Description

This session creates, updates, and deletes IssueConstrainerEnablers . The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. OsidForms are requested for each create or update and may not be reused.

Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create an IssueConstrainerEnabler , an IssueConstrainerEnablerForm is requested using getIssueConstrainerEnablerFormForCreate() specifying the desired record Types or none if no record Types are needed. The returned IssueConstrainerEnablerForm will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once the IssueConstrainerEnablerForm is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each IssueConstrainerEnablerForm corresponds to an attempted transaction.

For updates, IssueConstrainerEnablerForms are requested to the IssueConstrainerEnabler Id that is to be updated using getIssueConstrainerEnablerFormForUpdate() . Similarly, the IssueConstrainerEnablerForm has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The IssueConstrainerEnablerForm can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused.

The delete operations delete IssueConstrainerEnablers . To unmap an IssueConstrainerEnabler from the current Oubliette , the IssueConstrainerEnablerOublietteAssignmentSession should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the IssueConstrainerEnabler itself thus removing it from all known Oubliette catalogs.

This session includes an Id aliasing mechanism to assign an external Id to an internally assigned Id .
