes in the index area or there are open indexes in the index area.
  • FULL to CLOSED: This change is always allowed.
  • FULL to STANDBY: This change is only allowed if the value of the MaxIndexes property is greater than the number of indexes in the index area or there are open indexes in the index area.
  • STANDBY to OPEN: This change is always allowed, but it should occur automatically when one index becomes full and a standby index is opened.
  • STANDBY to CLOSED: This change is always allowed.

For CmTextSearchIndex objects, this property specifies the availability status of an IBM® Content Search Services index. This property can hold one of the following values:

  • OPEN: The index is open for create index requests. New index entries can only be created in an index when this property is set to OPEN. Existing index entries can also be updated, deleted, or queried.
  • CLOSED: The index is closed for create index requests. However, existing index entries can be updated, deleted, or queried. If an index job marks an index to be deleted, the server sets the ResourceStatus property to CLOSED and sets the IndexingStatus property to REPLACING. As long as the IndexingStatus property is set to REPLACING, you cannot change the ResourceStatus property from CLOSED to OPEN by using the API. If the index job is canceled, the server sets the IndexingStatus property to NORMAL; the ResourceStatus property remains set to CLOSED unless it is changed by the API.
  • FULL: The index has reached its full capacity, as defined by the index area to which it belongs (MaxObjectsPerIndex and MaxSizePerIndexKbytes properties of a CmTextSearchIndexArea object). This setting indicates that no more index entries can be created. However, existing index entries can be deleted or queried. Only the Content Engine server can set the ResourceStatus property to FULL.
  • UNAVAILABLE: The index is unavailable for indexing. New indexes cannot be created and existing index entries cannot be updated, deleted or queried. A query that includes an unavailable index will not fail, but it will not produce any results. An administrator should inform users when an index has been set to UNAVAILABLE. An administrator typically sets an index to the UNAVAILABLE status to prevent reindexing failures because of a corrupted index. A corrupted index that has been set to UNAVAILABLE allows reindexing to complete without generating an error that can cause the entire reindexing operation to fail. After an index has been set to UNAVAILABLE, it cannot be set to any other state; this state is a final state for the index. It is recommended that an unavailable index be reindexed as soon as possible. The server automatically creates a new index or opens a standby index to handle any pending index requests for the unavailable index. After an unavailable index is reindexed, the server deletes the unavailable index.

For these CmTextSearchIndex objects, the Content Engine server supports only the following manual changes between status values:

  • OPEN to CLOSED: This change is always allowed.
  • OPEN to UNAVAILABLE: This change is always allowed.
  • CLOSED to OPEN: This change is only allowed if the index is not scheduled to be deleted by an index job (that is, the IndexingStatus property is not set to REPLACING).
  • CLOSED to UNAVAILABLE: This change is always allowed.
  • FULL to OPEN: This change is only allowed if the index is not at full capacity, as defined by the index area to which it belongs (MaxObjectsPerIndex and MaxSizePerIndexKbytes properties of a CmTextSearchIndexArea object).
  • FULL to CLOSED: This change is always allowed.
  • FULL to UNAVAILABLE: This change is always allowed.

For StorageArea objects, this property specifies the availability status of a storage area. This property can hold one of the following values:

  • OPEN: The storage area is open for new content. Existing content can be updated, deleted, or retrieved.
  • CLOSED: The storage area has been disabled or its closure date is set and occurs in the past. In a closed storage area, new content cannot be created and existing content cannot be updated. However, existing content can be deleted or retrieved.
  • FULL: The maximum size or maximum number of content elements in the storage area has been exceeded. In a full storage area, new content cannot be created and existing content cannot be updated. However, existing content can be deleted or retrieved.
  • STANDBY: The storage area is in standby mode. In a standby storage area, new content cannot be created. However, existing content can be updated, deleted, or retrieved.

For these StorageArea objects, the Content Engine server supports the following automatic changes between status values:

  • OPEN to FULL: Applied when adding a content element to a storage area exceeds the maximum size or maximum number of content elements allowed in the storage area.
  • OPEN to CLOSED: Applied when adding a content element to a storage area whose closure date is in the past.
  • STANDBY to OPEN: Applied when adding a content element to a storage area and the storage policy contains a standby storage area but no open storage areas.

For these StorageArea objects, the Content Engine server supports only the following manual changes between status values:

  • Changes to CLOSED, FULL, or STANDBY: These changes are allowed at any time (size, count, or closure date limits do not restrict the change).
  • Changes to OPEN: These changes are allowed only when the size and count are below the specified limits, and the closure date is in the future (or null). This restriction includes changes from OPEN to OPEN, which allow you to change limit values for an open area.
Public propertySite
Identifies the site associated with a given object. A site represents a geographical area in the FileNet P8 domain. If you do not specify a site when creating the associated object, the value of that object's Site property defaults to the value of IDomain.DefaultSite.

Note that you cannot change the site directly on an IObjectStore object. To move an object store to a different site, you must change this property on the ICmDatabaseConnection object that is referenced by the IObjectStore object.

For IIsolatedRegion, this property is deprecated.
