All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession
All Known Subinterfaces:
ProcessEnablerSearchSession

public interface ProcessEnablerQuerySession extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for searching among ProcessEnabler objects. The search query is constructed using the ProcessEnablerQuery .

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

  • federated office view: searches include process enabler in office of which this office is an ancestor in the office hierarchy
  • isolated office view: searches are restricted to process enabler in this office

Process enablers may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the ProcessEnablerQuery .
