Detailed Description

This class allows you to modify and view global mappings in the [Map.xxx] section of the CPF file through programatic APIs.

While properties are usually modified through the System Management portal, there may be some occasion where modifying them through the API's is best for your system. In all the Config methods, if you do not specify the CPFFile parameter, the currently active CPF file is used. If you wish to modify a CPF file which is not the currently active one, then specify the CPFFile you wish to modify in the method call.
The Flags parameter does not normally need to be specified; the defaults are usually sufficient for most cases.
You can use either the provided API's (Create/Get/Modify/Delete) to modify the properties by passing in the correct parameters, or use Object syntax to open and directly manipulate the config objects (Open() and Exists()). Most objects created here need only to specify the Name of the object, and 1 or 2 properties since the the defaults are what are commonly used for most cases.

EXAMPLE:

    ; Use class methods to create a global mapping in namespace USER to the SAMPLES database
    SYS>s Namespace="USER"
    SYS>s Name="ABC"
    SYS>s Properties("Database")="SAMPLES"
    SYS>s Status=##Class(Config.MapGlobals).Create(Namespace,Name,.Properties)
    SYS>i 'Status w !,"Error="_$SYSTEM.Status.GetErrorText(Status)
    ; Now add a SLM mapping for a global XYZ(100). Note that two mappings will actually
    ; get created, a mapping of XYZ to namespace USER, and XYZ(100) to SAMPLES. We need this
    ; because the main mapping of XYZ will contain the collation of the entire global
    ; (which is 5 by default, Standard collation)
    SYS>s Namespace="USER"
    SYS>s Name="XYZ(100)"
    SYS>s Properties("Database")="SAMPLES"
    SYS>s Status=##Class(Config.MapGlobals).Create(Namespace,Name,.Properties)
    SYS>i 'Status w !,"Error="_$SYSTEM.Status.GetErrorText(Status)
    ; Use class methods to modify properties
    SYS>s Status=##Class(Config.MapGlobals).Get(Namespace,Name,.Properties)
    SYS>i 'Status w !,"Error="_$SYSTEM.Status.GetErrorText(Status)
    SYS>zw Properties
    Properties("Collation")=5
    Properties("Database")="SAMPLES"
    Properties("LockDatabase")=""
    SYS>s Properties("Database")="TEST"
    SYS>s Status=##Class(Config.MapGlobals).Modify(Namespace,Name,.Properties)
    SYS>i 'Status w !,"Error="_$SYSTEM.Status.GetErrorText(Status)
    ; Now use Objects to modify properties
    SYS>s Obj=##Class(Config.MapGlobals).Open(Namespace,Name)
    ; We could have used i ##Class(Config.MapGlobals).Exists(Namespace,Name,.Obj) instead of Open()
    SYS>w Obj.Database
    TEST
    SYS>s Obj.Database="USER"
    SYS>s Status=Obj.Save()
    SYS>i 'Status w !,"Error="_$SYSTEM.Status.GetErrorText(Status)
    ; Now delete the object we just created
    SYS>s Status=##Class(Config.MapGlobals).Delete(Namespace,Name)
    SYS>i 'Status w !,"Error="_$SYSTEM.Status.GetErrorText(Status)

Called from Save().

Set some fields to their defaults, and normalize begin:end.

◆ OnDeleteCallBack()

_.Library.Status OnDeleteCallBack ( _.Library.ObjectHandle  Obj)
staticprivate

Called from Delete().


Any error returned here will keep the object from being deleted.

◆ IsValidSubscript()

_.Library.Status IsValidSubscript ( _.Library.String  Sub,
_.Library.Integer  Collation 
)
static

Returns true if the argument passes the Subscript/Sbscript range syntax check.


Internal use only.
Note that this is also called by EMS, and shouldn't reference any SYS Config info
