Method Details

getStepConstrainerEnablerRecord

StepConstrainerEnablerRecord getStepConstrainerEnablerRecord(Type stepConstrainerEnablerRecordType)
                                                      throws OperationFailedException

Gets the step constrainer enabler record corresponding to the given StepConstrainerEnabler record Type . This method is used to retrieve an object implementing the requested record. The stepConstrainerEnablerRecordType may be the Type returned in getRecordTypes() or any of its parents in a Type hierarchy where hasRecordType(stepConstrainerEnablerRecordType) is true .

Parameters:

stepConstrainerEnablerRecordType - the type of step constrainer enabler record to retrieve

Returns:

the step constrainer enabler record

Throws:

NullArgumentException - stepConstrainerEnablerRecordType is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

UnsupportedException - hasRecordType(stepConstrainerEnablerRecordType) is false

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.
